If you’ve been charged with a crime, here are the things why should I hire a criminal defense attorney from the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson as soon as possible, even before the arraignment. An arraignment will be your first court appearance and is when the charges against you will be read. This is also when you will be asked how you are going to plead to those charges. The criminal justice system can be intimidating, but hiring a skilled criminal defense attorney that you can trust may be your first step to easing some of your stress.
Without an attorney, your defense could be impaired, your rights could be waived, and you could remain in jail unnecessarily. This is why you should hire a Boston criminal defense attorney as soon as possible if you’re arrested.
I take on many different types of criminal defense cases. Below are just some of the criminal defense cases I handle; a full list of all criminal defense cases I take can be found on my website:
We also take on Clerk’s Magistrate Hearings which is a great way to avoid the criminal process altogether. Having a lawyer with you at a Clerk’s Hearing can help you avoid the charges completely and protect your record.
If you’ve been arrested, call or text The Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson as soon as possible to set up an appointment to speak with me. I have office locations in Boston and Salem, Massachusetts, and can do consultations over the phone or via Zoom as well.
