What Are The Elements Of Appealing A Conviction In Massachusetts?

Do you know what to do if you have been arrested for an OUI in Massachusetts? Once you have been pulled over, and if you submitted to and failed the breathalyzer test, the next place you'll find yourself is in police custody. In the instance that you refused the breathalyzer test, you will still be arrested and only have 15 days from the date of the arrest to file an appeal. It's imperative that an appeal is filed, otherwise your license is suspended automatically.

Regardless of which actions were taken, next steps are important. Contact an attorney immediately, otherwise you risk losing driving privileges for an extended period of time, serving jail time, paying increased fines, and having this mark your driving record.

If you have been arrested for OUI in Massachusetts, contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for a consultation.

Don’t Expect Prosecuting Attorneys To Treat You Any More Than Just A Number

This blog is committed to keeping you abreast of the ever changing laws and legal system. As we've stated in previous blogs, never go it alone. When they say justice is blind, they really mean it. She has a blindfold on and literally cannot see how innocent you are. That's where we come in.

When facing criminal charges, it is the prosecution's goal to see to it that you are punished to the fullest extent of the law. Why? Because they don't measure their successes on humans whose live's have been unfairly destroyed, they focus on convictions and convictions only. Meanwhile, what they regard as case #XYZ, you regard as your Father or Uncle or Brother or Nephew, etc. They are due more justice than just a number. This disproportionate amount of convictions among young males of color is astronomical. One doesn't have to look any further than the evening news or the front page of any major paper to see this reality played out again and again.

Don't sit around hoping for the laws to change. Lawyer up. Defense attorneys are here to see that ALL of your rights are in tact and that you get a fair and speedy trial. If we weren't there, you would get a speedy trial alright, straight to conviction.

Sentence reform is long overdue. But as we stated, don't wait for change to come, come to us. Contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for a consultation if you have been charged with a crime.
