"Ruth O'Meara-Costello has worked with me for almost eight years. She has been successful on a number of criminal cases, including a first-degree murder trial that was an almost-impossible case. In that case, the jury was unable to reach a verdict. She worked with me on a marijuana distribution case in which we got the charges reduced and resolved the case without a criminal record for the client. She is extraordinarily intelligent, tenacious, and ethical. She has a great deal of courage in court and is willing to state her position, no matter how much opposition she faces. I recommend her without reservation as one of the strongest up-and-coming criminal defense lawyers in the state of Massachusetts."
