Understanding Massachusetts' Domestic Violence Laws

With years of experience defending clients, we know the laws and know what it takes to provide clients with solid defense representation. We can help you understand your case and fight to preserve your rights.
Under Massachusetts law, police are required to arrest anyone suspected of committing any form of domestic violence. Therefore, even if the police are called to your home by neighbors who overheard a fight between spouses, the police may make an arrest if they suspect abuse has occurred. At this point, the case is out of your hands. Once the police make an arrest, it is up to the prosecutor to determine whether or not to file criminal charges - even if the case is recanted by the alleged victim.
