I was arrested in Chelsea District Court in November 2013, and charged with possession with intent to distribute class B (suboxone) and conspiracy to violate Commonwealth drug laws. Mr. Russell allowed me to have input with all aspects of my case once he became involved, from the bail reduction hearing ($2000 cash bail reduced to personal recognizance), to the final disposition (probation for 18 months, upon a guilty plea to the possession with intent charge only). My case was high-profile and involved intense negotiation with the Commonwealth's special prosecutor, Mr. Walsh. I am thankful that Adam Russell came to my defense, as my case polarized many members of the Massachusetts Bar who knew me personally. Since I am now on probation, and following all requirements of my conditions, I feel that this lesson learned has been valuable to my growth as a person.
Mr. Russell proved to know the issues surrounding this case, and invaluable in dealing with the Commonwealth, which I could not have done on my own.
