Massachusetts motor vehicle crimes are either civil or criminal. A civil motor vehicle offense may result in a fine, increased insurance costs, and possibly loss of your driver’s license. In contrast, a criminal motor vehicle offense may result in loss of your license, probation, fines, fees, and possibly jail time. Attorney Patrick Donovan has handled many motor vehicle cases, both civil and criminal, and is often able to keep clients out of jail and back on the road.
When you receive a citation for any type of infraction in Massachusetts, it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible. If the police hand you a citation, you may still be able to keep the offense off your criminal record, but you have to act within four days. An attorney can explain how to keep a Massachusetts motor vehicle crime off your record.
