Protecting Your Rights From False Charges · Criminal Defense Lawyers in Worcester

In Massachusetts, when the police field a domestic violence accusation, they are obligated by law to arrest someone, even if they think the charges are false. Do not talk to the police about what happened without a lawyer present, and contact us immediately if you have been arrested for domestic violence.

  • Spousal abuse: This is obviously between one spouse and another, and it is the most frequent type of domestic abuse charge we see.
  • Child abuse: Child abuse cases are complex and difficult to fight. Even the thought of child abuse is enough to make people assume the accused party is guilty, so it is important to fight against child abuse charges aggressively and strategically.
  • Elder abuse: These charges usually come as a result of arguments with stepparents, most often occurring when everyone lives in the same household. We can help defend you against these charges.

Many of these charges come as a result of a misunderstanding. Neighbors can hear a heated argument and overestimate the intensity of the situation. In other cases, one spouse falsifies domestic violence charges in order to gain an advantage in custody and visitation battles in divorce proceedings. We can help defend you against these charges.
