Truly embodies the spirit of Equitas with his commitment to justice

Attorney Stacey is a consummate professional. He is very respectful and also highly approachable and accessible. He listened to my concerns with empathy and with a genuine desire to help me succeed in terminating my probation. While unfortunately the judge didn't even consider our motion, Attorney St...acey was nonetheless able to ensure that my rights to travel outside of Massachusetts were restored, which has meant a tremendous deal to me and to my immediate family members who live out of state. His firm couldn't have a more appropriate name. Equitas, meaning justice in Latin, is exactly what Attorney Stacey is committed to and nothing less. Anyone considering him should know that they would be in expert hands. Do not hesitate to retain him. Your freedom and record will be all the better off for it! Criminal cases can be extremely draining and stressful, but working with Attorney Stacey greatly mitigates that. I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for me, and I know that he and his team at Equitas are going to keep doing what they do best: pursuing justice for their clients.

Fantastic Attorney

I hired Mr. Stacey to represent me regarding some legal issues. Our first contact was over the telephone and he took the time to listen and discuss with me my legal options, he was very knowledgeable, compassionate and empathetic during that conversation. My case was a little unusual and it was my f...irst time having any type of offense. I work in the medical field and it is important to have a clean background check when it comes to employment and getting hired. I was quite concerned about my future employment opportunities in regards to my offenses. I hired Mr. Stacey and he gave me several possible outcome scenarios. The day of my court hearing Mr. Stacey was able to get my offenses dismissed. The outcome was the best possible outcome out of the several he had mentioned. Mr. Stacey is a very skilled, knowledgeable, caring, compassionate lawyer. He was available to answer my questions, he took time with me and focused on my case. I knew going into court Mr. Stacey had my best interest in mind and he was going to try get the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Stacey for anyone looking for an attorney and if needed I would not hesitate to use his services again. Thank you Attorney Stacey you did a great job!

Someone I'm proud to have represented me.

About a year and a half ago I was charged with 2 OUI's within a two week span. It was nothing short of a nightmare scenario. I contacted Andrew after my first charge, and I can honestly say that over this 18 month period, Attorney Stacey was there for me in every capacity imaginable whenever I called... or reached out to him. I have never been in any sort of legal trouble prior to this, so needless to say, ending up in jail for 3 weeks was difficult and unfamiliar. Andrew visited me on multiple occasions during this time span to generate a plan for my release. The work he did to get me out, when I was most likely facing a mandatory 2-3 months, went FAR beyond his duties as an attorney. He worked tirelessly to figure out something that would give me the best chance of release, and he nailed it. I still had a steep, uphill battle, though. My confidence in him rapidly grew over time, as after about 6 months, he was able to help me get back on the road during a pre-trial hearing. This was absolutely attributed to his composure, competency, and zeal in the courtroom. I can actually remember the judge complementing and admitting her decision to grant me driving privileges was in large part because of Andrew's "phenomenal counsel". Each visit to court with Andrew put on display the respect he garnered not only from his colleagues, but the judges and the ADA's. He was able to get my second OUI dismissed about 6 months in. This was a MASSIVE relief as you can imagine, because now the threat of possible jail time was in all reality, gone. In September 2017, I had my trial set for my first charge. Andrew got this dismissed as well. I can remember the feeling of absolute joy and astonishment that this was the outcome after being in such a hole. Attorney Andrew Stacey is someone I now consider a friend, and I would without the slightest hesitation recommend his services for any pending legal matter you may be facing. If you're seeking a tenacious, intelligent and most of all, compassionate and caring person to guide you through the treacherous and confusing world of the legal system, you must hire Attorney Stacey. I just cannot say enough.

Great DUI Lawyer

Attorney Stacey did a great job representing me in my 1st offense DUI case. He was extremely responsive to all my emails and phone calls. Attorney Stacey spent over 30 minutes on a Saturday morning discussing my options and providing me with a consultation following my arrest. I was never pressured... to act one way or the other. Attorney Stacey was well informed and ensured that the entire court process went smoothly. Attorney Stacey went above and beyond and stayed in court with me to see the judge again after I had my case heard to waive the travel ban that accompanies the offense. I would highly recommend Attorney Stacey to others.

Highly recommend

Attorney Stacey did an excellent job in my case. He explained every possible outcome of my case, answered all of my questions, and was able to work with the DA to have the charge dropped prior to arraignment. Highly recommend.

Criminal defense lawyer | Oct 17

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"On a daily basis, I had the opportunity to observe the manner in which Andrew approaches a case and the results he was able to obtain on behalf of clients. From the outset, Andrew spent the time necessary to thoroughly understand the facts of each case, as well as the client's concerns and ultimate goals. He expertly identified potential defenses and executed a thoughtful defense strategy through the use of legal research, written submissions and oral advocacy. Often, due to his relentless approach, Andrew was able to obtain an outright dismissal of charges or plea terms that were exceedingly favorable to the client. If the case went to trial, Andrew was professional, prepared and has a natural ability to communicate effectively with a jury or judge. Andrew practices law at a level well beyond his years and on par with any attorney I have seen in my 20 years of practice. He possesses the skill set to ensure that you obtain the best possible result in your criminal or civil case."
