David has been very helpful and patient throughout the entire closing process. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and David was always there to provide clear and thoughtful answers. On closing day, he took the time to carefully walk us through all the important documents, highlighting key details and making sure we fully understood everything. We're very happy with David's service!

David was hired to navigate a very messy Family Trust situation. He was professional, resourceful and successful. His response time is above and beyond. He is always available to you unlike some I have known in my experience. More importantly he was compassionate with the situation and folks involved. I applaud his professionalism and kindness. His manner in which he conducts business made a very difficult and stressful situation bearable. Thank you, David Rubin.

I dealt with Alan on a family personal matter and he could not have been more professional and simple to work with.
Every step was defined and planned out perfectly.
He did his homework to prepare for the courtroom. He really cared about our case.
Alan was well prepared and on time with everything and was reasonably priced.
I would use him again in a heartbeat.

Kristin Weberg represented me in what is called a "contentious divorce" for just over a year in 2021-2022. I'm forever grateful to her and her whole team. When I called her that first time, I told her what sounded like an outrageous story. I was in the death throes of an abusive marriage and the deck was squarely stacked against me. She believed me and agreed to represent me. She assisted me navigate an escape from my abuser. When we had to appear in court her professionalism & preparation were unmatched. She successfully petitioned the court to make accommodations so that he couldn't intimidate me. She left no stone unturned. We were successful in completing the divorce with a fair and favorable outcome. Her office as a whole undertook a considerable amount of work on my behalf while at the same time helping to ensure my safety. You can expect to be treated with kindness and dignity. It's so hard to write this because how do you properly explain someone completely going to the line for you in a few sentences? I think the best way to sum it up is this. You want Kristin on your side in the courtroom. If you have the chance to work with her. Run don't walk.

If you’re searching for a defense attorney who will fight for your freedom like your life depends on it—because it does—Paul Moraski is the only name you need to know. He represented my sister in what felt like a completely hopeless case, spanning three different courts. To say the odds were against us would be an understatement. We had a better chance of witnessing God part the seas than avoiding jail time—but Paul made the impossible happen. His results were nothing short of miraculous.
From the very first appearance, it was clear that his reputation and respect in the courtroom were well-earned. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and his command of the legal process transformed our overwhelming, anxiety-filled nightmare into a smooth and manageable experience. He guided us every step of the way with confidence and compassion.
Paul is worth every penny we spent—no small statement from two single mothers of four children. He didn’t need our business and had no obligation to accommodate us financially, but he graciously worked out a payment arrangement without hesitation. He isn’t just an exceptional lawyer—he’s a genuinely good person.
I truly hope we never need his services again, but if we do, Paul Moraski will be our only call. If you want an attorney who delivers results that defy belief, trust him. You won’t regret it.

Honestly I can't say enough about this Lawyer I've had my share of lawyers but by far never had one who not only allowed me to make payments but gave me a reasonable fee for what ended up being a 3 different court probation violation I never saw 1 minute in jail...(which everyone knows the first thing that happens on a PO Violation is that your held) Paul held me responsible, he is a straight shooter very upfront n honestly about what to expect never once guaranteed no jail time but definitely after watching him in all 3 courts without question I feel very confident to have Paul as my go to Lawyer for anything criminal!! He's worth every cent you pay!! Paul also gave me a awesome referral to another lawyer for my sister for a NH case it's really to bad he doesn't do NH Law!! But his referral was also very amazing as well!! So super grateful for meeting Paul I'm so confident I wouldn't hesitate to call Paul everytime!!! If you are looking for a amazing, we'll put together, very confident lawyer who knows the inside and out of all of the courts this is your man!! Thanks again!!!

Paul is a great attorney. He answered my call right away and advised me what was going to happen. I was very nervous before calling him but he put me at ease by explaining the process. He is very knowledgeable, I knew right away I picked the right person to represent me. If I or anyone I know ever needs representation in court I’m calling Paul!!

Attorney Rozembersky performed his job at the highest level. Everytime we went to court, he was well prepared and ready to handle any situation. He never ignored my messages or phone calls. Always replied promptly which I always appreciated. He is very well spoken and is able to communicate with a wide range of people. His performance and work ethic will make you feel secure and comfortable knowing you're in good hands.
During trial, he commanded the courtroom with ease. His preparedness showed in his performance and questioning of witnesses. Most importantly, his actions resulted in a win.
If you want to hire a good, hard working attorney with mental toughness, look no further than Attorney Stefan Rozembersky.

Chris was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. I was in need of legal advice for a matter regarding pet custody (yes pets, not children), and he gave me his time and expertise and advised me on numerous solutions and paths to take. I really lucked out, because he has actually dealt with this type of issue in the past. I left feeling confident, and I am no longer scared of what to expect should my issue escalate. He was funny, educated, and patient with all of my questions. While I hope I do not ever need legal services again, if I do, I will confidently go back. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Based on how he carried himself, and how he offered multiple options and how they may play out, I would recommend him for other types of custody / divorce issues as well. I did not feel pressured or rushed, and everything he said was clear and well laid out to me.

