Relatable, Responsive, and Exceptional in Navigating Complex Case Law
Working with Neil was a great experience that I hope to never have to repeat.

His understanding and interpreti...

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...

"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."
