Mike Murray Recent Client Results:
Last week, on Monday, 3 August 2026, DISMISSED: In Plaintiff v. Defendant, Docket No. 2662 RO 1303 the Restraining Order Application (M.G.L. 209A order) against my client was DENIED.*
In this matter the Plaintiff and Defendant were residents of a rooming house. We argued a jurisdictional issue:
G.L. c. 209A, § 1 defines “family or household members” as:
(a) persons who are or were married to one another;
(b) persons who are or were residing together in the same household;
(c) persons who are or were related by blood or marriage;
(d) persons who have a child in common; or
(e) persons who are or have been in a substantive dating or engagement relationship.
Residents at a rooming house do not fit within this Jurisdictional definition. The Judge agreed and the application for a Restraining Order against my client was DENIED.
The best way to NOT be arrested for a Violation of a Restraining Order is to NOT have the Order issue.
On Wednesday, 29 July 2026, DISMISSED: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2643 CR 0748 Charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) against my client were DISMISSED.*
In this matter my client had dropped his cell phone from the window of his vehicle at a traffic light. My client stopped in traffic to locate his phone. He was approached by a Massachusetts State Police Trooper for the traffic interruption. The trooper made several circumstantial observations of my client, (odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, etc.) which he attributed to intoxication. My client refused all tests but was arrested and charged.
The outstanding prosecution on this matter agreed that this was not enough to prove intoxication and agreed to nolle prosqui the OUI. CASE DISMISSED.
On Tuesday, 28 July 2026, DISMISSED: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2457 CR 1835 Charges of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) and Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle against my client were DISMISSED on the day of trial.*
In this matter the officer had missed a prior court date with no advanced notice and another with advanced notice. I argued “Three strikes” and that the case should be dismissed for Lack of Prosecution. The Judge agreed. Case Dismissed.
On Monday, 27 July 2026, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2567 CR 1852, 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 recorded a Breathalyzer Test of .13 *.
In this matter, prior to trial, we received multiple videos including the Booking video. After reviewing this evidence, we discovered that during the Fifteen (15) minute observation period required by 501 CMR §2.55 and Commonwealth v. Pierre, 72 Mass.App.Ct. 230, 890 N.E.2d 152 (2008) our client disclosed to the officer that she was wearing a removable retainer in her mouth. We filed a motion to suppress the breath test and that motion was ALLOWED. The breath test was excluded at trial.
The evidence with which the Commonwealth was left was two field sobriety tests, one of which the officer testified our client passed. The Officer also testified fairly and honestly while under cross that his ‘observations’ of our client (Bloodshot eyes and odor of alcohol) were circumstantial in nature and therefor full of reasonable doubt. The Result: NOT GUILTY.
On Friday, 24 July 2026, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2567 CR 1224, after trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI), Second Offense *.
In this matter my client was stopped by a local police officer for speeding and a marked lanes violation. Our client refused all tests and was arrested based upon circumstantial factors including an odor of alcohol, glassy eyes and slightly slurred speech. We cross examined the police officer on the circumstantial nature of these observations and the reasonable doubt that is inherent in each observation or opinion. The Officer provided fair and honest testimony regarding the same. We argued that this case with little evidence was replete with reasonable doubt.
Our client’s license, which was suspended for a period of THREE YEARS, was immediately reinstated as a result of our Motion to Reinstate filed immediately after trial.
On Wednesday, 22 July 2026, NOT GUILTY: In Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Defendant, Docket No. 2564 CR 3044, after trial, my client was found NOT GUILTY of Operating a Motor Vehicle While Under the Influence of Alcohol (OUI, DUI or DWI) *.
In this matter my client was approached by a Massachusetts State Police Officer after the officer indicated he believed he was speeding into a service plaza on the Massachusetts Turnpike. Our client refused all tests and was arrested based upon circumstantial factors including an odor of alcohol, glassy eyes and slightly slurred speech. We cross examined the trooper on the circumstantial nature of these observations and the reasonable doubt that is inherent in each observation or opinion. The Trooper provided fair and honest testimony regarding the same. We argued that this case with little evidence was replete with reasonable doubt.
