If you are charged with domestic assault and battery, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel immediately. •Drug crimes If you are charged with the trafficking, distribution, or possession of illegal substances, you need an experienced attorney in drug crimes 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 a qualified DUI lawyer on your side is critical. •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. •Larceny crimes Split between petty or grand, larceny is defined as the unlawful taking and carrying away of property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property. Convictions for any larceny crime presents serious consequences for one's future. Hire a criminal defense lawyer to help dismiss, minimize, or reduce the charges. •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.

This charge is often added to other charges but with the help of a qualified attorney these charges can be dropped to lessen the penalties. •Sealing/Expungement of a criminal record Having a criminal record can create a barrier to employment, education, and civic opportunities.

"If you are searching for an attorney, look no further. You have found the best and most responsive attorney in the industry. I as you did, I searched through the internet to find the right person to handle my problem. I sent in a request at 6:00 am on Sunday morning on Labor Day weekend. I received a call back at 7:20 am and set up a meeting for 11:15 am that same day. We met arranged a reasonable rate and proceeded with the remedy to our problem. After the court date everything worked out as good as can be expected and because to John's knowledge, work ethic, and expertise we walked away very happy. You fortunately have been as lucky as I was to find John DeVito. Thanks Rob"

"I hired John when I had an unjust criminal charge lodged against me that was minor, yet could have major consequences for my career. As I didn't have any personal referrals I intended to speak with several attorneys and then decide who to hire; however after speaking with John for a few minutes, I could tell that he knew what he was doing and hired him right away. John got a very good disposition for my case, but what made the difference for me was that I felt very confident that I had hired someone who was experienced, knew the players involved, and told me what to expect. The experience could have been very anxiety-provoking, but wasn't thanks to John's professionalism and skill. I would absolutely recommend John as someone who is very experienced with both the law and the local 'lay of the land'. Thanks to him, the experience was just a bump in the road instead of the major setback it could have been."

"Attorney John DeVito is one of the most professional attorneys that I have encountered. I hired him to represent my brother in a "gun possession" charge. My brother got shot by an individual. While my brother was struggling with the assailant, my brother took the gun away from the assailant to defend his own life. When the police showed up at the scene, my brother was arrested and charged with gun possession The police thought my brother shot himself near his waist/upper thigh area because he had the gun in his waist line. The assailant at the time of the police arrival was unconscious from the struggle with my brother due to my brother struggling for his life/self defense. Attorney DeVito proved with video surveillance from a business and apartment building in the area that the assailant came storming out of the apartment building waving a gun and pointing at my brother. The witnesses did not talk because they did not want to "snitch" so I thank God for Attorney DeVito's legal experience and prompt defense. All charges were dropped against my brother and the assailant was arrested."

"I have nothing but good things to say about Mr. John Devito, Esq. The very fact that I am taking the time to write on Google on his behalf should say enough. But I want to say more. He represented me in a motor vehicle misdemeanor case that was thrown out and, while it was a small issue, his presence in the court room was both extremely professional as well as FAR superior to the other lawyers that represented clients before my case. Mr. Devito is business first, but is also very kind. He has both my sincere gratitude as well as my raving recommendation."
