Clerk Magistrate’s Hearings

If you have received a summons to appear at a clerk magistrate’s hearing in Worcester County or throughout Massachusetts, you should contact the attorneys at Tansley | Halloran.

Clerk’s hearings are a unique opportunity to try to keep a criminal charge from appearing on your record. During a clerk’s hearing the clerk will consider whether there is probable cause for a charge to issue and whether or not it is in the interest of justice. The attorneys at Tansley |Halloran know how to prepare for a clerk’s hearing so our clients receive the best possible outcome.  

If you have been summonsed to appear at a clerk magistrate’s hearing, do not assume this is something you can handle without an attorney, contact Tansley | Halloran today.
