Relentless Advocacy.
In criminal cases, the government’s vast resources can put defendants at a major disadvantage, resulting in a substantial power imbalance. To fix this imbalance and ensure fairness, the justice system relies on constitutional rights.
As a skilled criminal defense lawyer, I fight this imbalance by using every safeguard to protect your rights. Whether facing minor misdemeanors or serious felonies, I deliver a strong, customized defense for your case.
Recent Victories
Not Guilty Verdict
OUI (MA, 2025)
A client was charged with Operating Under the Influence after a single car accident on I-95, where police found four open containers. After a full day of trial and aggressive cross examination, the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict in 15 minutes.
Case Dismissed
Driving on a Suspended License (RI, 2023)
A client was facing mandatory jail time after being found behind the wheel with a suspended license. I argued that the stop was unconstitutional, and the court agreed. The case was dismissed just days before Christmas.
Case Dismissed
Felony Wiretap (MA, 2025)
My client was charged under the Massachusetts wiretap statute after recording her own assault to preserve evidence. I successfully advocated for an outright dismissal, arguing that the law was never intended to criminalize victims protecting themselves. The Commonwealth dismissed the case before arraignment.
Case Dismissed
DUI (RI, 2024)
A military veteran was charged with Driving Under the Influence after a late night stop and breath test over the legal limit. I advocated for his admission to Rhode Island’s Veterans Treatment Court. After he successfully completed the program, the DUI was dismissed, preserving his driving privileges and employment.
Felonies Dismissed
Kidnapping, Domestic Assault, and Witness Intimidation — All Charges Dismissed (MA, 2025)
A client was charged with kidnapping, domestic assault, and witness intimidation based on vague, years old allegations. I filed motion showing the complaint failed to establish probable cause, the District Attorney’s Office agreed they could not prosecute. All charges were dismissed.
Suspension Avoided
Colin Foote Suspension (RI, 2023)
My client faced automatic license suspension under Rhode Island’s Colin Foote law due to multiple traffic violations. I challenged several citations, reducing them enough to avoid suspension entirely and preserve her license.
Case Dismissed
Assault & Battery + Disorderly Conduct (RI, 2025)
While on probation for a serious felony, my client was arrested for assault and disorderly conduct, facing up to 5 years in prison. I obtained surveillance footage proving the allegations false; all charges were dismissed, and he was released the same day.
Not Guilty Verdict
OUI & Negligent Operation (MA, 2025)
Police claimed my client was intoxicated and failed every field sobriety test. At trial, I used the body cam footage to challenge each observation, and the officer admitted every one of them was wrong. The court found my client NOT GUILTY.
Why These Results Matter
- Cases dismissed before trial = charges erased early
