Concord District Court

Dedicated Criminal Defense Attorney Skillfully Defending Clients Throughout Middlesex County

Concord is one of the safest Boston suburbs. However, the fact that the rate of serious crime is low enables law enforcement to focus their efforts on investigating crimes that may be considered minor elsewhere in the state. And, given the low crime rate, prosecutors and judges take an especially harsh stance against crime. The result is that if you have a criminal case in Concord District Court, you need a Middlesex criminal defense attorney who knows what to expect and how to effectively defend against the allegations. At the Law Office of Patrick J. Murphy, Attorney Murphy has nearly three decades of experience handling cases in Concord District Court. Over this time, he’s come to know many of the local judges and prosecutors, giving him insight into which defenses are best suited in each case.

Where to Go to Court After a Concord Arrest

In Massachusetts, most criminal cases, with the exception of those in Boston, are heard at the district court level. There are more than 60 district courts across the state, each serving a handful of nearby cities. The Concord District Court handles all cases out of Concord, Lincoln, Carlisle, Lexington, Acton, Bedford, Maynard, and Stow.

The address of the courthouse is:

305 Walden Street
Concord, MA 01742

If you are driving, you can park for free at the courthouse. However, the Concord District Court is also accessible from the Fitchburg/South Acton line of the MBTA. Just get off at the Concord Stop and walk or take a rideshare about 1.2 miles to the courthouse. If you need to contact the court, you can reach the court clerk by calling 978-369-0500.

Should You Get a Copy of Your Police Report?

After an arrest, it may feel as though there is little you can do to protect yourself from the inevitable. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. One of the first things you can do after getting arrested is requesting a copy of the police report generated after your arrest.

However, if you are facing certain charges, such as allegations of domestic violence or witness intimidation, you may be prevented from obtaining a copy of the police report. However, a Concord criminal defense attorney can provide you with a redacted copy of all the discovery related to your case.
