How to Beat Your Clerk Magistrate's Hearing: A guide to fighting and winning clerk's hearings in Massachusetts courts.

By Russell J Matson Esq

A Clerk Magistrate's hearing is an obscure yet important part of criminal justice system in Massachusetts criminal cases. When used correctly, it is a powerful opportunity for a defendant to avoid a more serious, time-consuming, and costly legal defense.Even when you and everyone in the courtroom know you are guilty, we can still often get a case completely dropped. That means no criminal record, or any documentation that you were ever arrested or accused of a crime. That's the power of the Clerk's hearing. With less formal rules of evidence, and the wide discretion available to Clerk Magistrate's to dispense with minor offenses, this is very often your first and best chance to beat a potential criminal charge, and get back to your life.
