Lawyer John Brooks Seed

John Seed, Criminal defense Attorney on Oct 4, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I highly endorse Attorney Cavanagh and have worked with him closely on a number of matters on the South Shore. As a former Quincy Assistant District Attorney, Tom is well respected by Judges, Clerks, ADAs and the Defense Bar. He is a tremendous advocate and regularly obtains outstanding results for his clients. I highly recommend his services for anyone seeking legal advice on the South Shore.
