Are you looking for a lawyer in Charlestown, MA? Maybe you are wanted for question in a crime or you have been arrested in Charlestown, Massachusetts? If so, you should reach out to a criminal defense attorney who knows the neighborhood of Charlestown and can advise you on the best defense for  your case.

Charlestown is the oldest neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts. It is located on a peninsula across from downtown Boston and adjoins the Charles River, Mystic River and Boston Harbor. It is a rapidly gentrifying, mostly residential area with a strong Irish history. It is home to many historical landmarks such as the Bunker Hill Monument, the USS Constitution and The Warren Tavern.

Charlestown is a historically Irish neighborhood that is becoming more diverse, with immigrants from Latin American countries and elsewhere. It is a quiet neighborhood with a low crime rate. Charlestown is a charming, old neighborhood with many historic buildings. Its historic profile means it has low housing stock that can’t accommodate new development and makes affordable housing an issue for lower income residents. 

The Charlestown division of the Boston Municipal Court deals with minor offenses such as shoplifting, code violations and disturbances. People who already have a criminal record or who are younger may enter the criminal justice system for small infractions that can reduce their opportunities and affect their job prospects. 

If you are arrested for a serious crime, like a Federal Crime, Sex Crime, Violent Crime or White Collar Crime, your case will be handled in a Boston District Court. Whether you are accused of a serious crime, or a first time offender accused of a misdemeanor or violation, any accusations can affect the course of your life and should be taken seriously.
