Boston Drug Trafficking Charges – Felony Defense That Protects Your Future
If you've been charged with drug trafficking in Boston, you're facing the full weight of the Massachusetts criminal justice system. Drug trafficking is a felony offense with mandatory prison time and severe collateral consequences. At the Law Offices of Kensley R. Barrett, our experienced defense attorneys offer aggressive representation in Boston Municipal Court to fight for your rights and protect your future.
Understanding Massachusetts Drug Trafficking Law
Under M.G.L. c. 94C, drug trafficking is defined as the knowing distribution, intent to distribute, or possession of certain thresholds of illegal substances, such as:
🔹 Cocaine
🔹 Heroin
🔹 Fentanyl
🔹 Methamphetamine
🔹 Prescription pills (Oxycodone, Xanax, Adderall)
Penalties are based on weight and substance type:
⛓️ 3+ years mandatory minimum for smaller weights of heroin or cocaine
⛓️ 10+ years for high quantities of fentanyl or trafficking near schools
💸 Up to $50,000 in fines
🚗 Driver's license suspension
Police and prosecutors treat trafficking cases as high-priority felonies. Without strong legal counsel, you could face decades behind bars.
Boston Municipal Court
Most drug trafficking cases originating in Boston begin in:
Boston Municipal Court
📍 Edward W. Brooke Courthouse, 24 New Chardon Street, Boston, MA 02114
📞 (617) 788-8700
Trafficking charges may later be transferred to Suffolk County Superior Court due to the felony classification. However, initial hearings and arraignments are held in Boston Municipal Court. Having a defense team present from Day One can make the difference between pretrial release and pretrial detention.
