Honest, Truthful, & Real: A Great Lawyer

Mr. Moriarty was referred to my by a friend and client of his who had a successful outcome in her case. Needing legal assistance I consulted with Mr. Moriarty about my case, gave all the documents necessary and explained why I was in trouble. He took time off on a Saturday to meet with me to fit my s...chedule for the initial consultation. From the get go he was real and honest. He did not fill my head with empty expectations, when it came to being ethical and explaining all possible scenarios and outcomes, he was covered and I was fully informed. Hired immediately. He is excellent at communication; phone calls and emails were made to keep me in the loop of what was going on only when it was necessary. On the day of the arraignment and follow-up appearances, he took the time to sit with me to talk about what was going to happen that day, what I could expect, and what our next plan would be if things went our way, and a back-up "just in case". After about ten months (the speed of light our legal system), we were very successful in our case. Not only is Mr. Moriarty a great lawyer, he is an understanding man. I have known others who have used Mr. Moriarty in the past, all whom are fond of his legal representation using words like "fantastic, real, grounded", and his colleagues who use words like "he's a really really good guy." I would definitely hire Mr. Moriarty and recommend him to ANYONE in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who needs legal assistance because when a lawyer is good, he's great.

Attorney Robb Moriarty - Smart, Kind and Just

When I found myself in need of an attorney, Robb Moriarty came highly recommended by a friend who was a former court officer in Edgartown. She had watched Robb’s career blossom in his early days as a lawyer, and said that, at the time, he was an, “up and coming”, attorney who quickly earned the resp...ect of his colleagues. Robb is now a very seasoned attorney who continues to be held in high regard by his peers—and he has most certainly earned my respect, as well. Robb defended me against serious felony charges and an arrest that never should have occurred. He very quickly sized up the situation, moved up the date of my pre-trial hearing, and swiftly had the charges amended and dismissed! Knowing I was unjustly accused and upset, he said, “You take care of you--and I will take care of this.” And he did. Attorney Robb Moriarty is smart, kind and just…and will know just what to do in order to help you, too. I truly cannot thank him enough for so expertly walking me through the steps that put my life back on track.

Mr. Moriarty provided exceptional counsel, along with an in depth knowledge of DUI statutes, case law, and all associated protocol and procedures. His expert management of every element of my DUI case ultimately resulted in the dismissal or acquittal of all charges presented. I highly recommend Rober...t Moriarty to anyone faced with similar circumstances.

DUI DEFENSE

I contacted Robert Moriarty after I was convicted of O.U.I. After conferring with Robb regarding the possibility of an appeal, he felt that there was enough evidence to move forward. Through Robb's case research and exceptionally sharp eye to detail, he was successful in getting my case re-tried. ... At the trial Robb was calm and confident, easily picking apart the prosecutions case and I was acquitted of the O.U.I. charge. Robb is a thorough and competent professional who always answered my calls or texts and never left me with any questions. I'll give Robert Moriarty five stars although he certainly is deserves more.

Great lawyer

Rob was great, was open to meeting with me and listened to my case. He was able to work around my busy schedule and even won my case for me. Rob also was able to appear in court on days I had to be absent. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
