I am a fomer prosecuter with over 10 years and 100 trials worth of experience. As a prosecutor I handled thousands of criminal cases. Having played on both sides of the field helps me anticipate what the other side is thinking.
Since becoming a defense attorney I have secured hundreds of dismissals and favorable verdicts for my clients. I pride myself on my tenacity and results. In my practice I treat everyone with respect and courtesy and in turn they trust and respect me.

Awesome Job
Atty Christopher Coughlin was retained in 2015 for a family member. Contact - call backs were prompt. Appt. - on scheduled date & on time. Speech - very articulate in speaking. Tone- voice pronounced at an exceptional volume to be heard in the court room without being asked to repeat t...
These cases were in Wareham District Court. Both cases were difficult as multiple people had called the police to report an erratic operator. We were very happy with the result.

Excellent Advise
Chris worked with me on a personal matter, that needed his expertise. He gave me great advise, which allowed me to resolve the situation without getting the police involved or going to court. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who has a sticky situation that needs to have a positive outcome. ...
This client was never charged. He was being blackmailed by someone threatening to report a claim of abuse to the police. I'm glad we were able to triage the situation.

One Winning Defense Attorney Worth Hiring
My gut instinct told me to interview Mr. Coughlin, during which he thoroughly impressed me with his command of facts, law, technology and cutting edge attorney practices. I was facing new criminal charges while on parole after 16 yrs of incarceration in Texas. The deck was very much stacked against m...
This case was in Waltham District Court. I'm proud of the work we did. Knowing that one false move could have landed you back in prison in Texas put a lot of pressure on us to get results. I was very pleased we were able to get all charges on all three cases dismissed.

Won my case.
Initial contact with Chris was at 2am at the Police Station where I was taken into custody. It was then that I knew that Chris really cared about my situation - who would leave their family and home in the early morning hours to see a client and not even sure he would be the one to take the job? I w...
