Criminal Charges We Defend in Boston
We defend clients against a wide range of misdemeanor and felony charges, including:
DUI / OUI Defense
Massachusetts OUI laws are strict, with severe penalties for even first-time offenses. We analyze every aspect of your case, including traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer results.
Drug Crimes
Charges involving possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances can carry harsh penalties. We challenge unlawful searches, improper police procedures, and evidentiary issues.
Assault and Violent Crimes
Allegations of assault, battery, or more serious violent offenses require immediate and aggressive defense. Many of these cases involve conflicting accounts, making early legal strategy critical.
Theft and Property Crimes
From shoplifting to larceny and fraud, theft-related offenses can impact your record and employment opportunities. We work to reduce or dismiss charges whenever possible.
Domestic Violence Charges
Domestic assault and restraining order violations are taken seriously by Massachusetts courts. These cases often move quickly and require careful handling to avoid long-term consequences.
Federal Criminal Charges
If you are facing federal charges, the stakes are even higher. Federal cases involve strict sentencing guidelines and aggressive prosecution. We provide experienced defense in complex federal matters.
The Massachusetts Criminal Process
Understanding the criminal process can help reduce uncertainty and allow you to make informed decisions.
1. Arraignment
This is your first court appearance, where charges are formally presented. Bail conditions may be set at this stage.
2. Pretrial Hearings
Your attorney will review evidence, file motions, and negotiate with prosecutors. This is often where cases are won or positioned for dismissal.
3. Trial
If your case proceeds to trial, the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A strong defense strategy is critical.
4. Sentencing or Resolution
If a case is resolved through plea negotiations or trial, sentencing will follow. The goal is always to minimize or avoid penalties.
Defense Strategies That Make a Difference
Every criminal case is unique, but effective defense often involves:
- Challenging illegal searches and seizures
- Suppressing improperly obtained evidence
- Questioning witness credibility
- Identifying procedural errors by law enforcement
- Leveraging weaknesses in the prosecution’s case
In many situations, charges can be reduced—or even dismissed—when these issues are properly identified and argued.
Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in Massachusetts
A conviction can impact nearly every aspect of your life:
- Jail or prison time
- Probation and court supervision
- Fines and financial penalties
- Loss of employment opportunities
- Damage to professional licenses
- Immigration consequences for non-citizens
Even a misdemeanor can follow you for years. That is why it is critical to take every charge seriously and build a strong defense from the beginning.
