Every charge is different.
Every defense is personal.

Felony convictions carry prison sentences, permanent record consequences, and the loss of fundamental rights. I build thorough, evidence-based defenses — investigating every detail, challenging the prosecution's case at every turn, and fighting for the best possible outcome whether at trial or through negotiation.

Includes

• Aggravated Assault charges
• Robbery & theft offenses
• Breaking & entering
• Weapons charges
• Sex offenses

Misdemeanor convictions follow you — affecting employment, housing, and professional licenses. I treat every misdemeanor case with the same rigor as a felony, pursuing dismissals, continuances without a finding, and other outcomes that keep your record clean.

Includes

• Disorderly conduct
• Trespassing
• Simple assault
• Shoplifting & larceny
• Vandalism & malicious destruction

An OUI arrest doesn't have to mean a conviction. I challenge every element of the Commonwealth's case — from the legality of the traffic stop to the reliability of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results. Whether it's a first offense or a repeat charge, I work to minimize consequences and protect your ability to drive.

Includes

• First & repeat OUI offenses
• Refusal to submit to testing
• DUI with injury or property damage
• License suspension hearings
• Reckless driving & speeding

Drug charges range from simple possession to distribution, and the consequences scale accordingly. I scrutinize every search and seizure, challenge chain-of-custody issues, and pursue diversion programs where available — keeping incarceration off the table whenever possible.

Includes

• Possession of controlled substances
• Possession with intent to distribute
• Distribution

Domestic violence charges move fast — restraining orders, mandatory arrest policies, and aggressive prosecution can upend your life before the facts are fully known. I provide immediate, strategic defense to protect your rights, your home, and your relationships from the outset.

Includes

• Assault & battery on a family/household member
• Violation of restraining orders & Harassment prevention orders
• Harassment & stalking
• Intimidation of a witness
• Emergency protective order hearings

The juvenile justice system is designed for rehabilitation, but a record can still follow a young person into adulthood. I advocate for outcomes that protect futures — diversion programs and alternatives to detention that give young clients a real second chance.

Includes

• Juvenile delinquency proceedings
• Youthful offender cases
• Clerk Magistrate Hearings
• Expungement & record sealing
• Diversion Programs

Mental health issues can profoundly affect criminal culpability, competency, and sentencing. I work directly with mental health professionals to build defenses that reflect the full circumstances of my clients — pursuing diversion to treatment, competency evaluations, and outcomes that address the root cause rather than simply punishing it.

Includes

• Competency to stand trial evaluations
• Not guilty by reason of insanity
• Mental health diversion programs
• Sentencing mitigation based on mental health
• Mental Health Court

Substance abuse underlies many criminal charges, and the justice system increasingly recognizes that treatment is more effective than incarceration. I advocate for diversion to rehabilitation programs, challenge the evidence against my clients, and work to secure outcomes that address addiction rather than simply adding a conviction to someone's record.

Includes

• Drug diversion & treatment programs
• OUI Drugs & substance-related OUI
• Possession linked to addiction
• Probation violations involving substance use
• Norfolk County Recovery Court Attorney - Quincy District Court
