Outstanding Warrants Can Greatly Inhibit Your Everyday Life

The long arm of the law isn't just an expression. It's a reality that people find themselves in the grip of, daily. Literally and figuratively.

Say you have an outstanding warrant for something as small as failing to appear in court for a small traffic violation. Now, you have a warrant out for your arrest. Is the SWAT team going to come bursting through your window like the Kool-Aid Man to bring you to justice? Unlikely, (unless you have a felony warrant.)

What is likely is that you are going out to dinner or picking a friend up from the airport when you are pulled over by a cop for a small violation. When they run you through the database for wants and warrants and your name comes up, you will be arrested and booked. Your friend will have to get a ride and your dinner will get cold. If it's Friday, you'll likely spend the weekend in jail until Monday morning. Suddenly things just got very serious. Your first order of business is to remain silent and call us. Attorney Paul Moraski has a deeply knowledgeable understanding of all aspects of criminal law. 

An outstanding warrant can inhibit your ability to do just about anything, not to mention the psychological burden it causes whenever you see a police officer.
Don't live on the lam. Free your mind of having to look over your shoulder or having to squirm whenever you hear a siren. Attorney Paul Moraski is standing by, ready to listen to your side, and fight for you.

Mistakes Happen... At Your Expense.

Mistakes Happen... At Your Expense.

If you have been convicted of a crime and sentenced, what are your options? Do you simply accept your fate as the jury sees it or do you appeal to a higher court. If you've hired us, then the latter is the answer.

"To err is human..." also exists in the confines of a courtroom. Many cases from the time of arrest to sentencing can be fraught with human error. That's why we appeal.

A higher court can uncover the misgivings of the lower court. It can review and correct mistakes that were made. Mistakes that cost you your freedom. Something as simple as a mishandling of evidence to something even more underhanded; tampering with evidence by Prosecutors and or Police. While we don't want to think that there is corruption in our justice system, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the startling number of incarcerations our country boasts compared to other nations. Are we more criminally inclined or are we more inclined to label someone a criminal?

If you have been convicted of a crime in The State of Massachusetts and you wish to appeal, Attorney Paul Moraski is ready to take your call.

What Should I Do If Falsely Accused of a crime in Massachusetts

False Accusations can be very serious. If you are falsely accused of a crime, don’t rely on the adage: “The truth shall set you free”. That isn’t always the case. Especially when it comes to the justice system. It’s not a matter of telling the truth, it’s a matter of people who don’t know you and are making a decision purely based on the accusations. You’re already in the hole with credibility if you are accused. Innocent until proven guilty would be true if the burden of proof didn’t lie with the accused. They say it doesn’t, but reality begs to differ.

If you or someone you know has been falsely accused, don’t think for a second the truth will rise to the top and you’ll be exonerated. Countless innocent men and women sit in prison right now who had the same thought.

What Should I Do If Falsely Accused?

In the case of being falsely accused, it’s only human nature to emphatically deny any allegations against you. It is important to remember, say nothing. Remaining silent (even if innocent) is the best way to set up a quality defense for yourself. The state doesn’t care whether you did it or not as much as they care about clearing cases and keeping the crime and murder rate down. Get a hold of us and let us sort it out. If you have been arrested, you’ve already met the criteria for them to build a case against you. That’s why time is paramount. Call us immediately. Before anyone. We will fight to prove your innocence. The last thing this country needs is another falsely incarcerated individual.

What To Do In Massachusetts If You Are Wrongly Accused Of Assault

Being accused of assault is a very serious allegation. There are degrees of assault which can easily be increased at the insistence of the prosecution. Often times, the mere suggestion of assault is grounds for arrest.

For example, in Northampton Prosecutors have dropped the remaining charges against two homeless people whom had been accused of wrapping a jump rope around a 9-year-old girl's neck and then tying the other end to a tree. For more than a year the two people were facing very serious charges (attempted murder, kidnapping of a child, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and two counts of assault and battery) and were placed on house arrest based on a little girl's version of the truth.

A year ago all but two counts of assault and battery were dropped. The Prosecution still planned on going through with the prosecution until this past Thursday. Ultimately, the prosecution was forced to drop all sought charges when it was revealed there was no DNA evidence linking the pair with the incident.

There are a lot of people out there who fabricate stories for one reason or another. Their testimony could decide you or your loved one's fate. Whether you are wrongly accused of or have been involved in an assault, know that the prosecution will do anything and everything to see to it you are punished by the fullest extent of the law. Contact Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney Paul R. Moraski at (978) 744-1200 immediately for a consultation if you or a loved on has been charged with assault.
