Drug Crimes

Attorney Faigel has over 30 years of experience handling all types of drug – related offenses. His experience ranges from lower level misdemeanor offenses to felony drug offenses in both State and Federal Court. Common offenses include trafficking (selling) controlled substances, illegal manufacture of drugs, illegal possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs and possession of a controlled substance or related paraphernalia.

In Massachusetts, and elsewhere, the impact of even a minor drug related crime can be severe due to the harsh and strict state and federal drug laws.

A conviction for a drug related crime can result in serious penalties, including jail, the inability to obtain employment, or find housing.
