Best criminal lawyer

I met Mark Griffith in 2016, I was being charged with multiple charges armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, possession of a firearm without a license, and possession of ammu...nition (2 counts). We recently went to trail on all the charges and got a not guilty verdict on all charges through out this journey Mark was very transparent, extremely professional and realistic I highly have recommended and referred Mark his 22 years of experience speak for itself !!

Criminal Trial Lawyer

I was assigned Mark 4 yrs ago for my case of DUI , 3rd offense. Right away I could tell Mark was an excellent attorney. After he looked over my case, he informed me that I had a very good chance I would he found not guilty. If found guilty, I would definitely do jail time, which just could not happ...en. Covid hit, and my case just continued to continue. As time got closer to my trial, I was considering a jury trial and Mark informed me that I would be better off doing a bench trial. I, of course had my doubts, but Mark says he's done thousands of these and he's very confident of a not guilty verdict. He told me the points he would be making and they really sounded pretty awesome, so I decided that a bench trial would suffice. The trial finally came almost 4yrs later to the date, and needless to say, I was very scared. As the trial started, Mark worked his magic, hit all the points he said he was going to. He made me feel like I was his most important client he ever had. He was extremely Profesional and definitely knew his job. I was found not guilty. He always made me feel that it was my choice what kind of trial I wanted, yet he offered his advice, which I took, and I'm extremely happy! This is the guy you WANT on your side! Ty again, Mark!

Highly Recommend Mark

It has been a great pleasure working with Mark. His patience and professionalism made me feel very confident beforehand. My divorce case was complicated and dragged for two years. Mark was able to get it resolved smoothly and protect my best interests. I highly recommend his services.

Made the divorce process bearable

Mark was very patient and extremely helpful through the entire process. He was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of and always got right back to me. He made me feel as if I was his only client. I definitely recommend him as a divorce attorney.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had dozens of cases, numerous motions and at least one trial against Mark Griffith and I can highly recommend him for anyone needing defense from a criminal charge in Middlesex County. He is easy to get along with, well respected by judges and prosecutors and has the ability to convince a jury that they have a reasonable doubt even after his client all but admits to the crime on the witness stand (true story). Some might think jurors are swayed by his southern accent, but it is actually preparation, dedication and experience at trial that make him so effective."
