Criminal Defense

Every case is unique and requires a trained eye to evaluate the evidence and determine a strategic approach to handling the matter.  Attorney Walckner has vast experience as a former police detective and certified rape investigator combined with rape, child rape, and sexual assault trial experience.

Assault or A&B on Household or Family Members, 209A abuse prevention order violations, 258E Harassment Prevention Order violations, strangulation allegations.

The Massachusetts "drunk driving" statute, Operating while Under the Influence ("OUI") has a graduated sentencing formula that allows for pretrial resolution for many first and second offenders.  OUI cases require a deliberate review of the evidence by attorneys experienced in this area. Most times, OUI charges involve other motor vehicle charges.  Many times, the risks associated with trial are worth challenging the accusations and the case is put to trial.  For subsequent offenders, mandatory periods of incarceration are imposed if found guilty or pleading guilty.  

Narcotics offenses including possession, distribution, and trafficking cases.  Conspiracy to violate the Controlled Substances Act, distribution within school zones, and joint/constructive possession cases.

Unlicensed Possession of Firearms or Ammunition, high-capacity feeding devices, and restricted carry areas.  Possession of dangerous or incendiary devices.

Attorney Walckner's "Police Malpractice" style to challenging the adequacy of the police investigation, the accuracy and credibility of sources of information, and the disregard of other possibilities leads to doubt.  Garbage In = Garbage Out
