Domestic Violence in Revere

What should Revere readers know first?

Revere domestic-violence cases typically run two parallel tracks: a criminal charge in the local District Court (assault and battery on a family or household member under M.G.L. c. 265 sec. 13M, restraining-order violation under c. 209A sec. 7) and a civil 209A or 258E petition with a 10-day return hearing. Where the parties share a child or are presently married, related parenting orders move in the Suffolk County Probate and Family Court. The intake call evaluates the matter and the firm either handles it directly or connects the client with a Massachusetts criminal-defense partner attorney at no extra cost.

Where are Revere cases of this kind heard?

For readers in Revere, the following Suffolk County courts hear this category of matter:

• Boston Municipal Court 24 New Chardon Street, Boston, MA 02114 criminal arraignment and 209A and 258E petition return hearings
• Suffolk County Probate and Family Court 24 New Chardon Street, Boston, MA 02114 parallel parenting orders and 209A petitions involving spouses or co-parents
• Suffolk County Superior Court 3 Pemberton Square, Boston, MA 02108 felony domestic-violence cases bound over after probable-cause hearing

Filing in the wrong forum is a procedural setback rather than a permanent bar, but it costs time. Counsel routes the matter to the correct court at intake.

How do I reach counsel from Revere?

The shortest path between a Revere reader and a Jim Glaser Law attorney is the telephone number printed on this page. The intake desk routes the call, the substantive attorney call follows at no charge, and the written fee agreement (if the matter is accepted) governs everything that follows. Nothing in the agreement obligates the client to advance attorney fees on a contingency case before there is a recovery; the agreement also spells out which case-related costs the firm fronts and which it bills back at conclusion.

Revere sits in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, with a population of approximately 62,186 per the most recent Census estimate. Suffolk County matters of this category are heard and administered through the appropriate Suffolk County forums and are evaluated under the same Massachusetts framework that applies to every domestic violence matter in the Commonwealth.

Revere's case mix tracks the city's role as a coastal Suffolk County working-class community served by the MBTA Blue Line: pedestrian incidents around the Revere Beach, Wonderland, and Beachmont stations; auto-accident matters along the Route 1A and Route 60 corridors; premises-liability matters from the multi-family housing stock concentrated along the Beach corridor and in Beachmont; workers compensation matters from the smaller industrial, hospitality, and retail employers; and a substantial Spanish-language and Portuguese-language share that makes Revere a routine source of Spanish ask-extension queries. Revere was incorporated as a town in 1846 and as a city in 1914. The city covers roughly 6 square miles on the coast immediately north of Boston. Revere ZIP code is 02151, and the city is served by the MBTA Blue Line at Wonderland, Revere Beach, and Beachmont stations.
