Services
OUI DUI Defense
Our OUI/DUI defense practice handles first-time and repeat offenses with blood alcohol concentration violations or impairment allegations. We challenge field sobriety test validity, breathalyzer accuracy, and police procedure compliance. With Massachusetts' strict penalties including license revocation and mandatory minimum sentences, our strategic defense focuses on minimizing consequences through evidence suppression, charge reduction, or trial acquittal.
Drug Crimes
We defend against drug-related charges ranging from simple possession to trafficking and distribution allegations. Our approach examines search and seizure legality, chain of custody issues, and forensic testing procedures. Whether challenging drug identification methods or negotiating alternative sentencing options, we protect clients facing both misdemeanor and felony drug charges in state and federal courts.
Violent Crimes
Our violent crime defense covers assault and battery, domestic violence, and serious offenses like strangulation or attempted murder. We investigate incident circumstances, challenge witness credibility, and address self-defense claims. With potential consequences including lengthy incarceration, our defense strategy focuses on disproving elements of the crime or mitigating sentencing through alternative resolution pathways.
Domestic Violence
We handle domestic violence cases involving protective orders, assault allegations, and related criminal charges. Our defense addresses both criminal court proceedings and family court implications, working to protect clients' rights while minimizing personal and professional consequences through evidence challenges and strategic plea negotiations.
Sex Crimes
Our sex crime defense covers charges ranging from indecent exposure to rape and child pornography allegations. We challenge evidence collection methods, address false accusations, and protect clients' constitutional rights throughout the legal process. With mandatory sex offender registration requirements, our defense focuses on preventing convictions or minimizing long-term consequences through trial or negotiated resolutions.
