Your Fourth Amendment Constitutional right against unlawful searches and seizures may have been violated and a Motion to Suppress such evidence, if allowed, would prevent the Commonwealth from introducing such evidence at trial.
Your Fifth Amendment Consitutional Right against self-incrimination may have been violated and again the Motion to Suppress, if allowed, would prevent the Commonwealth from using such statements against you.
Art. 12 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights affords you even greater protection from criminal prosecution than the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination of the U.S. Constitution:
Article XII. No subject shall be held to answer for any crimes or offence, until the same is fully and plainly, substantially and formally, described to him; or be compelled to accuse, or furnish evidence against himself. And every subject shall have a right to produce all proofs, that may be favorable to him; to meet the witnesses against him face to face, and to be fully heard in his defence by himself, or his council at his election. And no subject shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled, or deprived of his property, immunities, or privileges, put out of the protection of the law, exiled, or deprived of his life, liberty, or estate, but by the judgment of his peers, or the law of the land.
Art. 14 of the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights grants you greater protection than the U.S. Constitution 4th Amendment right against unlawful searches and seizures :
Article XIV. Every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches, and seizures, of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his possessions. All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation; and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer, to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more suspected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designation of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure: and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases, and with the formalities prescribed by the laws.

If you've been charged with OUI , violations of the Controlled Substances Act or any type of theft crime: call me today & set up an appointment for a free consultation. I'll read the police report and give you a straight-forward opinion as to the likeliehood of your case being successfully tried before a judge or jury, or an alternative disposition that you can live with.
I look forward to working hard to defend you and provide you with a savvy criminal defense!
OUI is a serious criminal offense and can result in license suspensions, fines, insurance surcharges and possibly time in jail. Guilty pleas are not always the way to go! You need an attorney to spot all possible legal defenses available to you.
DRUG OFFENSES can have extreme consequences including loss of license and jail. A zealous and savvy legal defense may help you to avoid such disastrous consequences.
THEFT, IDENTITY THEFT, FRAUD, SHOPLIFTING and LARCENY are offenses that all carry stiff fines and jail sentences. Don’t risk facing such hefty legal consequences without criminal defense counsel.
