Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

Re: what can I do to get the charges of a assult(domestic) dropped?

Hire an attorney immediately. Your attorney is in the best position to determine the strength of the case and attempt to negotiate with the involves parties, ie the alleged victim and the prosecutor.

what can I do to get the charges of a assault (domestic) dropped?

This depends on the contents of the police report, the allegations of the victim, your criminal record, and the cooperation of the alleged victim.

The Commonwealth usually has a policy not to drop charges in such cases.
