Legal Answers
17 Questions Answered
- Q. If you please guilty to a felony crime in the state of Massachusetts can you appeal your guilty plea
- A: You can’t do an appeal, but you may have grounds to file a motion to withdraw your plea if you have sufficient grounds (aka “motion for new trial”). A criminal defense attorney can evaluate the case and discuss your options.

- A: Yes, there are a fair amount of us who offer flat fee consultations.
- Q. Can you assist me in sealing my record?
- A: If the case ended with a dismissal, you can petition the court anytime. If it was a conviction, you need to wait 3 years for a misdemeanor or 7 years for a felony. I do a lot of petitions to seal, so feel free to call if you have any questions: 781-797-0555.
