Criminal Defense
Spring & Spring provides comprehensive criminal defense representation for charges ranging from misdemeanors to capital felonies. Our former prosecutor's insight enables strategic case analysis and trial preparation. We handle all stages from pre-trial motions to appellate proceedings, focusing on complete case dismissal or acquittal. Clients receive direct attorney communication and personalized defense strategies tailored to their specific circumstances and potential long-term consequences.
OUI Defense
Specialized defense for operating under the influence charges involves challenging chemical test validity and procedural compliance. We examine breathalyzer calibration records, field sobriety test administration, and police protocol adherence. Our approach combines technical analysis with courtroom experience to suppress evidence or negotiate reduced penalties while protecting driving privileges and minimizing criminal consequences.
Sex Offenses
We defend against all sex crime allegations including registration requirements and mandatory minimum sentences. Our strategy challenges evidence credibility, examines digital forensics, and addresses false accusations. We protect clients from lifelong registration consequences through trial advocacy and plea negotiation while addressing collateral impacts on employment and personal relationships.
Gun Crimes
Our defense addresses Massachusetts' strict firearms laws including possession, trafficking, and enhancement charges. We challenge search and seizure legality, examine weapon classification issues, and address permit validity. We protect clients from mandatory minimum sentences through evidentiary challenges and statutory interpretation while considering rehabilitation and second amendment rights.
Drug Charges
We defend against all drug-related charges from possession to trafficking, challenging search warrants and chain of custody issues. Our approach includes forensic testing challenges, prescription defense, and quantity disputes. We address school zone enhancements and mandatory minimums while seeking treatment alternatives and record sealing opportunities for first-time offenders.
