Drug Charges

At Milligan & Higgins, we provide experienced and skilled defense representation for individuals facing drug-related charges in Massachusetts. Whether you’re dealing with possession, trafficking, distribution, or any other offense involving illegal drugs, our dedicated criminal defense team is here to protect your rights, build a strong defense, and work tirelessly to minimize the impact of these charges on your life.

Massachusetts drug laws carry serious consequences, including potential jail time, fines, and lasting effects on your personal and professional life. From minor possession cases to complex trafficking charges, each case has unique elements that require a tailored approach. We examine every aspect of your situation, from the initial arrest and search procedures to the specific evidence against you, seeking any flaws in law enforcement’s conduct or the evidence itself that could support a strong defense. Our goal is to explore every possible angle to protect your freedom and secure the best possible outcome for your case.

If you’re facing charges related to possession of illegal substances, such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, or prescription medications without a valid prescription, we understand the specific laws and defenses that apply. We also handle cases involving larger-scale drug offenses, such as distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking, which carry even harsher penalties. Our team understands the complex criteria prosecutors use to escalate charges and will work to contest these accusations, reduce charges, or seek alternative sentencing when appropriate.

Beyond immediate legal defense, we also understand that drug-related issues are often tied to personal challenges, including addiction. We advocate for our clients not only in the courtroom but also in exploring options for rehabilitation and treatment as alternatives to incarceration when possible. Massachusetts courts increasingly recognize treatment-based outcomes for some drug-related offenses, and we will work to secure a resolution that supports your long-term recovery and well-being.

At Milligan & Higgins, we are committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and aggressive representation. Our team stays up to date on Massachusetts’ evolving drug laws to ensure you receive the most effective defense. Facing drug charges is challenging, but with our experienced attorneys by your side, you don’t have to face it alone. Contact us today to discuss your case, learn more about your options, and take the first step toward protecting your rights and your future.
