I've dedicated my professional life to helping people through difficult times.
I spent nine years as a Superior Court prosecutor working with victims of crime to help them get through the criminal justice system. I was also fortunate to be a member of the county Drug Court program that offered defendants a chance to rehabilitate themselves in the community rather than serve a prison sentence. I handled each case with an understanding that every person has their own individual struggles and challenges to overcome. I learned that you need to listen to people in order to be able to help them.
I bring this same understanding to help clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the areas of criminal defense of violation level, misdemeanor and felony level offenses, including DWI/DUI, as well as family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support and alimony issues.
I've found that having someone who can guide you through the court process may help alleviate a lot of the anxiety and uncertainty.
I pride myself on offering high value, responsive legal services. Please contact me today for a free consultation.
