About Brian
Biography
I began this career as a clerk for the Supreme Judicial Court before law school and worked my way nights through law school later taking a staff attorney position for the Public Defender's Office in Hampden and later Plymouth County. In that office I learned to zealously defend my clients constitutional rights and freedoms, in the process representing individuals accused of some of the most serious felony crimes. In my close to 14 years as an attorney I have handled every criminal case in the Commonwealth, inlcuding homicide cases. I have tried to a jury more than 45 cases and more than 30 before a jury in Superior Court.
I bring to my practice a wealth of expereince in the Massachusetts court system and a zealous approach to each and every case, and every client.
