There are people that will tell you that you dont need to bring a lawyer to a Clerk Magistrate Hearing in Massachusetts. Technically, they're right, you don't have to; in fact you don't have to appear, but if you don't appear, the complaint is most likely going to issue against you. And the chances of that complaint issuing against you are also going to be much higher if you do not have an experienced attorney representing you at that time to try to prevent the complaint from issuing. Im Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters, at Altman and Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have twenty-five years of experience. If youre in trouble and you need someone in your corner, who cares, and will fight for you, give me a call.
