Lawrence Criminal Defense Attorney Achieves Dismissal of Drug Dealing Charges

Jurisdiction: Lawrence District Court

Date: June 11, 2024

Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. has recently secured a significant victory for a client charged with drug dealing. By effectively utilizing a motion to suppress and tracking down a crucial witness, the firm succeeded in getting the charges dismissed, enabling the client to avoid severe legal consequences and continue his life without a criminal record.

Case Background: In October 2023, our client was charged with possession with intent to distribute a Class D substance (marijuana). This case followed a prior incident in 2013 where the client faced charges of heroin sales to an undercover detective. Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. successfully got those charges dismissed, preventing mandatory deportation and allowing the client to become a U.S. citizen.

Key Legal Challenges:

1. Class D Drug Dealing Charges: The client was accused of possessing a significant quantity of marijuana with the intent to distribute, which could have resulted in severe penalties.
2. Motion to Suppress Evidence: We argued that the evidence obtained during the stop and search was in violation of the client’s Fourth Amendment rights.
3. Second Offense: This was the client’s second drug-related offense, potentially complicating the case.

Outcome: Erkan & Sullivan, P.C. filed a strong motion to suppress the evidence, demonstrating that the stop and subsequent search were unlawful. Utilizing a private detective, we tracked down a key witness who testified that the client was not blocking the alley as claimed by the police. This testimony, coupled with our legal arguments, led to a general continuance and ultimately the dismissal of the charges.
