Frequently asked questions
Is a Boston criminal lawyer search the same as a Massachusetts criminal lawyer search?
Boston is one city in Massachusetts. Cases elsewhere in Massachusetts may involve different courts and locations, so tell us the actual court; a statewide case cannot simply be treated as a Boston case.
Are Massachusetts OUI and the DUI or DWI terms seen online interchangeable?
The official Massachusetts term is OUI. Names, rules and license procedures differ by state, so give us the charge exactly as it appears on your Massachusetts papers.
If the notice says arraignment, does that mean a trial has been scheduled?
No. An arraignment is a different step from trial. Keep the date and requirements on the notice so an attorney can explain what that court expects you to prepare.
Can an attorney with New York experience handle my Boston state-court case directly?
That has to be confirmed separately. The attorney's Massachusetts admission and court eligibility, the scope of representation, and whether local counsel is needed should be clear before you engage anyone.
