Leading Criminal Defense Lawyers Massachusetts
Mike Murray Recent Client Results:
Last week on Friday, 17 April 2026, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2562 CR 2358, after trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) after being stopped at a Massachusetts State Police Sobriety Checkpoint Saturation Initiative (Roadblock)*.
I am never surprised, but am still impressed and grateful for the honesty, integrity and professionalism shown by the Massachusetts State Police and other Law Enforcement Professionals in Massachusetts whom I am often tasked to work against in this adversarial system. They consistently testify under oath and speak the truth without reservation even when the truth might be inconsistent with their position or opinion seeking a conviction. Truly admirable.
Last Week on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, DISMISSED: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 1362 CR 9187, Charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) against my client were DISMISSED on the day of trial despite recording a breath test of .27 .*
In this matter we filed a Motion to Withdraw Plea and a New Trial pursuant to Commonwealth v. Hallinan, 491 Mass. 730 (SJC 13301) (2023) for this Thirteen (13) year old case. Pursuant to the new court decision in Hallinan if you: “pleaded guilty or who were convicted after trial, and the evidence against whom included breath test results from an Alcotest 9510 device last calibrated and certified prior to April 18, 2019, [you are] entitled to a conclusive presumption of egregious government misconduct.”
What this decision means to you: in many instances the court will vacate your prior judgement and grant you a new trial. In the new trial the breath test will be excluded AND YOU FACE NO ADDITIONAL PENALTY. Oftentimes – as a result of ethical and conscientious prosecution – the Commonwealth is unable to produce a witness for these older cases as a result of the passage of time. Thus, the prior OUI conviction can disappear with no risk to the defendant. This becomes especially important to individuals charged with Second or Subsequent Offense Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) who are faced with much harsher penalties UNLESS the prior OUI convictions are overturned.
IN THIS MATTER, MY CLIENT WHO WAS FACING A MANDATORY MINIMUM FIVE (5) YEAR LOSS OF LICENSE RECEIVED INSTEAD A FORTY FIVE (45) DAY LOSS OF LICENSE as a result of this dismissal.
(The above and below are DIFFERENT cases both won as a result of the Hallinan decision.)

Defendant, Docket No. 1167 CR 0971, Charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) against my client were DISMISSED on the day of trial despite recording a breath test of .21 .*
In this matter we filed a Motion to Withdraw Plea and a New Trial pursuant to Commonwealth v. Hallinan, 491 Mass. 730 (SJC 13301) (2023) for this fifteen (15) year old case. Pursuant to the new court decision in Hallinan if you: “pleaded guilty or who were convicted after trial, and the evidence against whom included breath test results from an Alcotest 9510 device last calibrated and certified prior to April 18, 2019, [you are] entitled to a conclusive presumption of egregious government misconduct.”

IN THIS MATTER, MY CLIENT WHO WAS FACING A MANDATORY MINIMUM 6 MONTHS IN JAIL AND A THIRTEEN YEAR LOSS OF LICENSE RECEIVED NO JAIL TIME as a result of this dismissal.
On Friday, 3 April 2026, DISMISSED: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2567 CR 1952, Charges of Assault and Battery on a Family or Household Member against my client were DISMISSED on the day of trial.*
On Tuesday, 24 March 2026, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2564 CR 1248, after trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) despite having been involved in a head on collision with a telephone pole destroying both the pole and the car*.
When defending OUI matters which result in an accident it is paramount to remember that the officers’ own training is that the signs and symptoms of intoxication are almost identical to the signs and symptoms of someone who has been involved in a serious car accident.
