Understanding Trespassing Charges in Massachusetts
Trespassing in Massachusetts is defined under M.G.L. Chapter 266, Section 120, which prohibits entering or remaining on someone else's property without permission. Trespassing charges may stem from actions such as:
🔹 Entering private property (home, business, or land) without authorization
🔹 Staying on property after being asked to leave by the owner or lawful occupant
🔹 Accessing restricted areas, like fenced or posted land, without consent
Key elements of a trespassing offense include:
📜 Lack of Permission: The prosecution must prove you entered or remained on the property without legal authorization.
🧠 Intent: While intent to commit a crime isn't always required, it can escalate related charges.
🚨 Notice: Charges may hinge on whether the property was clearly marked or you were explicitly told to leave.
Our Lynn criminal defense lawyers meticulously review evidence to challenge the prosecution's case, exploring defenses like lack of notice, mistaken belief of permission, or public access rights.

A trespassing conviction in Massachusetts is typically a misdemeanor, with penalties including:
⛓️ Up to 30 days in jail and/or fines up to $100
📝 Potential criminal record, community service, or probation
