Massachusetts criminal defense laws
Every state has different criminal laws and penalties. Here's what you need to know about defending charges in Massachusetts.
DUI / DWI Laws
Up to 2.5 years jail, $500-$5,000 fine, 1-year license suspension
60 days to 2.5 years jail (30-day mandatory minimum), $600-$10,000 fine, 2-year license suspension
Massachusetts uses "OUI" (Operating Under the Influence). CWOF (Continuance Without a Finding) is available for first offense — not technically a conviction but counts as a prior and may affect immigration.
Drug Laws
Legal for adults 21+ (up to 1 oz on person, 10 oz at home). Under 21: civil penalty ($100 fine).
Massachusetts eliminated mandatory minimums for drug offenses in 2012.
Assault & Self-Defense
Misdemeanor (assault and battery) — up to 2.5 years jail, $1,000 fine
Felony (assault and battery with dangerous weapon) — up to 10 years state prison
Massachusetts requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force, except in your home (Castle Doctrine). Non-deadly force may be used without retreating.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
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.
