How To Address A Property Damage Charge
If you are charged with property damage, immediate action is critical. Don’t discuss anything with the authorities. First, exercise your right to remain silent. Avoid discussing the case with authorities, especially during questioning – you have the right to have an attorney present with you during questioning. Next, gather evidence and documentation that support your claim. Also, do not discuss the case with anyone other than your attorney.
Penalties For A Property Damage Conviction
The penalties for property damage crimes in Massachusetts can vary, as these charges can be both misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanor property damage convictions can result in fines and imprisonment in the house of correction. Felony property damage convictions, on the other hand, can result in expensive fines and imprisonment in state prison.
