The Importance of Working With an Experienced Lawyer

In Massachusetts courts, domestic violence is seen as a serious crime. Anyone charged with domestic assault and battery or abuse should immediately seek the counsel of an experienced defense attorney. Working with a lawyer can help ensure that your rights are protected under the law and that your side of the story is heard and considered in court.

An attorney can also explain how a restraining order or a protective order affects you. A violation of one of these court orders is considered a criminal offense, but what constitutes a violation can be an accident or other subtle action. If a restraining order or protective order has been issued against you, our attorneys can explain how this affects you and your interactions with the protected person or persons.

Domestic Violence Defense

Have you been charged with domestic violence? Massachusetts takes abuse cases very seriously, and a conviction could yield severe penalties.

We understand both sides of a domestic violence case. Often, an individual makes one bad decision after a heated argument and finds him or herself charged with abuse. Many of these individuals have no criminal record whatsoever, but rather have made a one-time error in judgment.

Our lawyers take the time to listen to the client's side of the story, thoroughly investigate the evidence and craft the most compelling defense possible. Call our criminal defense lawyers at 978-744-7774 to discuss your case.
