Defending Drug Charges
If you are facing charges for drug possession, you need to work with an experienced lawyer who can protect your rights. I am Jeffrey G. Sweeney, and I defend clients throughout Essex County, Massachusetts, who are under pressure in the legal system. I bring over five years of experience to my firm — the Law Offices of Jeffrey G. Sweeney — and give clients the strong representation they need at every step of the process. Contact me online or call 978-712-4829 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Rehabilitation: Making an Effort to Change
During my practice, I have developed numerous connections throughout the community. I help clients get into treatment programs, in-patient care, outpatient services and counseling opportunities before they go to trial. By proactively taking these steps before trial, we can show the court that you are working to address your problems with drug possession, allowing greater room for negotiation.
I also help clients get into sober houses. Sober houses can serve as a safe halfway house for clients who are working to get clean. The houses offer reduced rent charges and drug-testing. They are staffed with substance abuse counselors, some of whom are former clients and can understand what you're going through.
Benefits of Hiring an Attorney
When you are going through a tough time, it can be helpful to have one target person who can help. I work with clients to secure bail, and if it is necessary, I can also help contact family members and explain the process to them.

Consequences of Drug Possession Charges
Few things can loom in your future more than a criminal conviction for possession of marijuana, heroin or cocaine. While the immediate consequences can be daunting, it is also important to think about the long-term ramifications in your professional life. I fight to minimize charges on behalf of my clients, helping reduce consequences such as:
- Driver's license suspension
- Detainer on immigrants
- Deportation
- Seizure of private property
- Jail time
Do not let drug possession charges terrorize your future. Schedule your free initial consultation by contacting me online or by calling 978-712-4829.
