About James
Biography
I am a former police officer of 24 years. During my employment in law enforcement I was a frequent instructor at the Massachusetts State Police Academy and regional police academies teaching criminal law, criminal procedure, investigations and various train the trainer classes. My experience in law enforcement has left me with a strong ability of analyize criminal cases, find weaknesses in them and get evidence suppressed or otherwise knocked out and raise reasonable doubt with a jury.
My law practice is not limited to criminal defense. I enguage in a variety of civil work and litigation. I stand ready to asssit you with your legal needs.
