If you are accused of a crime, you may feel like the whole world is against you. Too often, criminal defendants lack the proper representation to effectively fight against their criminal charges or navigate the complex and intimidating criminal justice system. White & Associates will ensure that you are aggressively, skillfully, and creatively represented throughout the criminal process and we will work tirelessly to obtain the best possible result for you. We work closely with Interstate Investigations and other experts in the field of Psychiatry, Psychology, DNA, Fingerprint, Memory, Crime Scene Reconstruction, Chemistry and Narcotics to level the playing field with the Government opposition.
Narcotics
White & Associates has successfully defended hundreds of drug crimes for clients facing narcotics charges in Federal and Massachusetts courts. Narcotics crimes cover the following offenses: Drug Conspiracy, Drug Trafficking, Simple Drug Possession, Drug Distribution, Drug Manufacture, Possession with Intent to Distribute, Prescription Fraud and Habitual Offender Charges. White & Associates has also litigated multiple narcotics cases with law enforcement wiretaps and/or electronic surveillance of defendants. White & Associates has taught seminars to other attorneys regarding electronic surveillance and cell phone technology.
Firearms
We have also successfully defended hundreds of firearm crimes which include the following offenses: Possession of a Firearm, Possession of a Sawed-Off Shotgun, Possession of a High Capacity Weapon, Possession of a Loaded Firearm, Failure to Properly Secure a Firearm, Felon in Possession of a Weapon, and Armed Career Criminal charges.
Violent & Sexual Crimes
White & Associates has successfully defended many clients accused of violent and sexual crimes. Violent crimes cover the following offenses: Manslaughter, Arson, Mayhem, Home Invasion, Bank Robbery, Armed Home Invasion, Armed Assault with Attempt to Murder, Attempted Murder and Murder.
Sexual assault crimes include the following offenses: Rape, Attempted Rape, Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, Sex Trafficking and Indecent Assault and Battery.
In many cases, the entire prosecution often rests on the unsupported testimony of one victim, circumstantial evidence or video evidence. White & Associates will aggressively investigate the background of this victim, their motive to lie and their past history in the criminal justice system to ensure that the Court has a full picture of this witness. In many cases we have found that inconsistent statements from the victim (such as transcripts of prior restraining order hearings, prior evidentiary hearings, prior depositions, prior statements given under oath) can be successfully used to effectively impeach witness credibility. We have derailed the Commonwealth’s case with effective and succinct defense strategy developed from having 25 years of experience in the field of criminal defense.
Operating Under the Influence (OUI)
White & Associates specializes in cases where a client is facing a subsequent OUI charge.
OUI offenses can be very serious for an individual because they carry mandatory minimum sentences and can cause you to lose your license for life.
Prosecutions of OUI usually rests on arbitrary field sobriety tests that lack any scientific basis and breath test readings that are often improperly calibrated and improperly utilized. We construct motions to compel discovery of background of breath test operators as required by 501 CMR 2.23, background on breath test device and simulator certifications pursuant to 501 CMR 2.39 and background on the testing of the breath test device and simulator as required by 501 CMR 2.41. We have effectively beaten several OUI cases despite substantial evidence of intoxication while driving.
