Top best Criminal Lawyers in ZIP 02210 | 16 available

I am a trial attorney practicing civil and criminal litigation in state and federal courts including the district, superior, and appellate courts as well as civil litigation in the Land Court.  My practice includes general business litigation, real property and title claims, tax abatements, brokerage disputes and employment law.  I have significant experience in criminal law as a former Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division of the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office prosecuting white collar crimes and homicides, and as a criminal defense lawyer with a Massachusetts firm before joining Bernkopf Goodman in 1981.  During my career, I have tried numerous jury cases, and have substantial appellate court experience, and have been a frequent participant in the resolution of cases through mediation.  Recently, I obtained a substantial jury verdict in Suffolk Superior Court in favor of a real estate brokerage firm, successfully represented a national title company in a lengthy arbitration proceeding involving a title dispute with a golf course owner, and on behalf of a securities firm and its broker, favorably resolved through mediation an investor’s claim filed in an arbitration proceeding with the Financial Industry Regulation Authority.

I am a determined advocate and skilled criminal defense litigator representing individuals facing investigations and charges in state courts across Massachusetts. Prior to joining Lawson & Weitzen in 2014, I was Staff Attorney and a Supervising Attorney with the Committee for Public Counsel Services Public Defender Division, where I gained invaluable trial experience and an intimate knowledge about the inner workings of our criminal justice system. With significant courtroom and trial experience, my extensive knowledge of criminal law and commitment to and zeal for justice enables me to provide clients with strong, unwavering, and effective advocacy.. My experience and familiarity with the often-evolving law allows me to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of available defenses and to advance particular case strategies on behalf of clients. I have represented clients charged with cases ranging from drug offenses, domestic violence, sex crimes, property offenses, to motor vehicle offenses. I also advise clients on how to minimize their contact with the criminal justice system, including guiding them through police investigations, Clerk Magistrate hearings, and pre-trial diversion options.. Since the numerous changes implemented from the recent Criminal Justice Reform Act, I also represent individuals seeking to seal or expunge prior criminal records (G.L. c. 276 § 100A-K). My practice also includes various other collateral criminal matters including obtaining or defending against restraining orders (G.L. c. 209A) and harassment prevention orders (G.L. c. 258E), and matters involving the Sex Offender Registry Board.

Attorney with both courtroom and law office experience currently working as a Litigation Associate at Lawson & Weitzen LLP in Boston, Massachusetts. Sworn into both the State and Federal Bar of Massachusetts, as well as the State and Federal Bar of Rhode Island. Selected by Super Lawyers as a 2021 and 2022 Rising Star.
