Driving Crimes in Boston: More Than Just Traffic Violations

Driving-related offenses in Boston often involve aggressive law enforcement—especially near schools, public transportation, construction zones, and nightlife districts.

We defend clients facing charges such as:

• Operating Under the Influence (OUI)
• Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
• Operating After Suspension or Revocation
• Leaving the Scene of Property Damage or Injury
• Unlicensed Operation / No License
• Reckless Driving or Street Racing
• Failure to Stop for Police / Evading Law Enforcement
• Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO) classification

These charges often stem from:

• Accidents or hit-and-runs
• MBTA bus or pedestrian complaints
• DUI patrols near Fenway, the North End, or the Seaport
• Court-ordered license restrictions or suspensions

What You’re Facing if Convicted in Boston

Driving crimes in Boston can lead to:

• Jail time, even on a first offense
• Immediate RMV license suspension
• Points on your driving record
• Criminal CORI record
• Fines, probation, and mandatory classes
• Harder insurance rates or vehicle impoundment

Even charges that seem minor—like driving without a license or negligent operation—can create major long-term issues if not handled properly.

FAQs – Driving Crime Charges in Boston

Will my license be suspended immediately?
It depends on the charge. For OUI, operating after suspension, and leaving the scene, the RMV often issues immediate suspensions. We can help you challenge this or apply for a hardship license.

Can I avoid jail if this is my first offense?
Yes—many Boston courts are open to alternative resolutions, like diversion, CWOF, or pretrial probation. But you’ll need an experienced attorney to negotiate and present your case.

What if I’m not from Boston?
We represent both local residents and out-of-area drivers, including students, rideshare drivers, and tourists. We’ll guide you through the process and help minimize disruption.
