Ma*****na is legal in Massachusetts. But operating under the influence of ma*****na is still a crime, and it is completely different from alcohol OUI.

There is NO breathalyzer for THC. No number the prosecutor can point to. Police rely entirely on field sobriety assessments and drug recognition evaluations.

In Commonwealth v. Gerhardt, the SJC held field sobriety results are admissible for ma*****na OUI, but they show coordination, not impairment per se.

Drug Recognition Evaluators conduct 12-step evaluations that are highly subjective and are frequently successfully challenged by skilled defense attorneys.

An OUI ma*****na case requires an attorney who understands the specific science. Call me. This is not like any other OUI case.

If you or someone you know was just arrested in Massachusetts, here is exactly what to do in the next 24 hours. Save this video right now.

ONE: Say nothing to police. Not your name, not an explanation, nothing beyond requesting a lawyer. Silence is not evidence of guilt.

TWO: Call a criminal defense attorney immediately. Not tomorrow. The first hours determine what options remain available to you.

THREE: Post nothing on social media. No I'm fine. No venting. Prosecutors look. Defense attorneys look. Complete online silence.

FOUR: Write down everything you remember — for your attorney only. FIVE: Tell your attorney the complete truth. We cannot help you with facts we don't know.

I want to give you the honest answer on this because you deserve it. Public defenders in Massachusetts are often talented, dedicated attorneys.

But here's the reality: the average public defender in Massachusetts carries between 150 and 300 active cases simultaneously.

When you hire a private criminal defense attorney, you're buying one specific thing: time. Time to read every page. Time to file the right motions. Time to call you back.

For someone with a career, a family, a professional reputation — the difference between a conviction and a dismissal can be one procedural defect I catch, one motion I win, or one case I take all the way to trial.

I'm not telling you what to do. I'm telling you what the actual difference is. That decision is yours to make.

If you're under investigation for an internet-based s*x offense in Massachusetts, the single most important question is which court you end up in. State or federal changes everything.

These cases can be brought in state court, federal court, or both at the same time. Most people don't find out which until it's already too late to shape it.

The federal system is a different world: mandatory minimum sentences, far less negotiating room, and a U.S. Attorney's Office that prosecutes these cases aggressively.

Almost all of these cases begin as an investigation — often months before any charge. What happens during that window frequently determines the entire outcome.

If agents have contacted you, or you believe a search warrant is coming, that is the moment to call a lawyer. Not after.

Your child was just arrested. You got the call. You don't know what to do. Here's what matters most in the next hour.

First: Your child must not speak to police without a lawyer present. Not to explain themselves. Not to cooperate. Absolutely nothing.

Second: The juvenile justice system in Massachusetts is DIFFERENT from adult court. The rules, the process, the outcomes — all fundamentally different.

Third: Depending on the charge and your child's age, this could stay in juvenile court — or be prosecuted as a youthful offender with adult consequences.

I handle juvenile cases across Plymouth, Norfolk, Barnstable and Nantucket counties. Call me tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight.

Indecent assault and battery is one of the most misunderstood charges in Massachusetts, and one of the most permanently life-altering.

Under MGL c. 265 section 13H: intentional and unjustified touching of another in an indecent manner. Can be misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances.

Even a misdemeanor conviction can trigger S*x Offender Registry Board classification: Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 which is posted on the internet.

This charge affects employment, housing, professional licenses, and your ability to be near certain people or places, potentially for the rest of your life.

If you are facing this charge or being investigated, the time to act is before the complaint issues, not after arraignment. Call me now.

You're worried about court. You should also be thinking about CORI checks, which refer to your Criminal Offender Record Information.

A conviction can appear on a CORI check for years. Even a dismissed case may appear depending on when and how it was filed.

A sealed record generally does NOT appear on most employer CORI checks. The outcome of your case determines what future employers see.

Healthcare, education, financial services, professional licenses — those employers have access to more detailed records and different reporting obligations.

This is why the legal outcome isn't just about the case in front of you. It's about the career you get to have for the next thirty years.

Tim Ferriss has an exercise called fear-setting. Define your fear in explicit detail.

Ask: what is the absolute worst that could happen?
Then: how would I recover from that?

I use this framework with every new client. Because fear, not the charge itself, is usually driving the worst decisions people make after an arrest.

The worst case for a first-offense OUI in Massachusetts is not what your mind is telling you at midnight. The realistic range of outcomes is much narrower.

When you name the fear specifically and map out recovery from it, it becomes manageable. Manageable means you can make good decisions.

The charge is the obstacle. The obstacle is the way through. The next step is one phone call. That's it.

Your arraignment is your first court appearance, and if you were held after arrest, it happens fast: the same day or the next business day. Here's exactly what to expect.

Charges are read. You enter a plea, almost always "not guilty" regardless of the facts. This is standard strategy, not an admission of anything.

Bail gets addressed. Your attorney argues for release on personal recognizance; you promise to appear, no money required.

You get your next court date (usually a pretrial conference a month or two out) and you leave. The whole thing can take fifteen minutes.

But those fifteen minutes (what conditions get imposed, what arguments get made) shape the next year of your life. Never show up without a lawyer.

You got a citation in Massachusetts. It looks like a ticket. Before you pay it, sign it, or ignore it, watch this entire video right now.

Some Massachusetts citations are civil motor vehicle infractions. Pay the fine and it's done. But some citations are criminal complaints in disguise.

If your citation involves a criminal motor vehicle offense like an OUI, reckless driving, operating after suspension — paying it may mean a guilty finding on your permanent criminal record.

Most people have no idea this distinction exists. They pay the ticket thinking it's like a parking fine. It is not.

Look at your citation carefully. If it references a criminal offense, do not pay it and do not ignore it. Call me first. You may have four days.
