Framingham District Court Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you or a loved one has been arrested in Framingham Massachusetts, or you are facing criminal charges for a misdemeanor or felony crime in Ashland, Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton, Natick, Sherborn, Sudbury, or Wayland, your case will be heard at the Framingham District Court.
We Know the Framingham Courts
Once charged with a serious crime, you need to begin working on a strategic plan for defending against the charges filed by law enforcement and the District Attorney's Office. In Framingham, the first step is hiring a criminal defense lawyer who knows the system, the prosecutors, the local court, the judge, and how he or she applies the law. That is especially the case since your case will likely be heard before Judge Cunis, Judge Greco, or Judge Stoddart.

The Types of Cases We Handle
Assault & Battery: Out of our Framingham criminal law office, our assault and battery lawyers have over 50 years representing clients who have found themselves accused of assault, assault with a dangerous weapon (ABDW), aggravated assault and assault and battery charges throughout the Greater Boston area. We know how to win these cases.
We know how to successfully defend cases by arguing that what really happened may have been an accidental touching (as opposed to intentional and harmful contact), or by raising the self defense argument. Oftentimes, law enforcement simply assumes that the person who makes the first call to law enforcement is the victim.
Shoplifting and theft crimes : Given how Framingham is the retail center of the Metro West, and how Shopper's World is the home to Borders, Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and DSW, it's no wonder why theft is toward the top of Framingham's crime list. Considering the easy access to Route 9 and a busy customer base, shoplifting and larceny suspects blend in with the shopping crowds. In the summer time, school is out and there's an increase in shoplifting that involves juveniles. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, shoppers want to get through the gift process without having to pay anything.
High school and college crimes : We defend clients at all stages of a criminal case, from initial consultation, to bail and motion hearings, through trials and criminal appeals. We also provide an aggressive defense for both high school and college students facing criminal charges.
Disorderly conduct: This common "catch-all" charge is used by police officers to establish control and demonstrate authority. It might sound insignificant, but it is a common criminal offense that carries penalties and potential jail time in the Middlesex County House of Corrections.
Being convicted of disorderly conduct carries the same stigma and future problems as a conviction for any criminal offense. Whether you were fighting, obstructing traffic, using extremely obscene or abusive language, or had a loud neighborhood party, our criminal attorneys know how to negotiate a plea bargain with the prosecutor and judge. We may be effective in demonstrating mitigating circumstances designed to convince the prosecutor and judge that a withholding of adjudication satisfies the best interests of justice.
Probation violations : Probation is granted as an alternative to jail for certain crimes and acts. Upon granting probation, Massachusetts establishes some very specific guidelines which you are required to follow. If you fail to abide by those guidelines, or if you are charged with another crime, the consequences escalate.
