Our Services
Attorney Patrick Conway handles all manner of criminal cases in the District, Boston Municipal, and Superior Courts.
OUI
Operating Under the Influence, or OUI is the crime commonly known as drunk driving. Sometimes called DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence) in other states, these are all the same crime.
Drug Charges
Some of the most common charges that we see in Massachusetts courts are drug offenses. There are several different classes of drugs, which each come with their own penalties.
Violent Crime
There are many different crimes against people that the district attorney will classify as “violent” or “assaultive.” These crimes will range in seriousness based on the facts and circumstances and the charges themselves. Some are misdemeanors, while others are felonies.
Firearm Charges
Massachusetts has strict laws about possessing firearms. You must be properly licensed to carry a gun. Even if you have a license, there may be restrictions on what types of guns you can own, or how you can carry them.
Probation Violations
One common way that a criminal case is resolved is by admitting to the offense and getting placed on probation. A person on probation has the opportunity to avoid jail time, by staying out of trouble and abiding by a series of conditions that are imposed by a judge.
Domestic Violence
Massachusetts has a specific law for Assault and Battery on a Family or household Member, which is described in Chapter 265 §13M of the Massachusetts General Laws. The elements of the offense are the same as a typical assault and battery, with the added relationship requirement.
