Criminal Defense Lawyer: Drug Offenses
Over 18 Years of Experience Representing Clients in the Greater Boston Area
If you have been charged with drug possession or any other crime involving the use, possession or sale of a controlled substance, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests. A conviction can have serious and long-term consequences, limiting your employment options, affecting your immigration status, carrying substantial fines and even jail time.
At the office of William J. Hernon, III, Attorney at Law, in Lynn, Massachusetts, I have protected the rights of individuals throughout the Greater Boston area and the North Shore since 1990, including people charged with drug offenses. An adjunct professor of law at the Massachusetts School of Law in Andover, I have a comprehensive knowledge of criminal law and procedure, and work hard to provide efficient and effective counsel to people from all walks of life.

Drug Charges
I defend individuals charged with drug crimes, including possession, possession with intent to sell or distribute and selling controlled substances in a school zone.
When you hire me to protect your rights in a drug crime, I will thoroughly review all aspects of the investigation and arrest to determine whether your constitutional rights were violated. I will examine how the evidence was obtained and if the search and/or seizure was done appropriately and with respect to your rights. I will also question witnesses and look at police reports to establish whether you were properly advised of your Miranda rights before making any statements to law enforcement officers.
Protecting Your Rights.
I will review how evidence was gathered and how search warrants were obtained. If evidence came from anonymous tips or unreliable sources, or if the police lacked probable cause to obtain a warrant, search your vehicle or premises, or make an arrest, I will seek to exclude the evidence or obtain a reduction or dismissal of all charges.
