When you are charged with a crime, it is important to hire an experienced attorney to fight for your rights.

You need someone advocating for you at each stage of a criminal case, from the clerk’s hearing to trial to ensure the best outcome. The firm handles all misdemeanors and felonies.

When individuals under 18 are charged with a crime in MA, they are prosecuted in the juvenile justice system, which is separate from the adult justice system. If your child has been charged with a juvenile offense in MA, you should retain experienced counsel right away, as the results of the juvenile proceeding can have additional consequences. For example, your child’s school may seek to suspend or expel your child based on a juvenile charge. Children may also be prosecuted at a Youthful Offender, and be subject to state prison time for certain charges.

Your child needs the representation of experienced counsel who knows the juvenile courts. Ashley will fight for your child’s charges to be diverted or dismissed.

Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (OUI, DWI, or DUI) is whenever someone has consumed enough of it to reduce his/her ability to operate a motor vehicle safely by diminishing his/her alertness, judgment, and ability to respond promptly.

Chapter 90 Section 24 of the Massachusetts General Laws prohibits drivers from operating motor vehicles on public roads when they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If individuals charged with OUI have prior convictions for OUI, they may be charged as a subsequent offense and subjected to harsher penalties, including inpatient alcohol treatment and mandatory minimum sentences.

When you or a family member are injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost income, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and loss of quality of life. Your spouse and children may also be entitled to recover for their loss of your companionship and services, as you were able to provide before an accident by bringing a claim with you known as “loss of consortium.”

Ashley has experience working with insurance companies and knows how to build a high-value personal injury case.

Receiving a speeding ticket or other moving or parking violation from a police officer can be frustrating and even degrading. Paying the fine for a violation is not only expensive but can also lead to license suspensions and result in costly insurance surcharges.

The time to fight a ticket is not on the side of the road but at a clerk magistrate’s hearing. Ashley can assist by presenting evidence at the hearing of your innocence, or extenuating circumstances that make the officer’s narrative less credible. Ashley can also present evidence of your favorable driving record and good character to the magistrate in mitigation.

If you learn that you have an active arrest warrant or default warrant in MA, you should never walk into the police station or court without an attorney. Depending on the time of day, the police – or even the court – may not process you until the court is closed, which could result in you being held overnight.
