Domestic Violence and the Holidays.

Domestic violence knows no season.  It may rear its ugly head at any time.  Unfortunately, as people are brought together in close quarters during an already stressful time, domestic violence is always on the rise this time of year.  There are family gatherings that some wish could be avoided.  One partner insists on going while the other is opposed to it and conflict ensues.

What To Do If You Are Falsely Accused of a Crime in Massachusetts.

So many people in this country are falsely accused of crimes.  Your reputation may be tarnished forever if you do not fight back aggressively.  In particular a false accusation of a sex crime could boil down to one person’s word against yours.  They may have an ax to grind and you are caught in the middle of controversy.

In many cases a prosecutor may proceed with a sex crime case against you without what you would consider the normal “bare minimum” to build a case.  There may be NO DNA, NO video evidence, NO fingerprints, and most of all NO eye-witness testimony.  The alleged victim may be motivated by any number of selfish issues from a relationship gone bad.  And there you are caught in the middle of the storm completely innocent of any crime.

You must tackle this issue head-on using a professional attorney who has handled many cases of false accusation.  That person in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is Attorney Paul Moraski.  He is well-versed in how to handle a false accusation when it seems like the world is crashing down around you.  Give attorney Moraski a call today at (978) 397-0011 for a free phone consultation.

Domestic Violence Laws in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Domestic Violence is a term that renders a knee-jerk reaction when mentioned. When one has been accused of Domestic Violence, it often places that person in a difficult position. Especially if the allegations are false.

Domestic Violence laws in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have served victims of crimes in many situations; however this is not always the case. In Massachusetts, when there are false allegations being made, oftentimes it becomes a race… The finish line?  The police station. He or she who arrives first will be the one pressing charges. Second place, a trip to jail, criminal record and/or loss of employment. Unfair odds when we are talking about someone’s life, reputation in the community or livelihood. Domestic Violence is not a game and shouldn't be treated as such.  

Oftentimes, Police Officers do not know whose word to believe and that is why many times the person who reports the crime first will be in the driver’s seat.  What many citizens of Massachusetts do not realize is that the Domestic Violence Law, by statute, prefers arresting the person who is alleged to be the aggressor, even if there is no physical evidence to corroborate the complaining witnesses’ story.  This is why an experienced and thorough Criminal Defense Attorney can conduct an investigation into the facts, witnesses, participants and physical evidence in an effort to uncover the truth.  It is common for bitter ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, spouse or in-law to report a False Allegation regarding Domestic Abuse in order to get the upper hand in a custody battle, revenge or monetary gain.  The worst mistake that someone can make when a False Allegation is made regarding Domestic Violence is not hiring an Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney.  Not doing so could lead to a lifetime of major difficulties whether obtaining employment, housing, credit, etc. 

Don’t let yourself become a victim of a False Allegation regarding Domestic Violence.  It is paramount to exercise your rights in such dire situations. For more information on this matter and any other domestic violence-related charges such as Domestic Assault and Battery, Domestic Assault, Criminal Harassment, Stalking, Threatening, and/or Intimidation of a Witness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, please Contact Attorney Paul R. Moraski at 978-744-1200.
