Drug Classifications

Drugs in Massachusetts are classified under 5 different substance classes, each with its own variations of laws, charges, and sentencing guidelines, often with mandatory minimum and maximum incarceration times if convicted. At Bellotti Law Group, our experienced defense attorneys have successfully defended clients charged with all levels of drug offenses. We work diligently to minimize the damage that drug charges inflict in your life by trying to obtain dismissal or charges or reduced sentences for you.
