What We Handle
Practice Areas
We defend clients across a full range of criminal charges in Worcester County courts. Every case receives our complete attention.
DUI / OUI
Facing a drunk driving charge in Massachusetts? We challenge evidence, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer results to protect your license and freedom.
Drug Charges
From simple possession to distribution allegations, we build strategic defenses that scrutinize every search, seizure, and chain of custody.
Assault & Battery
We examine the full context of every incident — witness accounts, physical evidence, and self-defense claims — to present your strongest case.
Domestic Violence
These charges carry serious consequences. We provide discreet, thorough representation and work to protect your rights from the first call.
Firearms Charges
Massachusetts firearms laws are complex. We navigate licensing issues, unlawful possession charges, and related allegations with precision.
Juvenile Defense
A young person's future should not be defined by a single mistake. We advocate fiercely within the juvenile justice system for fair outcomes.
Restraining Orders
Whether you are facing a restraining order or seeking to modify or vacate one, we provide skilled representation at every stage of the process.
Serious & Life Felonies
When the stakes are highest, experience matters most. We represent clients facing the most serious felony charges, including those carrying life sentences.
Hearings Before the Clerk Magistrate
A clerk magistrate hearing is an opportunity to prevent charges from ever being issued. We appear at these hearings and fight to stop cases before they start.
Violations of Probation
A probation violation can result in incarceration. We represent clients at surrender hearings and work to protect their liberty and probationary status.
SORB Hearings & Appeals
Sex offender classification carries lifelong consequences. We represent clients before the Sex Offender Registry Board to challenge or reduce classifications.
