OUI/DUI Defense
We defend against operating under the influence charges, including first-time offenses, repeat violations, and cases involving child endangerment or serious bodily injury. Our strategies challenge evidence collection procedures and police conduct while protecting clients' driving privileges. With extensive trial experience, we secure dismissals, reduced charges, and license reinstatements through aggressive courtroom advocacy and technical legal challenges.
Federal Criminal Defense
Our firm represents clients in federal criminal matters before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. We handle complex cases involving drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and violent offenses, leveraging our understanding of federal sentencing guidelines and prosecutorial strategies. We challenge constitutional violations in evidence collection while preparing robust defenses for grand jury proceedings and trials.
Sex Crimes Defense
We defend against rape, sexual assault, and related charges requiring specialized legal expertise. Our approach challenges inconsistencies in accuser testimony while addressing mandatory registration requirements. We negotiate plea agreements that avoid lifetime sex offender registration and litigate constitutional defenses related to evidence collection and witness credibility.
Drug Crimes Defense
We handle possession, trafficking, and distribution charges under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 94C. Our defense strategies challenge unlawful search and seizure practices while negotiating pretrial probation agreements. We protect clients' rights during property forfeiture proceedings and work to minimize long-term consequences of drug-related convictions.
Violent Crimes Defense
We defend against assault, battery, kidnapping, and homicide charges under Chapter 265 of Massachusetts General Laws. Our team investigates witness credibility, challenges forensic evidence, and develops self-defense arguments. We negotiate plea agreements that avoid mandatory minimum sentences while preparing for jury trials in complex violent crime cases.

This was my first time ever needing a lawyer and getting into trouble. Ben was professional and knowledgeable about my situation and made me feel relaxed knowing that I had someone on my side. He was always ready and available to answer any and all questions I had, and even put doubt to rest in my mind. I will be referring him to everyone I know that happens to fall into trouble. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
