Suffolk County Courthouses
One of the biggest mistakes you can make if your case is in Suffolk County is to think that talking to several attorneys for a free consultation will help you understand the law, represent yourself as a pro se litigant, and handle the case on your own.
Forget it.
Just like speaking to numerous surgeons won't help you do surgery on yourself, you can't learn to practice criminal defense in hours, days or weeks - especially if your case is in the Chelsea District Court, or any division of the Boston Municipal Court including Brighton, Charlestown, Dorchester, East Boston, Roxbury, South Boston, or West Roxbury. To learn more about the court that will be handling your case, go here.
Most criminal offenses which do not require the imposition of a state prison sentence are handled in the Boston Municipal Court or the Chelsea District Court. If a prison sentence is mandated, it will be determined which ones may be sent over to the Superior Court which is located at 3 Pemberton Square in Boston.
When accused of a crime in Suffolk County, the first step in making certain your rights are protected is to enlist an experienced criminal defense attorney who knows his or her way around the Suffolk County courts. At The Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group
, we encourage you to take this step immediately.
Our team includes former prosecutors, which means we have firsthand insight into how the government approaches the serious cases that we handle. We have seen their methods, used their methods, and we know how to defend against them.
Our criminal defense attorneys are in different courts around the Greater Boston Area every day, defending our client's rights and freedom on charges of domestic violence, larceny, drunk driving, drug crimes, breaking and entering, and other violations of the Massachusetts criminal statutes, including:
From the minute we are retained, our attorneys take strong actions to challenge any mistakes that the Massachusetts State Police - or the various local law enforcement agencies - made in your case. Police have been known to go too far, sometimes overstepping their authority. Similarly, the District Attorney's Office has been known to overreach in their charging decisions and the evidence they try to use. Let us confront them on your behalf, with an eye toward keeping you or a loved one out of The Suffolk County House of Corrections - at 20 Bradston Street in Boston, or The Suffolk County Jail at 200 Nashua Street, Boston.
Public defenders do a fine job, but they often have overwhelming case loads and cannot provide the personal attention that a private criminal defense attorney can. When the stakes are high and you need to cover all the bases, you want our legal team in your corner. We will do everything possible to exonerate you from criminal charges.
Just because you've been charged with a Suffolk County crime doesn't mean you'll automatically be convicted. Once we begin working on your case, we will likely conduct interviews and investigations in order to make the difference between a prison sentence and reduced or dismissed charges. To put the experience of our attorneys on your side, it is important to call us at (800) 461-6900. You can also contact us online for a free case evaluation.
Take a Plea Bargain or Go to Trial?
The vast majorities of criminal cases do not go to trial, but are settled through negotiation with the District Attorney's Office. Determining a fair plea bargain is both an art and a science. Given the crushing caseload of the Suffolk D.A.'s office, the prosecutors are often forced to make deals. In many domestic violence or restraining order cases, charges are often manufactured to help a party in another proceeding. Our attorneys are given strict instructions to stand their ground on those cases and take it all the way to trial, if necessary.
Our Founder and Lead Attorney Irwin M. Pollack, has confidence in the attorney's abilities. That confidence stems from our record of overcoming all obstacles, including taking on cases that numerous other lawyers turned down because they were impossible to win, and bringing on cases in which the accused has already pled guilty to the crime. We have seen pleas vacated in these cases, and the client coming out successful.
