Your Attorney
John C. Rapone
Criminal Defense Attorney
I founded Law Office of John C. Rapone in Quincy, MA on a simple belief: every person facing criminal charges deserves a fierce, focused advocate in their corner — not a case number in a crowded docket.
With over a decade of criminal defense experience in Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Plymouth Counties, I've stood beside clients through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. I know the system, I know the courts, and I know how to build a defense that gives you the best possible outcome.
When you work with me, you work directly with me — not a paralegal, not a junior associate. Your case gets my full attention from the first call to the final verdict.
Don't Wait
Facing charges?
Every hour matters.
The decisions made in the first hours and days after an arrest can shape the entire outcome of your case. The sooner we talk, the more I can do for you.
Confidential. No obligation. Available 24/7.
