DUI/DWI
Everyone knows that drinking and driving can be dangerous and costly. You have probably heard someone's story about their drunk driving arrest. But what happens if you are arrested and charged? Should you take the breath test? If you've only had one or two drinks, should you tell the officer? Should you quickly plead before trial, and try to get your license back? Should you fight the charge? Will you go to jail?
Wrongful Death
When a medical professional makes an error, it is more than a violation of trust. It can leave the patient with serious and life-changing injuries or result in wrongful death.
Traffic Violations
Whenever someone is injured in an accident, the injured party has the right to hold the parties at fault accountable. This helps victims of motorcycle accidents and other kinds of auto accidents. In order to receive compensation, the victim must prove that the other driver was liable for damages. In order to prove another driver is at fault for the motorcycle crash, the injured party must prove four elements of “negligence”. First, they must prove that the defendant owed a duty to the victim. Second, they must prove that the defendant did not fulfill this duty. Third, they must prove that the plaintiff's injuries were caused by the driver’s breach of duty. Finally, they must prove that the victim suffered losses due to the injuries from the accident. By using these guidelines to prove “negligence”, the injured party does not need to show that the driver intended to cause the crash. They only need to prove that the driver made a mistake behind the wheel, such as speeding, not looking at the road, arguing with a passenger, texting, failing to signal, etc. In most cases, the driver will try to claim that the injured party also played a role in the accident, and that the driver is not the only one at fault. Defendants might try to claim that the injuries are your own fault. In the face of these claims, it is important to have an experienced attorney on your side. If the defendant can prove that you made mistakes while operating your motorcycle, or that you violated any traffic laws, the court may find you partially at fault. If you are deemed partly at fault, that will reduce the amount of compensation you can receive. Our Boston motorcycle accident attorneys can fight on your behalf, in order to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
Sex Crimes
Middlesex Superior Court – our client denied the allegations brought by the complaining witness and maintained innocence throughout the case. The case was tried before a 12-person jury over the course of one week. At the end of the trial, the jury found our client not guilty, despite testimony by multiple witnesses.
White Collar Crimes
As a former prosecutor in Massachusetts, Atty. Molloy brings a valuable and unique perspective of understanding the legal process from the opposing side as a prosecutor in the Criminal Bureau of the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office. Attorney Molloy prosecuted white-collar crimes throughout the Commonwealth and was Chief of the Environmental Crimes Strike Force Division.
Theft
Misdemeanors
All crimes need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Crimes are divided into felonies and misdemeanors, with felonies being more serious. Whenever the penalties for a crime include a possible state prison sentence, it is considered a felony in Massachusetts. Even first offenders can receive harsh penalties. Our criminal defense lawyers have defended many different types of charges, including OUI, drug crimes, sex crimes, motor vehicle crimes, firearms and weapons crimes, and theft crimes. OUI
Embezzlement
Secured impressive settlement for client in a Boston civil embezzlement action with an evasive defendant and over $100,000.00 in unaccounted funds. Despite the destruction of many documents, our civil litigation attorneys launched a meticulous investigation and case review, dedicating hours to investigating, cross-checking, and managing thousands of financial papers and checks. The firm also considered writing exemplars and forensic expert analysis to bolster the client's case.
Drug Crimes
Federal Court (District of New York) – our client was indicted on multiple federal drug charges and conspiracy, and faced substantial federal prison time. Ultimately, we were able to secure a full dismissal of all charges prior to any trial. Our client was never found guilty of anything and never sentenced to federal prison.
Assault
Middlesex County (Woburn District Court) – A family dispute between mother and son initiated court proceedings alleging Assault & Battery. Despite prosecutors' initial desire to charge and convict the teenaged son, counsel negotiated an Agreement in which the teenager was never even charged, a result that was fully supported by the teen's mother.
Murder
Suffolk Superior Court – after successfully obtaining a reduction from first-degree murder second-degree murder before the trial began, we successfully exonerated our client at a five-day Suffolk Superior Court trial with over one dozen witnesses.
Homicide
Quincy District Court - After a tragic accident on a narrow south-shore street in which our client was accused of negligently operating a motor vehicle causing the death of a pedestrian, police sought to issue a Complaint for vehicular homicide. Following a full evidentiary hearing that included eyewitness accounts and testimony from crash reconstruction experts for both prosecutors and for the defense, the Court accepted our client's account of the incident and refused to issues charges.
Restraining Order
Middlesex County (Woburn District Court) - While our client maintained that she had done nothing to intimidate or threaten her husband, he sought a restraining order nonetheless. We requested a full hearing and cross-examined the husband, and elicited testimony that showed an ulterior motive likely related to a divorce proceeding. Needless to say, the Court declined to extend the Order against our client.
Kidnapping
Middlesex Superior Court – this case involved false accusations against our client, a local official. The complaining witness refused to answer certain questions during the pretrial phase of the case concerning past false accusations. Because she refused the answer, the Judge dismissed the case.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Estate planning is commonly portrayed as a necessity for older individuals with large and complex estates. It is a fact, however, that an up-to-date, well-drafted estate plan is a basic necessity for everybody, at every age, no matter the size of your estate. Otherwise, probate issues and tax consequences can create a nightmare situation for your heirs after your death. Don't face the probate system alone, which can be riddled with legal nuances, requirements, and particularities.
Wills
Most people benefit from a well-considered estate plan. Careful estate planning can allow for your wishes for your property and other matters to be carried out when you pass away, or if you become incapacitated. Often, it allows people to address probate issues and tax consequences to make things easier for their heirs. A last will and testament is often a critical aspect of estate planning. If you pass away without a valid will, your property will be distributed according to intestacy laws. These may not reflect how you would prefer your property to be distributed. Family Law
