Criminal Defense
Failure to appear for a scheduled court date in Massachusetts can result in a charge of Contempt of Court. You may have missed a scheduled date to appear in your ongoing criminal matter, or perhaps you missed jury duty. Whatever the reason, a warrant for your arrest will issue. Once there is a warrant for your arrest in Massachusetts, it never just "goes away." The longer it remains active before it is cleared up, the greater likelihood that you will be held on bail, as the judge may perceive you as someone who has no regard for the Massachusetts justice system. There are ways to avoid any further problems, but those ways are unique to each person's situation. Your best option is to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you avoid this and other additional charges by dealing with the warrant in a way that best fits your circumstances.
DUI/DWI
We understand that most drunk driving arrests in Massachusetts occur over the weekend and during non-business hours. For that reason, we are available for an immediate free initial consultation. We encourage you to call our office or fill out the contact for immediately after your release, and we will get back to you ASAP. Even for a first offense OUI charge, showing up to your Monday morning arraignment in court with a lawyer could be the difference between resolving your matter in a timely fashion with your driver's license restored the following week, and having your license suspended for up to one year or longer. If you are facing a more serious motor vehicle charge, or if this is not your first offense, you should absolutely consult with a Massachusetts DUI lawyer prior to your arraignment, as the prosecution may be asking that you be held on a high cash bail, or perhaps even up to 120 days as a threat to the safety of the community. In either case, you have nothing to lose by contacting our office, as our initial consultation is always free and there is no obligation to hire us. We will simply take the time to listen to your situation and provide you with our best advice on how to proceed.
Wrongful Death
If you would like help finding the right Massachusetts attorney for your legal needs, contact my office for a free phone consultation: Urbelis Law, LLC
Traffic Violations
If you have been arrested or summoned to court for a minor motor vehicle offense in Massachusetts, you may be facing collateral consequences from the Registry of Motor Vehicles in addition to whatever criminal or civil penalties from the court. Your insurance may have lapsed, your license or registration might have expired, or there may have been some other innocent mistake on your part landing you in this unfortunate situation. Don’t panic. I have handled hundreds of these cases, and can almost always get them dismissed without a conviction or an increase to your car insurance. If you are given notice of a clerk’s hearing, I may be able to have your case voided and kept out of the criminal system altogether. If you are facing a minor motor vehicle charge, contact my office for your free legal consultation.
Sex Crimes
Assault with Intent to Rape carries up to 20 years in state prison. A subsequent conviction for this offense carries up to life in prison.
Robbery
Mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison if you were wearing a mask or otherwise disguising your features while committing the robbery. A subsequent offense of armed robbery while wearing a mask or otherwise disguising your features carries a
Burglary
* Felonies included in this section are armed burglary, unarmed burglary, breaking and entering, entering without breaking, breaking and entering into a dwelling house, kidnapping, armed robbery, unarmed robbery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon or assault with a dangerous weapon, home invasion, or posing or exhibiting child in state of nudity or sexual conduct.
White Collar Crimes
Misdemeanors
In Massachusetts, if you are charged with the misdemeanor criminal offense of Employing a Person with a Suspended License to Operate a Motor Vehicle, you face a $500 fine. That might not seem like a serious penalty, and in and of itself, you're right. However, there are lifelong collateral consequences that come with any criminal conviction. It could cost you opportunities with employment, housing, benefits, education, licensing, even coaching your kid's little league team (even a dismissed case, in certain situations, may show up on a background check). It is important that you not take any criminal charge lightly- contact a skilled defense attorney to determine how to proceed.
Embezzlement
Embezzlement is a charge that is similar to larceny, but it means that you had legitimate or legal access to the funds or goods that you are now accused of embezzling. The typical case involves an employee or trustee who had access to certain financial accounts, as opposed to a person charged with larceny who never had legal access to the funds or goods in the first place. There are several potential defenses to an embezzlement charge, the most common being that an honest mistake was made. A skilled defense attorney may be able to work out a deal involving the dismissal of all criminal charges in exchange for full restitution of payment to the alleged victim.
Drug Crimes
Drug Possession with intent to distribute: Having illegal narcotics in your possession with the intention of selling those narcotics
Assault
There are many different charges that can arise from acts of violence, or alleged acts of violence; some more serious than others. There are different legal strategies that can be employed based on the specific charges against you and the facts as alleged by the prosecutor. I have had Assault and Battery cases remanded to a clerk's hearing and voided before a criminal complaint even issued. Some cases lack sufficient evidence to proceed to trial without the testimony of the victim, and many of these cases can be dismissed prior to trial. Police often make arrests based on statements made at the scene, but a skilled attorney can often get these statements thrown out at a motion to suppress based on legal grounds, and the case may then get dismissed. Many of these cases, particularly with domestic violence, arise just from the statement of the alleged victim. In some cases, this person may have a grievance against you and just wants to see you punished. If such improper motives have led to criminal charges against you, I will make sure they are brought to light. I will fight with all of my power under the law to preserve your liberty. If the prosecution does have a strong case against you, then I will work to negotiate a deal involving anger management, counseling, community service, or other constructive resolutions to avoid incarceration.
Murder
Homicide

Restraining Order
Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon (ABDW) that either causes serious bodily injury, is upon a child under 14 year old and the perpetrator 17 years old or older, is upon a pregnant woman, or upon a person who has a valid restraining order against the perpetrator, carries the following potential penalties...
Kidnapping
Kidnapping While Armed w/ Dangerous Weapon and Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury carries a minimum mandatory of 25 years in state prison.
Manslaughter
In Massachusetts, if you commit Homicide by Motor Vehicle, you are facing mandatory jail time. This jail time can range from a minimum 30 day minimum sentence up to 2 1/2 years in jail, and $3,000 fine (but, if you are facing OUI- Manslaughter charges, the penalties are much more serious).
Prostitution
This is a common-law offense that was originally intended to prosecute those who maintained houses that perpetuated "crimes against common decency" such as prostitution and illegal gambling. Today, the charge is often brought against a homeowner or tenant as the result of a loud or disruptive party.

Property Damage
Leaving the scene of Property Damage might appear like any other traffic offense to some, but in Massachusetts these cases are taken very seriously. In fact, a conviction for this offense carries an automatic license loss of 60 days up to 1 year with the Massachusetts RMV, as well as the potential for up to 2 years in jail and a $200 fine. For a charge of Leaving the Scene of Personal Injury, the penalties are even more severe.
