After almost 13 years practicing in the trial department of a large international law firm, I have recently started a new practice in my hometown of Sharon, MA. Over the years, I have defended clients in major product liability and mass tort lawsuits, including the fen-phen litigation and widespread claims relating to genetically modified crops, represented numerous clients in the health care industry in business disputes, and handled litigation relating to trade secrets, employee non competition agreements, contract disputes and disputes arising out of major corporate transactions. I have been in state and federal courts in ten different jurisdictions, and gained expertise in all stages of litigation, from discovery to trial and appeal.

My current practice is based on the belief I can bring that rich experience to serve the litigation and counseling needs of small businesses and individuals in a flexible, economical manner.

•Domestic assault and battery
Assault and battery cases are often complex. If you are charged with domestic assault and battery, it is imperative that you seek legal counsel immediately.
•Drug crimes
If you are charged with the trafficking, distribution, or possession of illegal substances, you need an experienced attorney in drug crimes to represent you. In Massachusetts, convictions for drug crimes carry heavy penalties. Seeking guidance from a drug crime lawyer is imperative to winning your case.
•DUI/OUI/DWI
If one is operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 percent or higher in Massachusetts that person is presumed to be under the influence of alcohol. Even your first conviction can result in a jail sentence, a suspended license, and hefty fines. To minimize the penalties, having a qualified DUI lawyer on your side is critical.
•Felonies and misdemeanors
Misdemeanors are punishable by confinement to local Jail or House of Correction and a fine. Felonies may be punishable by death or incarceration in a state or federal prison. As a defendant, you need a qualified criminal lawyer to help ensure you receive a fair trial.
•Larceny crimes
Split between petty or grand, larceny is defined as the unlawful taking and carrying away of property of another with the intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property. Convictions for any larceny crime presents serious consequences for one's future. Hire a criminal defense lawyer to help dismiss, minimize, or reduce the charges.
•Motor vehicle crimes
Motor vehicle crimes such as operating negligently, motor vehicle homicide, or driving while unregistered or uninsured can all lead to expensive fines or license suspension. If you are charged with a motor vehicle crime, you need an experienced attorney to help protect your rights.
•Rapes and sexual assaults
Rape and indecent assaults are serious crimes that carry lengthy jail sentences and lifelong social stigma. Seek qualified legal counsel to see that you are fairly represented.
•Registry of motor vehicles
If your motor vehicle license has been suspended or if you face a possible suspension, a qualified attorney can help assess your case and protect your rights.
•Resisting arrest
Using physical force, threatening to use physical force or running away from a police officer so to prevent an officer from making an arrest can be considered resisting arrest. This charge is often added to other charges but with the help of a qualified attorney these charges can be dropped to lessen the penalties.
•Sealing/Expungement of a criminal record
Having a criminal record can create a barrier to employment, education, and civic opportunities. Sealing your record can protect you against the impediments your record may cause. A qualified criminal attorney can help you through the complicated sealing/expungement process.
