Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles felony and misdemeanor cases in Massachusetts courts. With extensive trial experience, we represent clients facing domestic crimes, larceny, assault charges, and probation violations. We develop strategic defense approaches through pretrial motions and negotiations while preparing for trial when necessary. Our focus includes minimizing long-term consequences affecting employment, immigration status, and family relationships.
Restraining Orders
We provide legal representation for abuse and harassment prevention orders in Massachusetts. Our services include preparing evidence for ex-parte hearings, challenging unjust orders, and navigating the complex legal requirements for both temporary and permanent orders. We help clients understand their rights regarding contact restrictions, custody arrangements, and firearm surrender requirements during these proceedings.
Clerk Magistrate Hearings
Our firm specializes in clerk magistrate hearings for misdemeanor charges not resulting in arrest. We prepare comprehensive defenses to prevent criminal complaints from being issued. Through evidence presentation and witness cross-examination, we challenge probable cause determinations while advising clients on potential outcomes including case dismissals or arraignment proceedings in Plymouth County courts.
Harassment Prevention Orders
We represent clients in harassment prevention order cases involving allegations of stalking, criminal harassment, or sexual misconduct. Our attorneys prepare clients for hearings where three or more harassing acts must be proven. We challenge evidence credibility and present counter-arguments regarding contact restrictions and restitution orders in Massachusetts district courts.
Abuse Prevention Orders
Our legal team handles abuse prevention orders (209A) for family or household members facing allegations of physical harm, threats, or sexual coercion. We prepare clients for both emergency and formal hearings, challenging evidence of abuse while explaining court requirements for custody arrangements, property vacating orders, and firearm surrender mandates.
