Everett Overview
Everett Felony Records and the Middlesex County Courts
Everett does not have its own dedicated district court. Felony cases from the city go through the Malden District Court at 89 Summer Street in Malden, which can be reached at (781) 322-7900. That court handles arraignments, bail hearings, and early proceedings for Everett cases. Felonies that go to full trial or carry state prison sentences move to the Middlesex County Superior Court at 200 TradeCenter in Woburn. The superior court clerk's office handles public records requests and can be reached at (781) 939-2700.
Because Everett cases are processed through Malden District Court, records for the arraignment phase will be filed there under a Malden docket number. If the case moves to superior court, it gets a separate Woburn docket number. Knowing both is useful when you are searching for records. MassCourts at masscourts.org covers both courts and lets you search by name to find where a case currently sits and what its status is.
MassCourts shows charges, docket history, hearing dates, and case outcomes for public records. Sealed records and juvenile cases do not appear. For certified copies or full case files, contact the clerk's office at either court directly. Both courts accept in-person and mail requests for public documents. Come prepared with the full name of the person involved, the approximate year, and a docket number if you have it.

Massachusetts law treats arrests that did not lead to conviction differently from those that did. Non-conviction arrests may be sealed from public CORI reports under MGL Chapter 276.
