NOT GUILTY in Multiple Attempted Murder Case for Criminal Defense

In May 2018, the Law Office of Matthew Peterson achieved a significant victory by securing a NOT GUILTY in Multiple Attempted Murder Cases for a client facing severe charges, including four counts of attempted murder and multiple firearm-related offenses. If convicted, this individual risked spending the rest of their life behind bars.

What Can Be Impacted by a Criminal Conviction?

Voting Rights

In Massachusetts, individuals incarcerated for a felony lose their right to vote but regain it upon release.

Employment Opportunities

A felony conviction can disqualify you from obtaining certain professional licenses and limit your employment options, especially in law enforcement. Furthermore, you will be required to disclose your conviction on future job applications.

Federal Benefits

Convictions related to drug offenses may render you ineligible for federal student loans and food assistance programs.

Driver’s License

Convictions for operating under the influence (OUI) can result in the suspension or permanent revocation of your driver’s license, similar to consequences from specific drug-related charges.

Gun Ownership Rights

Under both federal and Massachusetts law, felony convictions and many domestic violence offenses disqualify individuals from legally possessing firearms. Even misdemeanor convictions can severely impact your ability to obtain or maintain a gun license.

Child Custody Issues

Any criminal conviction, including misdemeanors, can adversely affect your child custody rights, particularly if the conviction involves domestic violence or assault. If you find yourself falsely accused of such charges, it is crucial to engage a skilled Boston criminal defense attorney to safeguard your familial rights.

Immigration Status

For non-U.S. citizens, a criminal conviction can lead to deportation or complications in obtaining a Green Card or adjustment of status. If you are facing charges and are not a U.S. citizen, it is imperative to work with a Boston immigration attorney who understands both criminal and immigration law.

The Case Overview

The case revolved around our client being accused of acting as the getaway driver for his brother, who had fired shots at individuals on their porches. Our defense strategy focused on misidentification, asserting that the witnesses could not accurately identify the driver, thereby undermining the prosecution’s claims.
