Protecting your rights, your record, and your freedom. When you're facing criminal charges in Massachusetts, you need an aggressive defense team fighting for your future — every step of the way.
From first-time offenses to serious felony charges — experienced defense throughout Massachusetts.
Charged with Driving Under the Influence (OUI in Massachusetts)? A conviction can mean license loss, fines, and jail time. We challenge breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, and traffic stops to protect your record and your license.
From simple possession to distribution and trafficking, drug charges carry severe consequences including prison and immigration penalties. We scrutinize search warrants, police procedures, and evidence to build the strongest defense possible.

Domestic violence accusations can devastate your life — affecting custody, housing, employment, and immigration status. We defend clients facing 209A restraining orders and domestic assault charges with discretion and skill.
A strategic, aggressive approach designed to protect your rights at every stage.
We listen carefully to your side of the story, review the charges and police reports, and explain your legal options in a confidential, no-cost consultation.
We thoroughly investigate the facts, interview witnesses, challenge the prosecution's evidence, and uncover any violations of your constitutional rights.
We leverage our experience with Massachusetts courts to negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges, dismissals, or favorable plea agreements whenever possible.
When trial is the best path forward, we fight relentlessly in the courtroom — presenting a powerful defense and holding the prosecution to its burden of proof.
We fight for the best possible outcome in every case — whether that means dismissal, reduced charges, acquittal, or the most favorable plea. Your freedom is our priority.
We speak English, Português, and Español. Clear communication is critical in criminal cases — we make sure you understand every step and every option.
Arrests don't wait for business hours. Our criminal defense team is available around the clock for emergencies, arrests, and urgent legal questions — because time matters.