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

I've had the opportunity to network with Jeffrey on a professional level for decades.
For 20 years, I worked in a facility that cared for patients that suffered injuries from accidents. For those patients, their recovery was generally complicated with the stress of managing their insurance, worrying about recouping the value of their vehicle, being blamed and having medical bills chase them for years.
That said, in all my years of working with these patients and of course dealing with their attorneys, there's no attorney that has compared to Attorney Lavey.
His level of professionalism is only superceded by his level of genuine concern, which is a rare combination in an attorney.
In my experience, working and coordinating with attorneys on behalf of our patients isn't always easy. Some attorneys never call, or never take or return my call, some truly have no idea what they're doing, others are indifferent, don't really care or even remember their own client. Jeff is completely the opposite of that description.
After 20 years of dealing with dozens upon dozens of attorneys, I can honestly say that none have been as caring, professional, knowledgeable and genuine as Jeff.
He regularly communicates with his clients' caregivers, their insurance carriers and most importantly the client.
I know this from experience because after seeing his level of commitment to his clients over the years, I've confidently referred patients, friends, my own family and even my spouse to Jeff with complete faith,
Of all the firms and attorney that I worked with and had the option of recommending, I will always choose Attorney Lavey.
He takes over and all his client has to focus on is getting better.
SIMPLY THE BEST!

Patrick Murphy is the best. I was summoned to a Magistrate Hearing. I had no idea what to expect or even how to prepare. Upon first contact with Patrick, he was extremely helpful. He explained the whole process to me, assisted with gathering the right documents and information, and answered all of my questions. On the day of the hearing, Patrick explained how the hearing would unfold and again answered all of my questions. Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of help with a magistrate hearing.

She works to make sure that the board has a shared understanding of our directives and the outcomes we have committed to.

Attorney Nagle has been my legal seeing eye dog for the past 3.5 years. Throughout a lengthy and slow moving process it was evident that he possessed a stellar knowledge of Massachusetts legal procedure. He led me through the oft byzantine world of Massachusetts legal proceedings in a calm and confident manner.
He is engaging, subtly strong willed and dedicated to the law. In my case he was exceptionally patient with an impatient client. Attorney Nagle was always professional. He has a good rapport with court house legal practitioners and staff. He is a gentleman who likes people and in an often contentious legal environment that is a valuable trait.
Attorney Nagle's strongest asset? His talent in the trial courtroom and his skill in cross examination.
Yes, we had a favorable outcome.
I believe he cares about doing a good job for his clients and will work diligently on your behalf.
His office staff are friendly and exceptionally hard working. They deserve my thanks and positive review, as well.

David was outstanding in the courtroom. I was and still am in total awe of his preparation, organization and presence in the courtroom. It was like watching something out of a TV show. I was on pins and needles but David was calm, collected, and willing to object (when necessary) and fight for his views. He made excellent logical arguments and submitted all the right motions and I am really proud of his work. I hope not to need an attorney anytime soon - who does? - but if I did, I would pick David Nagle without hesitation.

Casey is awesome. He always made time for me, even the times when I was “venting out loud,” acting as not only my lawyer, but even as a therapist/friend. I was surprised when I received my itemized bill, noticing there was several instances that times charged were less than they actually should have been. I hired him in the middle of an open family court case, which isn’t ideal for any attorney. During this time, I went through a financial hardship, as I made a huge career change going from a job with weekly pay, to a commission only career. He was very flexible with me based off of that change. I appreciate everything he did for me, and I tell anyone who remotely mentions needing an attorney of his praises.

It was my first OUI and I wanted to hire the best. I called and spoke with all the top 5 lawyers in and around Boston. I sent them the police report and asked them how they feel about the case. None of them provided any assurance and were unsure about the case. And they were charging a high fees and don't even wanted to discuss the case without their fees.
Then someone recommended Attorney Jon Ciraulo's name. I sent the police report to Jon and he called me after reviewing the report. He provided me complete details about how he gonna approach the case, how he gonna fight each charges in the report and assured me it is a winnable case. And he asked for a nominal fees.
I was already impressed by his approach and hired him.
He worked hard on the case and carefully examined the video evidences and came up with a strategy.
On the day of the final hearing, he asked the right questions to the witness and within 45 minutes the case was over and Judge ordered Not Guilty.
Excellent attorney. Definitely will recommend.

I’m from another state and was accused of leaving the scene of property damage. The cost was going to be astronomical. I didn’t know what to do. I looked up Mr ciraulo and I read his reviews. After the first phone interview I knew he was the right guy. He worked so hard for me that I will always be indebted to him and his team. I was not charged for any crimes and my cost was more than reasonable. If you are looking for the best lawyer in Massachusetts, Mr. Ciraulo and his team are the only choice. Again thank you Mr. Ciraulo and team.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
