Facing a criminal charge can be a daunting experience for you and your family. Our Boston criminal lawyers not only have the skill and knowledge to provide you with top notch criminal representation, but they are also compassionate and empathetic.

FAQs

What are my rights when I have been arrested?

You have the right to remain silent. You also do not have to speak with a police officer without an attorney present. This is important because anything that you say may be used against you in a criminal proceeding. You have the right to have an attorney represent you and to know what you’ve been charged with once you have been detained or arrested.

What should I do once I have been arrested?

You should contact our experienced criminal lawyers for professional legal representation. We have the experience, skills and resources necessary to help you.

How does a search warrant work?

The police must properly file a petition with a court in order to get a search warrant. Generally, they must provide sufficient evidence that a criminal activity has occurred, and that activity is connected to the specific area that will be searched. They also must identify what they hope to find. If they violate the rules that govern search warrants, our criminal defense attorneys can help you.

What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?

Under federal law, generally, misdemeanors are less serious crimes that involve up to 12 months in jail, but not more. Felonies are more serious crimes with a potential sentence of more than a year in prison, large fines, and possibly parole. The penalties you face will depend on your crime, your past criminal record and other factors associated with the crime such as the age of the victim.

Why should I hire a criminal defense lawyer?

Navigating the criminal system is complicated and a public defender is usually burdened by a very large volume of cases to be able to give your case the high level of attention needed to help you get the best results possible in your case.  You want a professional criminal attorney  that is committed to protecting your rights and that has the  knowledge and experience defending the type of charges you are facing as well as experience in the court where the charges were filed, whether it be state or federal court.  Our criminal lawyers at FitzGerald Law Company, have years of experience defending individuals like you in both State and Federal court with a successful track record.  We will represent you zealously and create strong defense strategies that will help you get the best outcome in your case.
