If your freedom, your career, or your academic standing is on the line, you need a highly skilled Boston Municipal Court defense lawyer assisting you to take control of the narrative and to preserve your hard-earned freedom and future.

Understanding the BMC: Locations and Jurisdictions Unlike standard district courts in Massachusetts, the Boston Municipal Court (BMC) Department is a complex system divided into eight distinct divisional courthouses. Depending on exactly where your arrest or citation occurred, your case will be heard at one of the following locations:

• BMC Central Division: (24 New Chardon St) Covers Downtown Boston, the Financial District, Beacon Hill, the North End, Chinatown, and the Seaport.
• BMC Brighton: (52 Academy Hill Rd) Covers Brighton and Allston.
• BMC Charlestown: (3 City Square) Covers the Charlestown neighborhood.
• BMC Dorchester: (51 Washington St) Covers Dorchester.
• BMC East Boston: (37 Meridian St) Covers East Boston, Winthrop, and all Massport/State Police arrests at Logan International Airport.
• BMC Roxbury: (85 Warren St) Covers Roxbury.
• BMC South Boston: (55 W Broadway) Covers South Boston.
• BMC West Roxbury: (445 Arborway) Covers West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and parts of Mattapan.

Protecting the Futures of Boston’s University and College Students 

Boston is synonymous with higher education. Students from Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University, Suffolk, Emerson, or UMass Boston can face a dual threat when accused of a crime in the Boston Municipal Court. They face aggressive criminal prosecution in the BMC, and severe disciplinary action from their university.

A lapse in judgment should not cost a young person their degree. As your Boston Municipal Court defense lawyer, Attorney Joe Serpa is deeply attentive to the unique pressures college students face. We are highly skilled at defending against underage drinking, OUI/drunk driving, fake ID possession, drug offenses, and campus-related domestic assault, including sex crimes and rape. Our primary strategy is early intervention. Taking advantage of Clerk-Magistrate Hearings and a deep familiarity with the Boston Municipal Court, Attorney Serpa has secured private dismissals of accusations before a formal criminal complaint ever issues, ensuring the student’s CORI and academic future remain spotless.

Safeguarding the Careers of Massachusetts Professionals For executives in the Financial District, medical professionals at Mass General, or out-of-state business travelers arrested at Logan Airport, an allegation of an OUI/DUI, domestic violence, or a white-collar offense is a career-ending threat. It can trigger an immediate suspension of professional licenses, security clearances, and job standing.

Attorney Joe Serpa provides bespoke, highly attentive counsel for professionals who cannot afford a public misstep. Mr. Serpa is respected and highly regarded by the judges across all eight BMC divisions for our meticulous preparation and ethical rigor. Plea deals that leave permanent marks on your record are an absolute last resort and rare outcome for Serpa Law Office. If the prosecution refuses to dismiss a baseless charge, Mr. Serpa applies unmatched trial skills. With a fundamental knowledge of criminal and constitutional law, Mr. Serpa will meticulously challenge the Commonwealth’s evidence, litigate motions to suppress unconstitutional police searches, and fight for your absolute exoneration before a judge or jury. We are in the business of protecting your livelihood.
