A Misdemeanor is No Small Charge

Any brush with the law can leave lasting effects. Often times we think a petty charge or a misdemeanor are easily beaten. Maybe a slap on the wrist, a fine and a stern talking to. That isn't always the case. In fact, that isn't usually the case.
Though most misdemeanors won't involve jail time, they are no less stigmatic on your record. Whether you are trying to procure employment, residence, credit, etc. The lasting repercussions can be like an untreated wound.
Even in the case of misdemeanors, having an aggressive attorney who is willing to go the distance and fight for you could be the determining factor in the preservation of your reputation. Should employers, landlords, creditors, et al, see a misdemeanor charge on your application or resumé, rest assure they won't ask about what happened because they've already heard enough.
Don't be stigmatized by a mistake and certainly don't underestimate the power of a misdemeanor charge. Call us today for a consultation. (978) 744-1200.

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.
