The Attleboro District Court serves a Bristol County corridor along the Rhode Island border and I-95, and its docket includes the concert cases from the Xfinity Center in nearby Mansfield alongside the motor vehicle matters an interstate border produces, many against out-of-state defendants. The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes here, and Attorney Joe Serpa prepares each case as a matter to be ended at the earliest stage.
Some of the strongest defenses end a case entirely rather than settling it. The firm’s companion page explains how criminal cases get dismissed in the Massachusetts district and municipal courts.
Communities Served. Attleboro, Mansfield, North Attleboro, and Norton.
Concert and Event Cases. The Xfinity Center in Mansfield draws large summer crowds, and the resulting OUI, disorderly, trespass, and alcohol matters, many against out-of-state concertgoers, are exactly the kind of case the clerk-magistrate hearing can end quietly, with counsel appearing so the client does not return to Massachusetts for the hearing.
Motor Vehicle and Border Cases. The I-95 corridor to Providence feeds a motor vehicle docket, much of it against Rhode Island drivers, with the four-day citation rule governing the cases that begin without an arrest. The court also hears the domestic violence, drug, and theft calendars of a suburban court.
