Sometimes people do not realize their license has been suspended due to an out of state ticket finally catching up to them. Their first knowledge of the suspension is when they are pulled over for a traffic violation.
Drug Offenses: _are considered crimes under both Federal and State criminal justice codes, which make the manufacturing, possession, trafficking, distribution and selling of a number of controlled substances a crime. Chambers and Booth, with offices in Danvers, Massachusetts has considerable experience representing defendants on all Federal and State drug charges.

Felonies: are crimes typically punishable by over one year in prison. Most felonies include fines and may be defined under the Federal or State penal codes.
Fraud: is a crime that occurs in many different forms but typically involves the alleged defendant receiving some type of financial gain through direct theft or a theft by false pretenses. To prove a defendant has committed some type of fraud the prosecution must show that the defendant knowingly and intentionally deceived the victim.
Federal jurisdiction refers to authority of a federal court to hear cases involving crimes charged under federal law. Crime has traditionally been the domain of individual states, but Congress is authorized through its powers under the commerce, postal, and taxing clauses in the Constitution to make criminal laws covering those areas. While a person can be prosecuted for the same incident under state and federal law, most often the choice of whether to bring an action in state or federal court is based upon resources available to investigate and prosecute the crime and on sentencing options.
Juvenile Crimes: are typically called delinquent acts and handled in the juvenile court system. The major purpose of the juvenile system is to rehabilitate the offender, and many sentences require counseling or other family intervention. Juvenile court jurisdiction typically ends when a person turns eighteen. However, juveniles can be charged and tried as adults in certain circumstances. At Chambers and Booth, we are fierce advocates for juveniles charged with crimes...more on Juvenile Crime
Misdemeanors: are generally crimes where the punishment is less than one year in prison. Many crimes, such as theft, simple assault, drug possession have degrees of seriousness with the most serious being felonies and the less serious being misdemeanors. At Chambers and Booth, we represent people who get arrested or charged with either misdemeanors or felonies.
Prostitution & Solicitation: refers to the government's case against the lawbreaker. A prosecutor - the lawyer presenting the government's case - has complete discretion to decide whether to bring a charge against an alleged offender and must prove all charges beyond a reasonable doubt. At Chambers and Booth, we have extensive experience representing defendants on solicitation charges in Massachusetts
RICO Crimes: refers to the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act passed in 1970 as part of a larger organized crime bill. The act was enacted to allow law enforcement to vigorously investigate and prosecute organized crime, but also it has been used to prosecute individuals other than just those associated with organized crime.
Sex offenses: include much more than the common-law crime of rape, which historically was limited to unlawful sexual intercourse by a man against a woman through the use of force or the immediate threat of force.

In addition, sex offenses include crimes that are defined based on the status of the victim, such as a child or therapy patient.
