A±±+ Sold my property in Roslindale, never imagined it could be so painless.
Ali's team was professional, prompt, thorough and walked me through every step of the process. I live out of state but they handled the closing for me, I didn't even have to attend. Very reasonable fee was a great value just in the time they saved me, no question.
Highly recommended for real estate transactions! Call them!

Ali and his team are great people to work with. We were recommended to him via our realtor and couldn't have been happier.
In the initial conversation, he explained all services they'd offer and an estimate of the costs. They worked with our lender very efficiently and kept us in the loop at all times. They were responsive in answering all questions in every step. Closing (which was mentioned as a stressful event by friends) was very smooth and stress free.
Definitely recommend Ali and his team to anyone who's looking for real estate attorney services. We'll be working with them in the future again for sure.

Excellent Lawyer: Highly Recommend for Criminal Defense
I am extremely grateful for Paul Moraski’s support and expertise in resolving a complex legal issue I was facing. From the start, he was thorough, professional, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. I was in a challenging situation that could have had serious implications for my career, but Paul handled it with skill and confidence. He successfully negotiated a dismissal with a year-long contingency, which allowed me to move forward with my life. I can’t thank him enough for his diligence and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a strong defense attorney.
Lastly, he was super easy to call or text at any hour to relieve me if I had any questions about anything, no redirection to his Office or an assistant. I found that to be invaluable, and I was surprised at the accessibility. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I definitely understand why he’s a top attorney in Boston.

While on vacation in Boston, I was falsely accused of a serious crime, arrested, and faced with felony charges.
After spending the night in jail, I was assigned a public defender who was entirely unfamiliar with my case. Unfortunately, not only was this public defender incompetent, but he also lacked the appropriate credentials to handle a case of such seriousness.
I was facing a minimum of five years in prison, and my bail was set at $60,000. The public defender made no effort to fight for me. He didn't attempt to have my bail reduced or identify any weaknesses in the case against me. Instead, he simply agreed with the prosecutor and judge, and I was sent back to jail.
After three nights in jail, my family informed me that they had hired a criminal defense attorney named Paul Moraski, who would be visiting me in a couple of days.
True to their word, Paul arrived at the jail two days later. I was escorted by a correctional officer to meet him. From the moment we met, I knew Paul was the right lawyer for me. He had an incredible personality, was highly educated and knowledgeable, and held himself to a very high standard. For the first time, I felt hopeful again.
The first thing Paul said to me was, "We’re going to beat this case." He then assured me, "I am going to get your bail reduced from $60,000 to $30,000 so you can go home." Paul not only understood my case thoroughly but also knew the courtroom inside and out, thanks to his 14+ years of experience.
Two days later, I had another court appearance, and Paul was outstanding. He successfully persuaded the judge to lower my bail from $60,000 to $30,000, allowing my family to secure my release.
The night I was bailed out, Paul immediately called to congratulate me on going home. He reassured me once again, saying, "There are numerous holes in your case, and you have nothing to worry about."
Despite Paul's reassurances, I remained anxious about my case after returning home and would call him weekly. Each time, Paul answered the phone, and if he was in court, he would return my call immediately afterward.
Paul is an exceptional attorney, though not inexpensive. However, he provided me with a very reasonable rate given the severity of my case. He also offered me a monthly payment plan, which greatly eased the financial burden.
When it comes to fighting for your freedom, no price is too high. Paul Moraski was worth every dollar.
Six months later, just as Paul had predicted from the start, my case was completely dismissed.
If you find yourself facing legal issues in the Boston area, I highly recommend contacting and hiring Paul Moraski. He is not only an outstanding defense attorney but also a remarkable person. I feel like I not only hired a lawyer but also gained a friend.
Thank you for everything, Paul.

John did an outstanding job of representing me as a public defender. At a time when I was out of work due to filing for SSDI. Charges were brought against that were false. He was able to bring witness in to testify on my behalf and advise me through the 2 year ordeal. Communication was never an issue. He never once doubted or questioned my innocence.
In the end hearing the Judge give his verdict of not guilt was such a relief. At a time when people can just bring false claim against people and alter their lives in do so. I am thankful that Attorney Pickering was there to represent me.
Thank you John

