Massachusetts Conspiracy Crimes Lawyer

Contact Boston Conspiracy Attorney Steven J. Topazio

Conspiracy cases generally involve complex facts and a number of potential witnesses whose names become known to the government during a long-term investigation and information gathering process. Prosecutors attempt to demonstrate a conspiracy with proof of an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, together with an overt act by one of them to accomplish the unlawful purpose. Conspiracy charges are usually serious, and can result in lengthy prison sentences. Whether you are believed to be a "kingpin" in the conspiracy, or a minor player, it is important to have an effective criminal defense attorney on your side that can defend you in a conspiracy case.

Defending Conspiracy Charges throughout Massachusetts

Attorney Steven J. Topazio represents clients throughout Massachusetts who are facing criminal charges including a variety of charges involving allegations of a criminal conspiracy. Some of the conspiracy charges he handles include:

• Drug trafficking
• Possession with intent to distribute
• Assault and Battery
• Money laundering
• Conspiracy to commit burglary
• Conspiracy to commit a white-collar crime
• Conspiracy to commit a theft offenses

Conduct that might otherwise be legal can actually be illegal if it was conducted in furtherance of a criminal conspiracy. To make things worse, people involved in a conspiracy in a relatively minor way may be held accountable for the acts of more serious actors. Furthermore, even if only one of the members of the conspiracy elevates the level of criminality by committing a more serious crime, criminal liability may exist for all members of the conspiracy if the Commonwealth can prove that such conduct could have been reasonably foreseen.

Defense

There are a number of potential defenses in a conspiracy case. You may have never joined the conspiracy, or if you did, the prosecution may misperceive the nature and extent of your involvement. You may have withdrawn from the conspiracy. The drug quantities in a drug conspiracy may be overstated, or the amount of loss attributable to you in a fraud conspiracy may be inflated. The witnesses against you may be lying in order to cut a more favorable deal with the prosecutor. In all of these instances, Attorney Steven J. Topazio will work hard to extricate you from trouble where possible, or resolve your case through the striking of a favorable plea disposition when it is in your best interest to do so.
