- Q. What will the DA offer for larceny charge with past dropped misdemeanors?
- A: The district attorney will base his offer to you on the strength of his case. Additionally, he will consider the amount of the loss along with any input from the alleged victim. There are to many variables to consider without reviewing all of the facts of the case.
- Q. Charged with gun possession; gun found in gym bag at previous residence.
- A: Based upon the facts that you have set forth in your email, I believe that it would be difficult for the Commonwealth to directly tie you to the handgun. The Commonwealth would have to prove that you possessed the firearm. Absent any other information such as a video of you with the gun or witness testimony placing you with the gun, a conviction would be quite difficult.
- Q. How can I petition the court to restore my firearm rights after felonies in Massachusetts?
- A: In order to attempt to regain your firearm license the first step should be to apply to your local licensing authority. Most likely, the police department. If it is then denied, an appeal to the applicable court would be the next step.
