Domestic Violence Increases in the Summer.

Unfortunately this is a truth we cannot ignore.  Domestic violence increases during the summer months and there are a myriad of reasons why.  There is an increase in stress due to the children being home all day.  Hot summer temperatures heat up tempers.  There are also many summer parties, particularly those that include alcohol that create a potential matchbox for violence.  Did you see or hear about the television series on NBC called the Slap?  If you did, you get the idea.

In Massachusetts, a domestic restraining order is known as a “209A order”.  This order could prevent you from seeing your children or even being in the same neighborhood as your spouse and you have NOT been convicted of ANYTHING at this point.  Maybe you have been found to have violated a restraining order.  Perhaps you have been accused of domestic assault and battery, criminal harassment, stalking, or making threats.

Do not take chances with just any attorney in the Commonwealth.  Call Attorney Paul R. Moraski immediately.  Attorney Moraski relies on experts and investigators to identify witnesses to the alleged assault, battery or harassment.  He and his people will dig deep to find out the truth and defend you vigorously against these charges.  Call Attorney Paul Moraski, representing criminal defendants in Massachusetts, at (978) 744-1200.

Armed Robbery

With summer often comes a spike in armed robbery as more people are traveling around the greater Boston area.  This is a very serious crime.  In Massachusetts armed robbery carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.  Did you know that you can be charged with this offense without actually having a weapon on your person?  The mere mention of a possible weapon may bring with it a maximum charge.

If someone invades a home in the Commonwealth it is known as armed burglary or armed home invasion.  This crime also carries a maximum penalty of life in prison.  In Massachusetts there are constitutional safeguards that allow a skilled criminal attorney to suppress an improper identification of the assailant.  It is also important to know that there are very specific procedures that the police must follow to properly search and seize the weapon in question.

Obviously armed robbery is an extremely serious accusation.  You need an extremely skilled Massachusetts criminal defense attorney with years of experience in criminal court.  If you or someone you know has been accused of armed robbery contact attorney Paul R. Moraski immediately at (978) 397-0011.  In a case like this every second counts!

Gold coins reported missing from Boston Public Library

An Adversarial Justice System.

Do you know what an adversarial justice system means?  Well, you need to because your future freedom may depend on it.  Let’s say that you are accused of a crime.  You KNOW that you are innocent and you have never been charged with anything prior.  So maybe you think that the judge and the prosecutor will not pursue the case with the same vigor that they would if you were a hardened criminal.  Absolutely NOT!  In Massachusetts ONLY your criminal defense attorney will advocate on your behalf.

Attorney Paul Moraski will help you navigate through the turbulent waters of the Massachusetts justice system.  The prosecutor’s job is to win the case against you even if you are the nicest most innocent person on earth.  Beware because many attorneys are afraid of litigation.  They worry more about their own reputation of perhaps losing a case.  You need a defense attorney who actually loves the trial process and doesn’t shirk his one and only duty…making sure that you are cleared of any and all charges.

Talk to Paul Moraski today.  Get a feel for his exuberance in helping you maintain your freedom.  There are plenty of innocent people doing jail time because of poor representation.  Attorney Paul Moraski may be reached by calling (978) 397-0011 or visit his website at www.northofbostonlaw.com.

The Sentencing of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Around the world the public has been riveted by the trial and sentencing of the Boston Marathon Bomber.  It reminds us that Massachusetts is tough on crime and still recognizes capital punishment as a deterrent to violent crimes.  This tradition goes back to colonial times when Massachusetts was one of the first colonies to carry out the death penalty.  In 1900, the state installed an electric chair to be used in death penalty cases. Electrocution was the most common form of execution in the Commonwealth until capital punishment was abolished in 1984.

The Commonwealth now votes decidedly against the death penalty.  However when it comes to punishing people who have been convicted of crimes the state remains rigid.  The state’s population in prison or jail has tripled since the early 1980s and state spending on corrections policies will top $2 billion over the next decade, up from more than $1 billion currently, without major changes in public policy.

It is imperative that no matter what nature of crime you or a loved one may be accused of that you seek out the best representation possible.  This is not only true in the trial stage, but in the sentencing stage, if heaven forbid it should ever come to that.  For aggressive representation of criminal law, contact attorney Paul Moraski at (978) 397-0011.  Your future is at stake here…make the right call now!
