Legal Question in Criminal Law in Massachusetts

The charge would not be dropped at arraignment. However, if the allegation is bogus and there was really no probable cause to believe a crime had been committedin the first place, there is a slight possibility of having the complaint withdrawn. This is not easy to do, however, and would take a skilled attorney and the right set of underlying circumstances. In any event, if you are concerned about getting the best possible result out of this, I suggest that you hire a skilled criminal attorney. Good luck.

Retain an attorney immediately to give you your best chance of keeping your record to a minimum. Good Luck!
