Massachusetts Carjacking Defense Attorneys
In Massachusetts, carjacking is the crime of threatening, attempting, or completing the act of using violence to take away another individual's motor vehicle against his or her will with the intent of temporarily or permanently depriving them of that vehicle. Even confining, maiming, or assaulting the owner with a dangerous weapon can bring carjacking charges.
Carjacking is done in the presence of the motor vehicle owner through the means of force or fear. Along with Massachusetts, every other state - and the federal government - has its own carjacking law. Death that results from a carjacking is considered a capital crime under federal law.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for carjacking, you need an aggressive and knowledgeable attorney on your side. Our firm, The Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group can provide you with the protection and guidance necessary to get the best result possible.
For a no-obligation consultation in any of our offices, call (800) 461-6900. We meet clients at night and over the weekend - we even meet clients on Sundays!
Since carjacking is a felony in Massachusetts, the bail requirements and restrictions are somewhat stringent. A properly presented bail motion will prove to be a great weapon for our lawyers in reducing excessive bail in your case. Call us for an immediate review of your matter.
