Be assured that you have an attorney that is fully aware that any involvement in criminal court can affect your future or current career choices as well as your overall employability. Aside from employment limitations, some criminal charges could result in license suspension even though the charge does not involve a motor vehicle. A criminal record may result in the denial, suspension or termination of professional license(s). Additionally, many individuals are surprised to learn that a criminal charge or conviction can result in firearms licenses being suspended or their right to carry being taken away altogether. Offenses that are of a sexual nature come with registration boards such as the Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB). Attorney Barabino is aware of these collateral consequences and realizes the importance of ensuring that your rights are protected and everything that can be done on your behalf is done and done right.
