Individuals may access Suffolk County court records online through the Massachusetts Trial Court Case Access Portal.

PACER generally maintains federal case files electronically, which may be accessed by registering for an account. While account registration is free, users are typically required to pay certain fees to access court records.

In-Person

Suffolk County, MA court records may be accessed in person by visiting the relevant courthouse in custody of the sought records. Typically, each court has a clerk whose responsibilities include keeping records of cases heard by the court. Before visiting, interested persons may contact the clerk's office of the relevant court to inquire about the requirements for accessing court records in person. Depending on the court, a requester may be asked to submit a written request or an application form.

Alternatively, some courthouses in Suffolk County have public-access computers where anyone may access court case information or records. Anyone who intends to obtain copies of court records is typically required to pay a fee. Each court charges $2.50 per page for attested copies prepared by the clerk and $0.05 per page for unattested copies.

Old and Archived Court Records

Persons who wish to find historic Suffolk County court records may consider looking up records maintained by the Massachusetts Archives. These are records that are no longer available online or in the custody of court clerks. To obtain such court records, interested individuals may contact the State Archives at:

Massachusetts Archives

220 Morrissey Blvd.

Phone: (617) 727-2816

Email: archives@sec.state.ma.us

Alternatively, old court records in Suffolk County may be accessed by submitting requests to the Trial Court Record Centers through the courts of origin.

How To File a Case in Suffolk County

Before filing a case in Suffolk County, a person must identify the relevant court that has jurisdiction to hear the case. In addition to determining the court, it is also important that the plaintiff contacts the clerk of the court to ascertain whether the court is authorized to handle the case they intend to file. Afterward, the person will have to decide how to file the case.

In Suffolk County, an interested individual may file a case in person at the relevant courthouse clerk's office or file it electronically with the participating courts in the county through eFileMA. Also, certain cases, like small claims, may be filed with the appropriate courts by mail. Each court in the county may have varying case filing requirements, so it is important to make thorough inquiries with the clerk's office.

Filing a court case in the county may attract some fees. Generally, these fees vary by court and the type of case, as outlined in the Court Filing Fees and Payment Information. However, individuals who need to be in court but cannot afford court costs and fees may have such costs waived.

To qualify for a waiver, a person will have to file a completed Affidavit of Indigency and Supplement to Affidavit of Indigency (if applicable) with the clerk of the court. The clerk will typically approve it immediately for normal costs and grant a fee waiver. They may also approve it if the request is for extra costs. However, the clerk must present any request not approved to a judge within 5 days, after which the judge may approve the request without a hearing. Nevertheless, the applicant may get a hearing if the judge needs to review the Affidavit of Indigency.

The following steps are generally required to file a case in Suffolk County:

  • Determine the case type.
  • Draft the petition or complaint, depending on the case type. The complaint or petition must clearly describe the account of events that necessitated the lawsuit and identify the parties involved (plaintiffs and defendants). Available evidence, affidavits, exhibits, and any documents to support the case should also be attached to the complaint or petition. Note that the District Attorney's Office is largely responsible for taking up criminal cases on behalf of county residents.
  • Identify any court-specific requirements and fulfill them. This may include using court-approved forms.
  • File the petition or complaint with the relevant court.

Legal Help and Self-Help Resources

Across the United States, county court systems play a crucial role in delivering access to justice.
