Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Re: accused of larceny

You have not provided any specific information. The specific facts can tell me if you have any defenses, or if the commonwealth can even prove their case. The likely penalty depends on these. So if you want to provide me with more information, or want to contact me, get in touch with my office or call me at 978.749.3606.

Re: accused of larceny

Larceny over $250 is a felony charge with a maximum penalty of 2.5 years in the House of Correction if the case stays in District Court. If the case is indicted it would then go to Superior Court and a state prison sentence would be possible. In most cases--someone with no record would not go to jail but it all depends upon the facts of the case and the value of the property that was taken. If you would like to tell me more about the facts I could probably give you a better answer. Please feel free to contact me further. Martha Kovner
