Criminal Defense
Riccio Law provides comprehensive criminal defense for misdemeanor and felony charges in Massachusetts. Our approach combines former prosecutorial insight with aggressive trial preparation to challenge evidence, negotiate dismissals, and protect clients' futures. We handle complex cases involving assault, drug crimes, and violent offenses. Our clients benefit from strategic defense planning and a proven track record of successful verdicts.
DUI/OUI Defense
Our DUI/OUI defense focuses on challenging breathalyzer accuracy, traffic stop legality, and procedural violations. With Massachusetts' strict impaired driving laws, we defend first-time and repeat offenders while protecting commercial and professional licenses. We leverage technical knowledge and courtroom experience to minimize penalties and preserve driving privileges through license reinstatement strategies.
Federal Crimes Defense
Federal criminal cases require specialized expertise due to complex investigations and high conviction rates. Riccio Law defends clients facing federal charges including drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and RICO violations. We challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate plea agreements when appropriate, and prepare for trial to counter federal prosecutors' resources while protecting constitutional rights.
Professional License Defense
We represent healthcare professionals and licensed practitioners in disciplinary proceedings before Massachusetts licensing boards. Our defense addresses allegations affecting medical, dental, nursing, and mental health licenses. We work to prevent license revocation, negotiate alternative resolutions, and protect careers while addressing underlying charges through parallel criminal defense strategies.
Juvenile Defense
Our juvenile defense practice focuses on minimizing long-term consequences for young offenders. We handle cases involving theft, assault, and drug offenses while emphasizing rehabilitation over punishment. We work with families to develop defense strategies that address both immediate charges and future opportunities, seeking dismissals, diversion programs, or alternative sentencing options.

Anthony goes above and beyond for his clients and sticks with case till the very end. My case went on for 3 years because of covid interfering. Through it all though we stayed in contact and he did everything in his power to move forward with the case. After everything I was found not guilty on all accounts and I could not be happier with my experience with Mr. Riccio.

Want to give a big thank you mr Anthony Riccio, I had reached out on an old case from 2006 and he responded immediately and took action even taking extra time out of his day to resolve this matter for me. Responded immediately to any questions I had and even went out the way to make sure everything was ok after things were taken care of. Very professional and honest straight forward. Highly recommended. Thank you again!!!!
