Sealing available for most offenses after waiting period (3 years misdemeanor, 7 years felony). True expungement limited to specific categories.
Immigration Consequences
Boston has a growing Arab American community. Massachusetts has strong sanctuary policies — state law prohibits inquiring about immigration status. CWOF for first OUI may be treated as a conviction under immigration law — careful analysis required.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
