Newburyport District Court Criminal Defense Attorney
If you were arrested after a concert in Salisbury Beach, or just as you got off of the MBTA Commuter Rail — coming from North Station, Chelsea, Swampscott, or Hamilton — or even as you were headed for a work-out at Latitude Sports Club, you are facing severe consequences — fines, probation, jail time, and a criminal record left for the public to see for years before you can even think about having your record sealed.
Hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer who knows the Massachusetts legal system and how it is applied in the Newburyport District Court will substantially reduce your risks of a criminal conviction. It'll also give you some piece of mind that everything is being taken care of, and that you have somebody watching your back.

The Types of Criminal Defense Cases We Handle
Drug cases: If you have been arrested on a drug related offense, an attorney who understands how the police and district attorney operate is an invaluable ally. Our attorneys will construct a strong defense designed to challenge the prosecution's case, uncover helpful evidence and expose any improper police procedures.
Drunk Driving, DUI, and OUI charges: It may seem that the most frightening part of an alcohol-related arrest is the possible jail time and stiff fines, but a conviction will affect many areas of your life. You'll probably lose your license, making it harder to work and make money for you and your family. Auto insurance rates will increase, and you may end-up with an ignition interlock devise in your vehicle for years if you are deemed a repeat offender by the RMV.
Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) cases: We handle matters related to registration, insurance and license suspensions, including licenses being taken for having too many offenses on your record.
Assault charges: In domestic disputes or school fights, men and women who were not even responsible for starting the fight could be charged with assault. In Greater Boston for example, cases where you were attacked by another driver with road rage on Route 1, or you were punched by somebody who was drunk in a bar, you may have simply been defending yourself. Since police often arrive after a fight has started or ended, angry spouses, girlfriends, or friends of the same can often convince police officers to arrest you, even though wasn't your fault.
Assault charges are serious. Local prosecutors typically rely heavily on the testimony of witnesses in order to prove its case. Oftentimes, witnesses are agitated, excited, angry or intoxicated. In the hands of a skilled defense attorney, the testimony of these witnesses begins to fall apart. You need a skilled and aggressive criminal attorney for assault cases. Call us – aggressive defense strategies are what we do!
