State Lab Drug Sample Scandal Unfolding in Massachusetts

Hundreds of criminal drug cases potentially subject to review because of alleged tampering
 Glickman Turley criminal defense attorneys are now reviewing post conviction criminal drug possession and possession with intent to deliver cases prosecuted throughout Massachusetts with the objective that many defendants may very well have legal grounds to have their convictions reversed and their cases dismissed due to allegations of drug evidence tampering at the Massachusetts State Police crime lab. This is of particular importance to defendants presently detained in prison on bail, serving a sentence or being held under immigration detainers subject to deportation because of a criminal controlled substance conviction. It is notable that criminal defendants in counties throughout Massachusetts that received mandatory minimum drug sentences may also have legal grounds to have their criminal convictions and mandatory sentence reversed or dismissed. Our experienced criminal defense attorneys have represented hundreds of criminal defendants in drug and narcotic possession, delivery, and trafficking cases. If you were convicted of a drug case including any controlled substance conviction such as possession or possession with intent to deliver, Marijuana, oxycodone pills, cocaine, methamphetamine, contact a Glickman Turley criminal defense lawyer immediately. For all appropriate criminal cases we will file an emergency motion in court to withdraw prior guilty plea and conviction and/or a motion for a new trial or to have your criminal case dismissed.
