Handling All Types of Drug Cases
in Mass.

Attorney Burns handles all types of drug cases, including those involving drugs such as:

  • Cocaine
  • Heroin
  • Fentanyl
  • Crack
  • Prescription drugs such as Xanax, Klonopin and Gabapentin

In addition to handling cases focused on drugs like these, she defends clients against marijuana charges, Even though possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use is legal in the Commonwealth, it is still illegal to grow more than six plants per person, and growing or possessing large amounts of the drug is prohibited under state law. Consequently, district attorneys in Massachusetts will still bring charges of cultivating, possessing or distributing cannabis when sizeable amounts are involved.

Sometimes prosecutors will bring drug charges in cases involving domestic assault to try to ensure that defendants face as many charges as possible. Attorney Burns understands this tactic and will aggressively advocate for dismissal of the drug charges in such cases.

Defense Strategies in Massachusetts
Drug Cases

Attorney Burns works with clients to build strong defense cases against drug charges. Depending on the circumstances, she uses approaches such as:

  • Challenging an illegal search and seizure of a vehicle or residence
  • Determining whether law enforcement charged the case correctly based on the amount of drug involved
  • Working with addicts and their families to steer them into a diversion program that treats the addiction and reduces jail or prison time if the treatment program is completed
  • Seeking dismissals of drug-related charges when the police don’t follow the process required by the statutes

She uses these and other strategies to help clients put their lives back together and move forward.
