Massachusetts Traffic Ticket Lawyers

Got a ticket in Massachusetts? In most cases an attorney can resolve it for a flat fee — often without you appearing in court.

Massachusetts has no license point system. Instead, moving violations generate SDIP (Safe Driver Insurance Plan) surcharge points that raise premiums directly for up to six years, while the RMV suspends licenses based on event counts — for example, three speeding violations within 12 months or seven surchargeable events in three years.

Most Massachusetts tickets are civil motor vehicle infractions contested first at a clerk-magistrate hearing in District Court, with a further appeal to a judge — a two-bite process with high dismissal rates for well-presented cases. Criminal charges like OUI and operating after suspension proceed as ordinary criminal cases.
