How does a hate crime accusation raise the stakes in an assault case?

In Massachusetts we are very concerned about hate crimes. People are extremely sensitive to those hate crimes be it the hatred based on gender, race, sexual orientation, what have you. As a result those cases are going to first of all get more publicity and second of all be treated more harshly in the courts. It's going to be tougher. Even if in a regular assault case, for example, you might be able to get it - the case dismissed or work out a plea bargain where there is no jail, well if it's a hate crime, particularly because of the public exposure a prosecutor is going to be very reluctant -- as is the judge -- to give any kind of leniency.

If you are in trouble and you need someone in your corner who cares and will fight for you, give me a call.

What happens when police come to your house on a domestic violence call in Arizona?

If a couple, or if a family, gets involved in a domestic violence dispute and the police are called, often times a chain of events occurs that is outside of the control of the individuals who called the police. There are many cases in which partners, spouses, etc. do not want the police to take someone to jail. But once the police have come, once the police have investigated the issue, oftentimes someone will go to jail. And by going to jail, and being charged, there are very serious consequences that need to be discussed immediately upon that happening with the client. My name is Mike Baker of the Baker Law Firm. We serve individuals and families all over Arizona in criminal law matters such as drug possession, domestic violence and assault.

Can I be sued for a hate crime?

You can be sued for a hate crime in Massachusetts. What I mean by this is that, if that hate crime caused another person damage, such as malicious destruction of their property or assault and battery, that type of thing. Then absolutely, the so called victim can bring a civil complaint and sue you for the damages that they sustained. The fact that it's based on a hate crime, is going to raise what they are going to look for because a hate crime is going to be an aggravating circumstance that a jury and a judge is not going to like.

What constitutes self-defense in a murder case?

Self-defense is an interesting defense, particularly in Massachusetts. The bottom line of self-defense is that you are only justified in defending yourself with the same type of force as that which is being used against you. So, if somebody comes at me with a stick and they’re going to hit me, if I pick up my AK-47 and blow them away, self-defense is not going to work so well.

What constitutes a hate crime in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, any crime can be elevated to a hate crime if the circumstances surrounding the offense merit it. In other words, if there is an assault case, or a malicious destruction of property, and it is done because of hatred based on race, gender, sexual orientation, that type of thing, it's going to be prosecuted as a hate crime. As a result, the sentence involved if there is a conviction in the case is going to be stiffer.

Should I have an attorney at my probation violation hearing?

In Massachusetts, I would say you’re basically crazy if you don’t have an attorney represent you in a probation violation. As a matter of fact, very often, you have an absolute right to be represented and if you can’t afford an attorney you’re indigent and the court will assign you somebody. But, the fact is, even if that‘s not the case, and you don’t qualify for court-appointed counsel, you got to have an attorney that’s experienced in dealing with probation violation hearings. They’re they’re animals in and of themselves, different from other criminal cases. And, without that representation, you’re probably going on a voyage.

What's the #1 mistake people make when arrested for domestic violence?

The number one mistake that I see people make when arrested in a domestic violence situation is not taking it seriously soon enough. It is critical to get an attorney involved who is experienced with these type of cases. Too often people figure, well the charges are going to be dropped, nobody's going to take it seriously, I just had an argument with my spouse. Don't think that way because the court doesn't think that way. Take it seriously from moment one.

Do I need to hire an attorney for a drug crime?

A person who has been arrested for a drug crime in all candor should hire a criminal defense attorney, although public defenders are available for persons who have been arrested for drug crimes, the better part about hiring a criminal defense attorney is that you have somebody that you can call, who can walk you through the process and who can give you the individual attention that you deserve while you are going through a foreign process that can have dire consequences for your future.

What are the chances of being acquitted in a murder case?

Your chances for acquittal in a murder case is going to depend on the circumstances and the strength of the prosecutions case, as well as your defense. You could have the weakest case in the world against you but if you have an attorney who doesn't know how to handle that case, you can be convicted. So the important thing, assuming you want to avoid life imprisonment, get the right attorney, an experienced attorney, who knows what they're doing to represent you, and fight.

Will I lose my license due to a vehicular assault conviction?

If you're convicted in Massachusetts for a vehicular assault crime, you absolutely can lose your license. It's almost a sure bet that the registry is going to try to take your license. However, it's not a done deal. My advice is you get counsel who knows how to handle these cases. Obviously, I would expect your attorney, if they're experienced at all, was planning for this possibility in the defense of your case, and they should be defending you with the registry to help you keep your license or at least get a Cinderella license, a license that you can use in order to go to work. I'm Sam Goldberg, lead counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I have 25 years of experience.

What's the #1 mistake people make after being arrested for armed assault?

The number one mistake that I see people make in assault cases, particulary assault and battery with a dangerous weapon cases, is to think that the authorities are going to see things the way they do. In other words, the defendant says "well I was justified because he said this and he said that and he got me angry and blah, blah, blah". Well the fact is, it's still a crime. But if they don't take it seriously from the beginning, they don't hire the right defense attorney to represent them seriously. And so that is the number one mistake, not taking it seriously, not hiring counsel and basically making all kinds of statements that end up hanging you down the road.
