Just because the police have incriminating evidence, it does not mean a complaint will be filed against you. The Law firm of Spada & Zullo, LLP, offers skilled representation at show cause/probable cause hearings in all of the District Courts of Massachusetts.
A show cause hearing is a hearing in which the police prosecutor, alleged victim, and the person charged may present or contest evidence before a magistrate.
The purpose of the show cause hearing is to determine if there is enough evidence to issue a criminal complaint and move forward with the charges against you. Any statements made by the accused at this stage can be used against him or her. It is crucial to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer for show cause hearings.
In Massachusetts, you have the right to a show cause hearing for most misdemeanors for which you have not been arrested.

- Minor in possession of alcohol
- Assault and battery
