Criminal Law

Your Criminal Defense Advocate

When you are facing criminal charges, you need to be able to trust your lawyer to protect your rights. Your attorney should spend time with you, explaining the criminal defense process and making sure that you understand every aspect of your case. Your future is on the line. You deserve to know where you stand.

With 20 years of legal experience, I have a reputation for aggressively protecting my clients and skillfully negotiating with prosecutors in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.

Contact me to schedule a free consultation. I will personally handle your defense from start to finish, keeping you informed every step of the way.

My Approach to Criminal Defense

Every client has a unique situation. Misdemeanors and felonies carry varying consequences, and each individual has different priorities. I will work to understand your needs and develop a defense strategy that is tailored to you. I have extensive experience representing clients against misdemeanors and felonies such as:

  • Drunk driving (DUI/DWI)
  • Fraud and white collar crimes
  • Assault and battery
  • Domestic violence
  • Shoplifting
  • Burglary and home invasion

I take a practical approach to every case. When it is warranted, I will be your aggressive advocate. However, it is often more productive to tactfully work with all of the parties involved to reach an acceptable plea. I will do whatever is necessary to protect your rights.

Keeping You Informed

Communication with my clients is vitally important. Facing criminal charges is difficult enough - being kept in the dark about your case will only increase your stress. I take the extra time with clients to explain how the laws apply to their case, discuss strengths and weaknesses in their arguments and give them a clear idea of the financial costs of negotiation and courtroom litigation.

I will handle every aspect of your case — talking to witnesses, searching records and defending you in negotiation and litigation. Call 866-654-2431 or contact me online to schedule a free consultation.
