This Guy Will Beat the Joke That is Massachusetts
Not enough good things to say about Neil. If you're being persecuted by this redcoat state over your 2nd Amendment rights, he's your best legal defense. My case started off about as bad as it can get, I was being charged with a litany of things, most of which carried mandatory minimum sentences in pr...

Would recommend Neil to anyone that has any fifth amendment rights taken from them. He was very curtesy to his clients, getting his case dismissed.

Helped me avoid a gun charge
I was charged with improper storage of a firearm in Worcester MA and Neil helped me every step of the way. He gave me invaluable advice before I even hired him, and asked a very reasonable fee when it came time to represent me at the Clerk Magistrate hearing. He knocked it out of the park at this h...

Knowledgeable, Professional, and Well-Respected Lawyer
Neil is an outstanding lawyer whose intelligence and expertise make him an extremely valuable asset to have on your side. Navigating the notoriously strict and complex firearms laws of Massachusetts can be an exceedingly difficult task, but Neil's unparalleled understanding of these laws sets him apa...
I'm glad this client's family found me. He'd been in jail for eight days after being determined to be a danger for allegedly violating a statute that he couldn't even legally be charged with violating. Nobody knew the law or even bothered to read it: not the prosecutor, the judge, nor even his lawyer who claimed to be an expert on firearm law. I got him out the next day and eventually got all but one of the charges dismissed and the last misdemeanor was continued without a finding.
"I contacted Neil on a legal question involving MA law. He replied promptly and thoroughly with useful information. As a lawyer who also focuses on 2A issues in North Carolina, it’s great to have a resource like Neil."
"Aggressive And Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney. Client Focused, Results Driven. It is a pleasure to work with him."
"I tried a felony case against Neil in his days as a prosecutor. He was a formidable opponent. Neil has the unique perspective of highly skilled former prosecutor who has taken his talents to the defense bar. As a result he sees cases from a broader perspective and that shows in his work. He is a highly talented lawyer with a razor sharp knowledge of the law and the advocacy skills to get the best results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Neil Tassel is a smart, dedicated, and tenacious criminal defense attorney. He leaves no stone unturned and is committed to achieving the best results for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Before entering private practice myself, as a prosecutor, I always though of Neil as a zealous attorney and a great lawyer to work with."
