Boston criminal defense
A former Norfolk County Assistant District Attorney, Mr. DeVito is familiar with the local practices, courts, and judges in every town east of Worcester. Now a Boston criminal lawyer, Mr. DeVito represents defendants in the following criminal matters:
- Drug crimes
If you are charged with the trafficking, distribution, or possession of illegal substances, you need an experienced Boston drug crime attorney to represent you. In Massachusetts, convictions for drug crimes carry heavy penalties. Seeking guidance from a drug crime lawyer is imperative to winning your case. - DUI/OUI/DWI
If one is operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher in Massachusetts that person is presumed to be under the influence of alcohol. Even your first conviction can result in a jail sentence, a suspended license, and hefty fines. To minimize the penalties, having one or more qualified Boston drug crime attorneys/DUI lawyers on your side is critical. - Motor vehicle crimes
Motor vehicle crimes such as operating negligently, motor vehicle homicide, or driving while unregistered or uninsured can all lead to expensive fines or license suspension. If you are charged with a motor vehicle crime, you need an experienced attorney to help protect your rights. - Domestic assault and battery/Assault and battery
Assault and battery cases are often complex. If you are charged with domestic assault and battery, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel immediately. - Felonies and misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are punishable by confinement to local Jail or House of Correction and a fine. Felonies may be punishable by death or incarceration in a state or federal prison. As a defendant, you need a qualified criminal lawyer to help ensure you receive a fair trial. - Sealing/Expungement of a criminal record
Having a criminal record can create a barrier to employment, education, and civic opportunities. Sealing your record can protect you against the impediments your record may cause. A qualified criminal attorney can help you through the complicated sealing/expungement process. - Registry of motor vehicles
If your motor vehicle license has been suspended or if you face a possible suspension, a qualified attorney can help assess your case and protect your rights.
