Plymouth's Courts

Plymouth District Court

Located at 52 Obery Street in Plymouth, Plymouth District Court handles arraignments, bail hearings, misdemeanor trials, and preliminary felony proceedings for residents of Plymouth, Carver, Duxbury, Kingston, Pembroke, and Plympton. This is where most Plymouth criminal cases begin.

The courtroom environment at Plymouth District Court is busy, and navigating it effectively requires familiarity with its procedures, assistant district attorneys, and judicial expectations. Attorney Sofio regularly appears in Plymouth District Court and brings that local knowledge to every client's case.

Plymouth Superior Court

Also at 52 Obery Street, Plymouth Superior Court handles serious felony matters and complex civil litigation for all of Plymouth County. Cases that begin in any Plymouth County District Court may be elevated to Superior Court when the charges warrant a jury trial or carry substantial potential penalties.

Plymouth County Probate and Family Court

Plymouth County Probate and Family Court, also located at 52 Obery Street in Plymouth, handles all divorce, custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, and estate matters for Plymouth County — including residents of Plymouth, Brockton, Rockland, and all surrounding communities.

Attorney Sofio is experienced across all three of these Plymouth courthouses.

Criminal Defense for Plymouth Residents

Plymouth is a large, geographically spread-out community — spanning coastal areas, rural stretches, and busy commercial corridors. Criminal charges can arise in very different contexts here: an OUI on Route 3 or Route 44, a drug offense, a domestic dispute in a residential neighborhood, or a charge related to tourism and nightlife activity downtown near the waterfront.

Whatever the circumstances, Attorney Sofio's approach is consistent: understand the facts, challenge every weakness in the prosecution's case, and pursue the best possible outcome for you.

OUI / DUI Defense
Plymouth-area OUI arrests often occur on major state highways and tourist routes. Attorney Sofio handles the full scope of OUI defense — from the Registry of Motor Vehicles license hearing (which has strict deadlines) to the criminal court proceedings — challenging the stop, sobriety testing, and breath test evidence.

Drug Charges
Plymouth County has been significantly affected by the opioid crisis, and drug charges are treated seriously by local prosecutors. Attorney Sofio works to explore every available option: dismissal for lack of probable cause, diversion programs, treatment-based alternatives, and aggressive trial defense when necessary.

Firearms Offenses
Massachusetts imposes some of the nation's strictest firearm laws, with mandatory minimums for certain charges. Plymouth clients facing firearms charges need experienced legal counsel immediately — the early stages of the case are critical.

Assault, Domestic Violence & 209A
A restraining order hearing can happen within days of an incident, and a domestic assault charge can affect your living situation, your employment, and your rights almost immediately. Attorney Sofio responds quickly to protect your interests from the outset.

Juvenile Matters
For young people in Plymouth facing delinquency charges, the goal is preserving their future. Attorney Sofio pursues alternatives to adjudication — diversion, CWOFs, and programs that keep a youthful mistake from following someone for life.

Divorce & Family Law for Plymouth Families

Plymouth is home to a diverse mix of families — multi-generational households, military families, coastal property owners, and young families in newer subdivisions. Divorce and family law disputes touch all of these communities.

Plymouth County Probate and Family Court handles your divorce, custody, and support case. Attorney Sofio guides Plymouth clients through:

Divorce — Contested and uncontested; addressing the division of real estate, retirement accounts, business interests, and other assets

High-Conflict Custody Disputes — Parenting plans, Guardian ad Litem (GAL) processes, relocation disputes

Child Support — Calculation under the Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines, enforcement, and modification

Military Divorce Considerations — For Plymouth families with active-duty or reserve military members

Paternity — Establishing parental rights and obligations for unmarried parents

Post-Divorce Modifications — Custody, support, and parenting plan adjustments when life changes

Estate Planning for Plymouth Residents

Coastal property ownership, family businesses, and multigenerational wealth are common concerns among Plymouth-area families. Attorney Sofio helps Plymouth residents create clear, practical estate plans — including wills that specify how real estate should be handled, powers of attorney for healthcare and financial decisions, and trusts where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions — Plymouth, MA

Where is Plymouth District Court located?
Plymouth District Court is located at 52 Obery Street, Plymouth, MA 02360. Plymouth Superior Court and Plymouth County Probate and Family Court are at the same address.

How far is Sofio Law from Plymouth?
Our office in Rockland is approximately 20–25 minutes from Plymouth via Route 3 and Route 44. We regularly appear at Plymouth courts.

I was arrested in Plymouth. What should I do first?
Call an attorney immediately — before speaking with police. Attorney Sofio can be reached at (774) 801-9774. Arraignment typically happens quickly after arrest, and having representation at that stage matters enormously.

What's the difference between District Court and Superior Court for my case?
District Court handles most misdemeanors and lower-level felonies. If your charge is a serious felony, carries significant prison time, or involves a jury trial, your case will likely move to Superior Court. Attorney Sofio handles both levels.

Can you handle my divorce and a related criminal matter at the same time?
Yes. It is not uncommon for a domestic situation to generate both a criminal charge and a related family law matter (restraining order, custody proceedings). Sofio Law handles both, providing consistent counsel across both proceedings.
