As in any court in a major Massachusetts city Lowell sees its share of drug cases. Several times each week the local newspapers report drug arrests in Lowell. These cases can range from simple possession to large scale trafficking of drugs such as cocaine and heroin. The larger drug trafficking cases prosecuted in Lowell usually stem from a search of someone’s home conducted with the authority of a warrant. Lengthy police investigations, often with the use of an informant lead the police certain suspect’s residences where controlled sales to informants or undercover officers take place. This leads to the application for a search warrant. Successful investigations result in the seizure of large quantities of drugs, often kilos. Other large scale drug prosecutions in Lowell originate through motor vehicle stops on nearby highways such as Route 495. This has become a major thoroughfare for drug traffickers on their way to Lawrence from larger distribution centers such as New York City.

The more common variety of felony drug case in Lowell, Massachusetts starts with police observing a car occupied by young adults or teenagers. The officers will report that they claimed to have observed a motor vehicle violation giving them the right to stop the car. They search the car and its occupants, finding drugs in the process. Winning these cases involves suppressing the stop, search and seizure based on constitutional violations. Young adults and teenagers are common targets of the police particularly when they appear to be driving around aimlessly. Typically, the defendants in these cases are suburban kids who drove into Lowell to buy drugs, not sell them however due to the quantity found in their possession at the time of the stop they get charged with intent to distribute. Having the right lawyer defending you in cases like these is absolutely necessary.

Domestic assault and battery cases have become increasingly charged in Lowell. Domestic violence matters trigger restraining orders and highly scrutinized prosecutions.
