Massachusetts District Court and BMC Criminal Defense Attorney
Serpa Law Office represents clients in criminal cases across the Massachusetts Trial Court system — the District Courts, the Boston Municipal Court, and the Superior Courts. Attorney Joe Serpa has practiced in these courts for thirty years, during which time the firm has handled thousands of cases across Eastern and Central Massachusetts. The approach is consistent regardless of which courthouse is involved: careful review of the evidence, identification of constitutional issues, preparation for trial, and resolution at the earliest stage the evidence supports.

The Approach
Cases at any of these courts are handled the same way. From the moment a client retains the firm, the case is reviewed for constitutional issues — illegal stops, defective warrants, coerced statements — and prepared for the best available resolution, whether that is a successful clerk-magistrate hearing, a pre-trial dismissal, or a verdict at trial. Plea agreements are considered when the evidence is strong and the outcome is genuinely the best available option — not as a default.
Attorney Serpa has handled cases resulting in thousands of dismissals and acquittals across these courts. The record is the most honest representation of the practice.