I had the pleasure of working with Christopher Fiorentino of Fiorentino Legal, P.C. following a vehicle accident, and I can't recommend him highly enough. After feeling overwhelmed and not knowing where to turn for representation, I found Chris through a Google search and decided to give him a chance. That decision was the best one I made.
Throughout the entire process, Chris was incredibly attentive, responsive, and kept me informed every step of the way. His clear communication and dedication gave me confidence, and I felt fully supported during what could have been a stressful experience. Not only did he represent me well, but he also helped me understand the legal process and kept me in the loop from start to finish.
If you're looking for a lawyer you can trust, Chris is your guy. You won’t regret choosing him. While I hope I don’t need legal representation again, if I do, Chris will always be my go to attorney, and I would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Chris helped my mom out with a claim against an insurance company for an injury she suffered from a car accident.
Chris was able to explain the process to her with exceptional detail, and never made her feel like she was asking stupid questions.
He set appropriate expectations, so that we knew what to expect and followed through with his promise and his commitment.
His hard work and dedication to his service, along with his years of experience in the law showed while working with my mother and inevitably led to a very favorable settlement with the insurance company.
After his work with my mother, I continue to recommend his services to my friends and family should they need legal counsel or assistance and I’ll continue to recommend him.

I want to start off by saying Dan is a great person!! I was stressed out and nervous for almost a month before I called Dan!! After a free 30 minute consultation, Dan had made it so I was less stressed and he told me he would take care of everything!! Even while he was on vacation he was helping me (Don't tell his wife lol) but honestly he made my court case so smooth and he did exactly what I expected!! Plus I want to ask you how many other five-star businesses do you know of?? I'm glad that I have a good lawyer If I ever need one for the rest of my life Dan is just a phone call or text away!! Give him a shout for any of your criminal defense needs and let them know Anthony Mazza sent you!!

If you need an attorney, call Dan Daly immediately before anyone else. I’ve had quite a few lawyers in the past and attorney Daly is easily the best attorney I’ve had. His experience being a former police officer, former assistant district attorney, and an assistant attorney general puts him above any lawyer in western Massachusetts. Communication with your attorney is key in a hopeful good result in your case and Dan is very responsive whether it’s by call or text he will get back to you quick. He had my hearing thrown out in 2 minutes, was only in the courthouse for 15 minutes.

Words cannot truly express how thankful I am for Atty. Alex and all his hard work on my case. I reached out to him in a bit of a panic, because my original attorney plan fell apart at the seams.
My case was pushed back a couple times. The original date was in June. Pushed to the beginning of August. For some reason, the court then moved it to the end of August, but without notification of my attorney. However, Atty. Alex rolled with it.
Whenever I would call, he would always get back to me as quickly as he could. I would receive updates when needed, and he thoroughly prepped me for what to expect at my hearing and how he believed things would go, based on experiences with similar cases in the past.
We even had hiccups the day of my hearing. After waiting for 2 hours, the person hearing my case excused themselves for a conflict, and we were given to someone else. About an hour later, we finished up with the hearing, and both of us could not be happier with the outcome. As Atty. Alex had told me, it truly was an "outlier" of a result.
He was calm, honest, down-to-earth, professional, and highly attentive through it all.
I highly recommend Atty. Alex! You cannot go wrong with him!!

Today marks a day to remember… the words case dismiss were remarkable, and thanks to the Attorneys Erkan and Sullivan for taking a chance to prove the court Kelvin’s innocence! My husband Kelvin made a mistake in the past, and after going through many other attorneys, time and money waisted to get this case dismiss, then when we thought hope was lost The Law Office of Erkan and Sullivan was sent to us through a miracle! They did a great job proving to the court that an injustice was being made to Kelvin by no one wanting to take a chance to defend him. We will be forever grateful with Erkan and Sullivan, thanks for taking a chance and giving Kelvin an opportunity of full freedom!

Edward/Teddy, was extremely helpful to me when I needed help. Attentive, thoughtful, and diligent! HE spent time with me and obviously spent time on his own preparing and doing research. I admire his work ethic as well as his integrity. I spoke with others who wanted to play things differently but Teddy wanted to take things head on and follow the legal system to get us to the right outcome and that is what we did. Thanks Teddy. If you are considering calling Teddy please do. Give him a chance to show you what he can do. Plus, he's a good guy! Thanks.

