Taunton District Court

The Taunton District Court serves the Bristol County city of Taunton and a ring of surrounding towns, a mixed urban and suburban catchment along the Route 24 and Route 44 corridors. The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office prosecutes its docket, and Attorney Joe Serpa defends each case with the collateral consequences mapped from the first call.

Every case heard in this court can end in more than one way, and the most valuable outcome is an outright dismissal. Our companion page explains how criminal cases get dismissed in Massachusetts, from the clerk-magistrate stage through trial.
