Top Personal Injury Lawyers in ZIP 01103 | 7 available

The clients I represent are focused on obtaining results. I take very seriously my responsibility in helping them achieve those results. In my view, the practice of law is driven by results, not intentions. These results can be achieved by a wide variety of means, all of which I make available to my clients.

I began practicing law in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in 2000.  I returned to Springfield in 2003 and have been representing people, as a trial lawyer, in both the civil and criminal courts of Massachusetts ever since.

Having tried several hundred cases, I can certainly argue any set of facts; after more than 26 years in practice, I am confident that I know evidence and the law; but as you can see from my background - I also know virtually all of the players.  This combination has provided my clients with consistently successful and outstanding results.  I have been a resident of Western Massachusetts for my entire life.  After serving as a prosecutor in Hampshire County, I was recruited to work in the litigation department of one of the most prestigious firms in Springfield.  I handled a wide array of civil and criminal litigation as the lead counsel.. I regularly represent defendants for drunk driving, firearms, larceny (theft) and drug cases.  I also handle all college crimes and casino crimes.  If you stopped at MGM Springfield and were arrested or are facing a criminal violation for something that happened while at an area college, call me now.  These cases can impact your future.. I have helped men and women that have faced offenses that stem from a breakdown of marriage, dating, or other relationships. I have tried hundreds of these cases and have dismissed or plead many hundreds more. As a former domestic violence prosecutor, I understand the cycle of violence and what factors influence fact finders to conclude that the allegations are false. I can help you through your charge of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, or if a restraining order has been placed against you.  Often, These crimes, if you are convicted, can have serious, long-lasting implications on your future. As a result, you need a strong, knowledgeable, and fearless advocate on your side to help protect your rights and defend your name. When it comes to the law, I do everything I can to help my clients achieve the best possible outcome.  I also use this to represent plaintiffs and defendants on Restraining Orders and c. 285 Criminal Harassment Orders.. If you are dealing with abuse allegations from a present or former spouse, partner, family member, neighbor, student, or significant other, you may feel like you have nowhere to turn. Domestic assault and battery charges are extremely common in the state of Massachusetts and can have serious implications. Many people are faced with false allegations of sexual assault and/or domestic violence in order to sway the outcome of custody and support in divorce proceedings.. These charges may also impact your financial advisor, nursing, teaching, or childcare licenses. I will also assist clients with ancillary mattes which stem from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) involvement, such as investigations and appeals. Schedule a free consultation with me today so you can receive the aggressive and skilled representation that you deserve.. I also regularly represent men and women in all District and Superior courts throughout Western or Central Massachusetts in a wide variety of sexual crimes, including indecent assault and battery, statutory rape, forcible rape, and (aggravated) rape of an adult or child, open and gross lewdness, prostitution, lewd, wanton and lascivious acts, dissemination and possession of obscene materials, and pornography charges.. If you or a loved one has been charged with a sex crime, you need an experienced attorney who will listen to you, investigate thoroughly, and prove your case. You are likely experiencing a range of emotions, from fear and confusion to anger and outrage. Being accused of a sex crime is an extremely serious matter that has the potential for lifelong material consequences. Along with a possible lengthy prison sentence, hefty fees, and a criminal record, sex offenses carry the additional burden of requiring registration as a sex offender.. A sex offense conviction will have severe consequences on your life, employment, and even basic civil rights. It is absolutely critical that you retain the representation of a skilled sex crimes attorney. Your future depends upon it.. I will look closely into suspect police investigative practices to make sure that my client’s rights were not violated. In many cases, motion to suppress the evidence can be filed and successfully argued. I will do whatever is required to prove my client’s innocence.. If you were arrested anywhere in Western or Central Massachusetts, turn to me for trusted, aggressive criminal defense representation. I will work diligently to help you pursue a satisfying result.
