Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 08

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"With pleasure I evaluate our associate Naomi Shatz as an outstanding lawyer. She has been with our firm for over four years and I have worked with her on a number of criminal cases. She argued a motion for a judgment of aquittal in a cruelty to animals case to a judge in the Boston Municipal Court. The judge allowed the motion and the client was acquitted of all charges as a result of her outstanding legal writing and allocution. Additionally, she worked as co-counsel with me and my partner Inga Bernstein in a highly celebrated case involving alleged fraud of a Boston charity. The prosecutor argued that the defendant serve 3 years in state prison and with Naomi's help we developed a written and oral presentation in support of our recommendation of probation. We prevailed and Naomi was an integral part of the presentation. In preparing this case, Naomi had to do a great deal of legal and factual research as well as helping us with the memorandum on sentencing."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
