If you face criminal charges or have been arrested on suspicion of OUI-DUI, you could be facing appearances in multiple venues, depending on your case. At the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group, our lawyers are with you every step of the way, wherever your case is heard. We practice in all courts and appear at all types of hearings throughout Massachusetts, using our knowledge and experience with each court to build winning cases for our clients.
We Know How OUI and Criminal Cases Are Handled in Your Court
Each courthouse in Massachusetts has its own way of doing things. Individual police departments vary in their policies and procedures as well. For example, some videotape the booking process while others do not. There are similar court-specific procedures in every venue in the Commonwealth.

There are 351 cities and towns and 13 counties in the Commonwealth. Our firm assigns each of our Massachusetts DUI attorneys to a specific region and set of courthouses. By working day in and day out in the same places, we develop trusting relationships with judges, prosecutors, probation officers and court staff. Moreover, we know how things work in particular courtrooms and with particular prosecuting agencies. We've learned who to talk to, who has discretion and the most effective ways to get the job done.
Special circumstances call for special legal procedures. Listed below are the types of hearings where we appear on behalf of clients:
A Proactive Approach Makes the Difference
Wherever we appear, we use a proactive strategy. Some DUI defense lawyers take a wait-and-see approach. They stall until the first court date or until they receive the police reports before investigating and working on your case. By contrast, our defense attorneys believe there's no time to waste. The most critical window for defense work may be the first few days following an arrest or even prior to formal charges being filed by the district attorney's office. By getting to work immediately, we can often locate favorable evidence and witnesses. This gives us — and you — a head start.
Investigating Thoroughly Is Key to Winning Your DUI Case
In addition to being highly proactive when defending a client against a DUI charge, our attorneys know how to find weaknesses in the prosecution's case. For example, we know that identifying officer error is the best way to win a Massachusetts OUI case. Police errors can cause even the worst cases to be dropped or reduced to lesser charges. We analyze your case thoroughly to see where the police made critical mistakes. If they did, we argue that anything they found after making that mistake should be suppressed in court.
