Brockton Criminal Lawyer – Framingham Criminal Defense Attorney

DUI, OUI, Drunk Driving, OUI Drugs

An arrest and subsequent prosecution for an OUI/DUI in Massachusetts, especially for a person with no prior criminal record, can present an extremely stressful and unsettling situation. This situation is further exacerbated by the fact that most prosecutor’s offices in Massachusetts take a rather aggressive stance on DUI cases and plea bargaining is almost non-existent when it comes to drunk/drugged driving cases. A conviction for an OUI in Massachusetts will likely lead to a number of collateral consequences which include the loss of the person’s driver’s license or driving privileges (for out-of-state offenders); numerous fines and fees, and, most devastatingly, a criminal conviction. If you have been charged with an OUI/DUI you should consult an experienced Drunk/Drugged Driving defense attorney Sergey Mikhlin.

Drug Crimes

With the recent escalation of an opioid epidemic in the United States, in general, and in Massachusetts, in particular, most District Attorney’s Offices in the Commonwealth devote special attention and resources to prosecuting people charged with drug crimes, ranging from simple possession of a controlled substance to possession with intent to distribute, distribution and trafficking. While he was a prosecutor at the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, attorney Mikhlin was responsible for screening and grand jury assessment of all drug cases that came though Brockton District Court. As a defense attorney, Sergey Mikhlin has been utilizing this invaluable experience in helping his clients fight the charges involving drug possession and drug distribution. He has successfully challenged the validity of automobile stops and the sufficiency of search warrants, the two most common investigatory elements in most drug cases. If you have been charged or are being investigated for any drug crime in Middlesex, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk or Worcester Counties, contact Drug Defense Lawyer Sergey Mikhlin for a free evaluation of your case.

Cases

Assault and Battery

A simple telephone call to the police, accusing a person of an assault and battery, especially in the context of domestic violence, will almost always lead to an immediate arrest. In Massachusetts, the crime of assault and battery requires proof that the accused: (1) committed an intentional or reckless touching of another person, however slight; and (2) that touching was either likely to cause bodily harm or was offensive and done without the victim’s consent. The crime of assault and battery can take on a more aggravating form with harsher potential penalties if, for instance, it involves a “special victim,” such as a pregnant woman or police officer, or if a weapon or some other dangerous instrument was used during the commission of the crime. If you have been charged or are being investigated for the crime of assault and battery, you should contact Framingham and Brockton criminal defense lawyer Sergey Mikhlin for an immediate evaluation of your situation.

Cases

Clerk-Magistrate Hearings

In Massachusetts, very often a person who is being accused of committing a crime has not been arrested for it. Instead, he or she receives a Summons (or Notice) to appear for what is known as a “Clerk-Magistrate’s Hearing” or “Show-Cause Hearing.” This Notice advises the accused that an Application for Criminal Complaint against him/her has been filed in a certain district court. It also informs the accused that the court will hold a “hearing by a Magistrate” about these accusations to determine whether it will initiate criminal proceedings against the accused. It also advises him/her of the date of the hearing and the right to appear and be heard at this hearing. Additionally, it warns the recipient of the Summons that if they do not appear at the Clerk’s hearing, a criminal complaint may issue in their absence.

Sex Crimes and Sexual Assault Defense

Nothing draws more public and media attention than cases involving allegations of sexual abuse or sexual assault. As a result, most prosecutor’s offices take a very aggressive position regarding plea bargaining in this type of cases. In any sex crime prosecution, the potential consequences faced by the accused could be outright devastating. Most convictions for crimes of sexual nature are subject to lengthy prison sentences, including mandatory minimum sentences. In many cases, if convicted, the defendant will be classified as a sex offender and will be required to register as such. In addition, a person convicted, or even accused, of committing a sex crime or sexual assault faces unavoidable damage to his/her reputation, employment, schooling, social activities, etc. If you have been charged with or are being investigated for a sex crime or sexual assault, contact experienced Framingham criminal defense attorney Sergey Mikhlin.
