Criminal defense
Being charged with a criminal offense can have long lasting consequences in addition to the threat of incarceration. Criminal convictions may affect your driver’s license, employment opportunities, or even preclude you from volunteering at your child’s school. If you have been arrested or accused of a crime in Massachusetts, exercise your right to remain silent and immediately call an experienced lawyer like Attorney Dana A. Sargent. You should never give a statement to the police without consulting with an attorney first.
PERSONAL INJURY
Insurance companies and insurance adjusters are not on your side. If you are in an accident in Massachusetts, it is important that you meet with a personal injury accident lawyer as soon as possible. Often, with the best of intentions, injured people do things that hurt their ability to recover full compensation for their injuries. Attorney Sargent and our staff can guide you through the proceedings of getting a fair settlement from the insurance companies.
auto ACCIDENTS
If you were physically injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident, you may be able to make a claim for compensation against the responsible party, their insurance company, or other entity. All states have different regulations as to eligibility for claims resulting from motor vehicle accidents. For example, in Massachusetts, the state may require an individual to have incurred at least $2,000.00 in reasonable medical care expenses to be eligible to file a claim.
JUVENILE LAW
The reality of it all is that today’s juvenile court is a criminal court and lots of kids end up in jail. Juveniles fall under the same Massachusetts Rules of Criminal Procedure as adults. The District Attorney in Massachusetts prosecutes juveniles, who are subject to arraignment, bail, conditions of pretrial release, and trial. Your child could be committed to DYS, which is the juvenile equivalent of incarceration. We will work incredibly hard to prevent that. If your child has been arrested or is accused of a crime in Massachusetts, advise them to exercise their right to remain silent and immediately call an experienced juvenile lawyer like Attorney Dana A. Sargent.
