What to expect at Lowell District Court
Lowell District Court sits in the Lowell Justice Center at 370 Jackson Street, the modern courthouse that opened in 2020. Older directories and paperwork sometimes still show the court's former home at 41 Hurd Street — go to Jackson Street. It is one of the busiest district courts in Middlesex County, drawing cases from six communities.
Most district court cases start at arraignment, where the charge is read, a plea of not guilty is entered for you, and conditions of release are set. From there the case moves to a pretrial conference, then to discovery, motions, and — if it does not resolve — trial. Some matters begin earlier, at a clerk-magistrate hearing, where a criminal complaint can sometimes be prevented from ever issuing. That hearing is one of the most valuable moments in the whole process, and it is easy to miss its importance if you go in alone.
Attorney Reinhardt has spent more than 30 years in Massachusetts criminal courts, including years as a Committee for Public Counsel Services attorney. He handles the appearance, deals with the prosecutor, and tells you plainly what your options are — before you have to decide anything.

Do I have to go to court myself?
For most charges you are required to appear at arraignment, and you should assume you need to be there unless your attorney tells you otherwise. In some matters an attorney can appear on your behalf. What you should not do is skip a date — a missed appearance typically results in a default and a warrant, which makes everything that follows harder.
What does a consultation cost?
