Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice represents clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges in Massachusetts and federal courts. With over 30 years of experience, we handle complex cases from arraignment through appellate proceedings. Our approach combines constitutional challenge expertise with strategic negotiation to achieve dismissals, reduced charges, or trial victories.
Drug Crimes
We defend clients against Massachusetts drug charges including possession, trafficking, and intent to distribute. Our strategy focuses on evidence suppression, constitutional violations, and challenging prosecution's intent claims. With deep knowledge of drug sentencing laws, we work to minimize penalties and protect clients' futures through dismissals or reduced charges.
Sex Crimes
Our firm handles rape, indecent assault, and sex offender registration cases. We challenge evidence credibility, build alibis, and protect clients' rights during police interactions. With understanding of these charges' lifelong consequences, we pursue dismissals or alternative resolutions to avoid registration requirements and social stigma.
Federal Crimes
We represent clients in federal criminal cases across multiple jurisdictions. Our experience includes complex white-collar crimes, drug trafficking, and interstate offenses. We navigate federal sentencing guidelines while challenging evidence admissibility and prosecutorial overreach to achieve favorable outcomes in grand jury proceedings and trials.
Clerk Magistrate Hearings
We handle show cause hearings to prevent criminal charges from being issued. By presenting evidence and challenging probable cause, we often resolve cases before formal prosecution. This proactive approach avoids criminal records through dismissal agreements or alternative dispute resolution strategies.
