I am a criminal defense attorney who practices in the District and Superior Courts of Massachusetts, as well as the Federal District Court of Massachusetts. I also represent clients at the Immigration Court who are seeking asylum or facing deportation. It is my sincere belief that in today's courts, justice only occurs when the accused are well represented by counsel. It is my goal to provide that excellent representation.
