Why Do I Need a Legal Represenation at Bedford Municipal Court?
If you’ve been arrested in Bedford, get experienced legal help right away. Do not attempt to explain your situation to the police unless you have a criminal defense lawyer at your side. Statements you make will be used to build the case against you and, unfortunately, most people don’t have the expertise to avoid saying things that the cops can construe as admissions of guilt, intent, or other elements of a criminal case.
The consequences for conviction on a criminal matter can be far-reaching, affecting your family, career, and reputation for years to come. We protect our client’s rights by ensuring that prosecutors meet every single standard in the case they present, including properly collected and handled evidence, witness statements and testimony, and everything else they’ll use to try to convict you. We push back at everything and force them to go above and beyond if they want to win. In the best case, prosecutors will choose not to follow through on charges where the evidence is weak or flawed and your matter is simply dismissed with no penalties to you.

Cate Purdum was present, attentive, always returned my calls (I had attorneys before who never call you back), answered my questions and never ignored my calls. If I ever need an attorney in the future I will definitely go back to her.

Catherine Meehan did an amazing job. Very responsive, friendly, and obviously very good with words. She kept me out of jail and home with my kiddo. For that I can't ever repay the favor. Much appreciated hope I never need your assistance again but if so I'll definitely give you a call. Thank you again.
