Massachusetts Is A State In Which Many Drug Charges Carry A Minimum Mandatory Jail Sentence

Lately, the consensus regarding the war on drugs has been viewed as a failure by most. From police officers to doctors to attorneys, many agree, this is a losing war. Its casualties are far greater than prior to the war's declaration in the mid eighties. Many would agree it has created a bigger problem rather than a solution.

While policies are failing everyone agrees, people's lives are being ruined. Not just by drugs, but because the penalties brought upon them that are hardly conducive to rehabilitating an individual. Jailing someone for a small amount of a controlled substance for a long time is only going to disenfranchise an individual. Only when sentencing laws are reformed will we begin to correct our flawed system.

Massachusetts is a state in which many drug charges carry a Minimum Mandatory Jail Sentence. A Minimum Mandatory Jail Sentence is just what it sounds like. If you are convicted of a particular crime, a Judge's hands are tied when it comes to reducing the jail sentence or giving you probation instead. This is why it is imperative that you consult with an attorney experienced in circumventing Minimum Mandatory Jail Sentences.

Attorney Moraski is well versed in negotiating with prosecutors to get the particular charge that carries the Minimum Mandatory Sentence dropped. He also has practical knowledge in convincing a Judge or jury that the charge that carries the Minimum Mandatory Jail Sentence does not apply in this case.
