A Personal Approach To State And Federal Criminal Defense

Building a good defense includes getting to know each client, their needs and their goals. In addition to my research and case preparation, I make sure that I personally sit down and talk to every client so I understand his or her unique life story. This allows me to make a more effective presentation that includes a complete picture of the person, as well as the unique circumstances present in the case. Such details are often critical in achieving a successful resolution in a criminal case.

I can represent anyone charged with a crime in Massachusetts: adults, college students and juveniles. As a former prosecutor, I know how the state will pursue your case — and how to beat them.

Moving Your Life Forward After An Injury
Getting the compensation you need after a personal injury or wrongful death is often more complex than people realize. You may need a lawyer to fight the insurance company for you. I will investigate your claim, use appropriate experts and visual aids to create a compelling case for compensation that covers all of your losses.

Put A Former Prosecutor In Your Corner

When you’re facing criminal charges, you want experience on your side. I am a former prosecutor who worked on thousands of cases as an assistant district attorney. During my criminal defense career, I have tried over 100 bench and jury trials in the District Court, Superior Court and Federal District Court. I have represented hundreds of arrestees in bail arguments in District and Superior courts of Massachusetts. I have also appeared as lead counsel in dozens of appeals before the Massachusetts Appeals Court and Supreme Judicial Court. This extensive trial experience gives me an advantage in strategic case preparation, strong negotiation tactics and finely honed trial skills.

I will fight aggressively for you, as I know the negative consequences a criminal conviction can have on one’s life. We will sit down and talk and I will address your concerns and needs. I can be a better advocate for you when I know how to present your case. I am familiar with the tactics prosecutors use to obtain convictions and I can help you successfully navigate your way through the criminal justice system.
