DUI/DWI
For many reasons, it is my professional opinion that a person who is under arrest for operating under the influence (OUI/DUI) in Massachusetts should not submit to a breathalyzer test. The breathalyzer test results is evidence which you are providing against yourself and helping the government prove their case against you. This results in additional costs to you both in legal fees for additional motions which your attorney will have to file in your defense as well as cost associated expert witness to challenge the accuracy of the breathalyzer test resuls and testimony of the police officer.
Sex Crimes
Crimes of moral turpitude are the second category of crimes that can impact a non-citizen’s ability to remain in the United States. Federal circuit court decisions and the Board of Immigration Appeals define these crimes. Generally, a crime of moral turpitude is defined as a crime that encompasses a base or vile act. Although the case law interpreting the term is not entirely uniform, the following types of crimes have been held to involve moral turpitude:(a) crimes (felonies or misdemeanors) in which either an intent to defraud or an intent to steal is an element; (b) crimes (felonies or misdemeanors) in which there is an element of intentional or reckless infliction of harm to persons or property;(c) felonies, (d) and some misdemeanors, in which malice is an element; (e) sex offenses, in which some “lewd” intent is an element.
Robbery
Thus, murder, rape, voluntary manslaughter, robbery, burglary, theft, arson, aggravated forms of assault, forgery, prostitution and shoplifting have all been consistently held to involve moral turpitude.
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
There are severe immigration consequences that result from criminal convictions. In fact, the immigration consequences in many instances may be more serious than the criminal consequences. A criminal conviction, even for a minor misdemeanor or infraction, can result in the following: (a) deportation and exclusion from the United States (b) denial of naturalization (c) ineligibility for various immigration benefits or relief from removal permanently barring an individual from lawfully returning to the United States.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Don’t make the mistake of believing that drug charges should not be taken seriously. For those who are immigrants, whether legal or illegal, a drug conviction can have severe adverse effects on your immigration status and even result in permanent deportation from the United States. Depending on the type of drug charge, and drug type that you are found with, you may be subject to penalties such as fines, mandatory drug treatment programs, probation, jail, and driver’s license suspension.
Assault
Or someone has committed against you at least once an act that violates any of the following statutes: General Laws chapter 265, §§ 13B, 13F or 13H (indecent assault and battery), 22 or 22A (rape), 23 (statutory rape), 24 or 24B (assault with intent to rape), 26C (enticing a child), 43 (criminal stalking), 43A (criminal harassment), or chapter 272, § 3 (drugging for sexual intercourse);
Murder
Probation Violation
Unlike a guilty plea, a continuance without a finding (CWOF) is not considered a conviction (except for immigration purposes). Therefore if you are asked you if you “Have ever been convicted of a crime?”, the truthful answer is no. A plead to a CWOF means that you agree that there are sufficient facts to establish your guilt. However, it also will absolutely count as a prior offense or probation violation if you get in trouble with the law again.
Homicide
Arson
Shoplifting
(6) Any person who intentionally removes a shopping cart from the premises of a store or other retail mercantile establishment, without the consent of the merchant given at the time of such removal, with the intention of permanently depriving the merchant of the possession, use or benefit of such cart; is guilty of shoplifting.
Restraining Order
Forgery
Kidnapping
Manslaughter
Prostitution
Extortion

Property Damage
Motor vehicle offenses often result in fines or driver’s license penalties. However, in cases involving serious motor vehicle offenses, a conviction can result in far more severe consequences, including: jail time, large fines, community service, probation, and driver’s license suspension. Additionally, charges and sentencing can be enhanced if the person has been convicted of prior motor vehicle offenses, if the person caused bodily harm to another person, or if the person caused extensive property damage.
