If you were just arrested in Massachusetts — stop reading and call (617) 501-0411 right now. Every minute matters.
An arrest is one of the most frightening experiences of your life. Your instinct may be to explain yourself, cooperate fully, and hope for the best. That instinct is wrong and can destroy your case. The single most important thing you can do in the first moments after an arrest in Massachusetts is to stop talking and call Attorney Mark J. Clifford.
The period between arrest and arraignment is when the most damage is done — not by the police, but by the arrested person themselves. Statements made at the police station, in the patrol car, or even in a holding cell can be recorded and used against you. Attorney Mark J. Clifford is available at any hour to advise you on exactly what to say, what to sign, and what to refuse.
Arraignment in Massachusetts typically occurs the morning after arrest. This is your first court appearance — where charges are formally read and bail is set. Having Attorney Mark J. Clifford at your arraignment is critical. An unrepresented defendant almost always faces higher bail and harsher conditions. Attorney Clifford argues for release on personal recognizance or the lowest possible bail, and begins challenging the prosecution's case from day one.
