Common Questions About Criminal Defense

What Should I Do After an Arrest?

Law enforcement and prosecutors are notorious for accusing people of crimes they did not commit. While you are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, the truth is that unless you can exonerate yourself of the charges and fight for a better outcome, you could face serious consequences. If you have been arrested you should call our defense attorney as soon as possible.

What Should I Do If I’m Pulled Over for OUI in Massachusetts?
  • Do not admit anything to the police, media, or anyone else about the incident.
  • Do not submit to field sobriety or breathalyzer tests.
  • Do not try and talk your way out of the arrest.
  • Do contact our experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.
