Crimes That We Defend

No matter what charges you are facing, we are determined to seek the best possible outcome for your case.

Operating Under the Influence (OUI)

As common as it may seem, an OUI can lead to the loss of your basic rights like driving a car. The more convictions you have, the harsher the punishments can be. A first-time conviction alone can result in up to 2 years of imprisonment, a fine ranging from $500 - $5,000, and losing your license for up to 90 days. The penalties get much more severe after that. You should not take any risk when dealing with an OUI charge. Get in contact with our criminal defense attorneys today and we will get started on building your defense.

Violent Crimes

Assault & Battery

Often confused with each other or morphed into a single crime, Massachusetts defines assault as the attempt or intent of using force against someone. Assault and battery are defined as intentionally making contact with someone in a way that is likely to cause physical harm. A conviction of either of these crimes can mean that you are sentenced to a lengthy period of time in a house of corrections. Violent crime convictions often make it difficult to obtain employment, housing, or other rights. If you are facing any assault and battery charges, reach out to our criminal defense attorneys at Coastal Legal Affiliates, P.C in Fall River today and schedule your consultation.

Sexual Assault & Rape

Sex crimes, such as sexual assault and rape, are often considered some of the most deplorable crimes to be accused of. Being convicted of these crimes can land you anywhere from 2 to 20 years in jail or prison. Along with a lengthy sentence behind bars, you could also have to register as a sex offender for the remainder of your life and have a very strict probation period that involves GPS monitoring, fines, and other regulations. Do not let these terrible accusations ruin the rest of your life. Fight back today and contact our criminal defense attorneys. We are dedicated to serving the areas of Fall River, Bristol County, Plymouth County, Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, and Wareham, Massachusetts.

Theft

Depending on the severity of the charges, theft crime convictions can have a wide selection of sentencing options. Ranging from petty theft to armed robbery or burglary, the harsher the crime, the harsher the punishment. Some punishments can be anywhere from 2 to 5 years in jail or prison with an additional fee ranging from $1,000 - $50,000. For serious felonies, like armed robbery or burglary, you could be facing anywhere from a minimum of 5 years in prison to life imprisonment.
