- Probation, drug testing, and court-ordered treatment
- Loss of employment or housing opportunities

In Stoughton, prosecutors often push hard—but the court also offers options for first-time offenders and low-level cases if handled properly.
How We Fight Drug Charges in Stoughton District Court
We know what works in local courtrooms and how to tailor our defense to fit your situation.
That might mean:
- Challenging the validity of a stop or search (especially in traffic cases)
- Disputing who actually possessed the drugs (constructive possession defense)
- Suppressing illegal evidence or unreliable lab results
- Pushing for pretrial diversion, a CWOF, or dismissal
- Fighting for alternative sentencing or addiction treatment referrals
We also help clients seal past cases once they’re eligible—so your record doesn’t hold you back.
FAQs – Drug Crimes in Stoughton
Will I go to jail for a first offense?
Usually not. First-time offenders in Stoughton may be eligible for diversion, CWOF, or probation without conviction. We fight to keep you out of jail and off the record.
What if the drugs weren’t mine?
We can challenge “constructive possession,” especially if drugs were found in a shared car or apartment. The burden is on the state to prove it was yours.
Can I seal the case later?
Yes—many drug cases can be sealed after the waiting period. We’ll walk you through the steps.
