Motorcycle Vehicle Crimes in Massachusetts.

Just because you are involved in a traffic offense with a motorcycle does not minimize the exposure.  In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a motor vehicle crime of any kind may be charged as a misdemeanor AND a felony.  That’s right…both!  Now we are talking not only about the suspension of your license, but potential jail time as well.

Once there is a court conviction it is too late to turn back the clock.  The Registry of Motor Vehicles or (RMV) will automatically suspend your driver’s license.  Now you are faced with taking public transportation which may cost you your job and certainly disrupt your family.  The process moves quickly when you are involved in a motorcycle related accident.

Whichever side of the incident you may be on it is imperative to contact an attorney immediately.  Massachusetts motorcycle crime attorney Paul R. Moraski is standing by to hear the particulars of your case.  Whatever else you may think, do not consider this just a misdemeanor until you have talked to Attorney Moraski.  Call him immediately at (978) 744-1200.

What is a Felony in Massachusetts?

By definition a Felony in Massachusetts is a charge that carries a potential penalty of incarceration in a State Prison, as opposed to just Jail, which is often referred to as a House of Correction sentence.  Please note that a crime remaining at the district court level DOES NOT mean that it is only a misdemeanor.  Many people may believe that a case has to have been “bumped” to superior court to be a felony.  That is not necessarily the case.

Let us use larceny as an exception to the rule.  In Massachusetts, a larceny over $250 is considered a felony.  You would think that this automatically carries a five year sentence.  However, more often than not the jurisdiction is confined to district court.  In that particular case the maximum sentence diminishes to two and a half years.

A felony committed anywhere in the Commonwealth can be a very complicated matter.  You need a strong, experienced Boston felony defense attorney to sort it out for you.  That man is attorney Paul R. Moraski.  He has been defending clients against felony and other criminal charges for many years.  Call him today to discuss your case at (978) 744-1200.

To Be or Not to Be Tried in Court.

Before you go to trial in the state of Massachusetts you need the representation of a great Criminal Attorney who has defended the accused in the Commonwealth for many years.  More often than not a prosecutor, a judge, and/or a district attorney want to expedite a criminal case.  They do so by offering a plea deal.

You, the defendant, may well be adamant about your innocence.  If this is the case your attorney will assess your options and the probability of conviction.  Don’t be stubborn!  Listen to the advice of counsel.  Your attorney can look more dispassionately at the situation and offer the right conclusion that may save you years in prison.

And I know this may sound crazy right now, but don’t be a participant in road rage.  You may get caught in holiday traffic.  Turn up the radio and sing your favorite song.  Take a long, slow, deep breath, focus on nature around you.  Eat a snack if you are at a complete stop.  And always stay in your vehicle.

Sex Crimes in Massachusetts.

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts anyone may be charged with a sex crime if they are accused of engaging in a sex act that is considered illegal.  There are many varieties of sex crime such as rape, sexual assault, solicitation, molestation, lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent assault and battery against a child under the age of 14, and many more.

The ruination of one’s life could occur when they are placed on the Sex Offender Registry Board or (SORB).  Massachusetts in particular has a very harsh SORB on which a sex offender’s personal information and photograph are placed on a sex offender website.  In addition, you must always update local law enforcement as to any change of address.

False Accusations.

It happens every day in this country and there is little in life that is more devastating than being falsely accused of a crime.  This is particularly true in the case of sex crimes when a relationship gone bad turns into someone being vindictive.  The major problem with being falsely accused of a sex crime is that it normally comes down to one person’s word against another.

Did you know that in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts a prosecutor will proceed with a sex crime case EVEN in the absence of DNA, video evidence, or any eye-witness testimony?  It often turns out that the accuser was motivated by such things as child custody, financial gain, or some real or imagined vendetta that they have against the accused.

In Massachusetts, your best defense against a false accusation is Attorney Paul Moraski.  Attorney Moraski will turn the tables and conduct a thorough investigation into the accuser’s background.  He finds that more often than not he will unearth evidence of bias or motivation which led to the false accusation.  Call Attorney Paul Moraski today before things escalate at (978) 397-0011.  Don’t just roll over when someone has it in for you!
