How a Taunton Criminal Case Moves Through Court
A criminal charge in Taunton begins at Taunton District Court, part of the Massachusetts Trial Court’s District Court Department. This is where arraignment takes place, where bail and dangerousness determinations are made, and where the prosecution must establish probable cause for felony charges outside the District Court’s final jurisdiction.
Felony cases that proceed to indictment don’t stay at the District Court level. They move to a Bristol County Superior Court session, and the session located in Taunton hears only criminal matters for the county. That means a serious felony charge, whether it involves assault, drug trafficking, or a white collar offense, can follow a longer path before it reaches a jury. Our attorneys know both venues and represent clients from the first hearing through trial.

"Would highly recommend this law office!"
The Law office of Frank Camera has been wonderful to work with for the past year and a half. Mr. Camera has been helpful, direct and understanding from the initial contact, even while we were under considerable stress. He was supportive and kept us current on all legal matters...a true professional. He has a great relationship with people he works with, from district attorneys to judges. Mr. Camera never made promises, but kept us hopeful for a workable outcome. Mr. Camera's secretary, Wendy, has been very helpful, understanding, sympathetic and professional. If she doesn't know an answer to a question, she finds out and gets back to you in a timely manner. Would highly recommend this law office!- J.P. -
