Brockton District Court

Dedicated Criminal Defense Lawyer Defending the Freedom of Clients Throughout Plymouth County

Brockton has undergone tremendous change in recent years, which may be part of why the city suffers from a staggeringly high crime rate. As police try to do what they can to get a handle on the growing number of crimes, they also run the risk of over-policing. And while prosecutors are charged with seeking justice rather than seeking a conviction, in reality, most Plymouth County prosecutors assume every word in a police report is true. If you have a criminal case in Brockton District Court, you need an attorney who is ready to stand up for your rights at every step of the way. At the Law Office of Patrick J. Murphy, our Plymouth County criminal defense lawyer aggressively defends the rights of individuals facing all types of crimes in Brockton District Court.

The court’s phone number is 508-587-8000. The courthouse provides a limited number of free parking spaces; however, you may want to show up early as these spaces typically fill up quickly.

Brockton Police Reports

If you were recently arrested in Brockton, you may want to obtain a copy of the police report related to your arrest. This can provide you with important information about the arrest as well as give you a better idea of the crime the government claims you committed. To get a copy of a police report, you must submit a public records request to the Keeper of the Records with the Brockton Police Department. You can submit a request in person, through email, or over the phone by calling 508-897-5209.

While most police reports are publicly available, those pertaining to certain crimes are not.