It is hard to overstate how positive my family’s two experiences with Atty. Asaf Sarno have been. If one were to sit down and describe the qualities of a great criminal defense attorney, you would describe Atty. Sarno.
In the first case, a close family member with substance use issues was already on probation for non-violent related offenses when he re-offended. His case was referred to Superior Court where he was indicted and faced up to 5 years in a state penitentiary. He even failed to appear for a hearing. Fortunately, Asaf was available to take the case. Asaf deftly took advantage of errors and weaknesses in the state’s case. He also researched the sentencing history for similar cases, including that of the assigned judge. He also employed a PI to obtain relevant info to bolster the case. Although the DA’s office refused to make an acceptable plea deal, Asaf was confident that the case would resolve acceptably. In the end, the accused received extended probation – far better than jail time.
At all times, Asaf remained positive and optimistic. With his client’s permission, he kept us family in the loop so that we could be appropriately supportive. (We also attended every court appearance which Asaf assured us was very helpful.)
Meanwhile, another case (i.e. a different non-violent offense while under the influence) had been simmering for 2 ½ years. The original defense lawyer had assumed it would settle quickly. However, the prosecution again would not agree to an acceptable plea deal. It was apparent that the case would go to trial. It felt like a lost cause. My family member decided to get a 2nd opinion from Atty. Sarno. He instantly greeted us with positive energy and enthusiasm even before we explained the reason for calling him. We agreed to pay his reasonable fee to review the case. No guarantees but based on Asaf’s thorough review he presented three distinct approaches to the defense. Based on this and the prior experience with Asaf, he was hired to take over the case.
Attorney Sarno worked hard on this case, appropriately hiring a PI and a forensic psychologist to bolster the defense. Importantly, Asaf ALWAYS returned calls and emails in a timely manner – typically within 24 hours, even when he was in court on another trial. Also with his guidance, we solicited letters of support from family members, former counselors, etc.. All this led to being as prepared as possible for the trial. Asaf made a vigorous defense, for which he was congratulated by the judge! In the end, my family member was given probation with some strict but reasonable conditions – much better than the what the state had previously insisted on. Now my family member has a reasonable shot at wellness because staying in a treatment program is now possible.
There are many factors that play into the outcome of a criminal trial – the strength of the evidence, the skill and determination of the prosecution, the judge assigned, the defendant’s history, and the degree of support by family and friends. But certainly, a HUGE factor is the SKILL, DETERMINATION, POSITIVE DEMEANOR, and WORK ETHIC of the defense counsel. Asaf brings all of those qualities to his work – to an EXCEPTIONALLY high degree! Moreover, Atty. Asaf Sarno’s enthusiasm for his profession and dedication to his clients are what make him a head-and-shoulders standout in the criminal defense bar.
I hope you never need the criminal defense skills of Attorney Asaf Sarno, but if you’re reading this there’s a good chance you do. My advice: HIRE HIM!

I have nothing but good things to say about Attorney Sarno. I was charged with multiple counts of possession of a large capacity firearm without a FID card, facing up to 10 years in prison on each count, and Attorney Sarno was able to negotiate a custodial sentence of only 15 months (after the prosecutor pushed the court for 2x that amount) and three years' probation. Through additional research and investigation, Attorney Sarno uncovered multiple instances of misconduct committed by the District Attorney's Office and local PD, resulting in my probation sentence being cut in half! Attorney Sarno went far above and beyond my expectations for a criminal defense attorney. I am grateful for his diligence, expertise, and relentless effort to get the best possible outcome for me. I would whole-heartedly recommend Attorney Sarno to anyone who needs the BEST legal representation possible!

From the very first conversation I had with Darius, I felt like he was on my side, something I didn’t feel when I was discussing my case with other attorneys.
He was ethical and supportive and made himself available throughout the ups and downs of the case. In the end, I was able to get to a successful resolution to my case and decided to retain Darius for corporate counsel.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Atty Jonathan Molleur. At first, I called a different attorney who contacted Atty Molleur. Within one day I received a call from him and was so relieved. From the moment I heard his voice I knew he was the attorney for me. He listened to me, through my tears, for about an hour and showed me so much empathy and kindness to my situation. He did not interrupt me at all. It was a very difficult time for me since I was dealing with family members so it was a very personal matter. So needless to say, I was very upset. When I heard that he would take my case, I felt relieved, since he was known as one of the top lawyers in this field of tenant law. From day one, our very first conversation, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for myself, this proved to be true.
I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration that I received from him. It was not all business and he understood this was something more personal. This made me feel secure and I knew he would have my best interest at heart.
With his expertise and knowledge, I saw the light of day. Justice would be served. His dedication, his attention to detail, and diligence made this all possible. He believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. When I called him or sent an email, he ALWAYS returned my calls. I never had to worry. He calmed me down every time we spoke. We were a team!
In the end, it all worked out well. I cannot thank him enough, not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. He sincerely cared about my health and wellbeing. He turned into my friend who truly cared about me. There were times when he was my therapist where he just listened to me and hearing him say over and over, “That things will be OK” took all my anxiety away.
I highly recommend Atty Molleur to assist you with all your tenant needs. I thank God for him every day!

Attorney Molleur was always a pleasure to work with when I had a case where my landlords were breaking Massachusetts landlord law. He was extremely communicative, easy to reach, always responsive, and we were easily able to retrieve a settlement that was highly in our favor. I highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone who especially needs help and may feel like they have no one to turn to due to financial constraints - he represented us so well and talked us through every step of fees and costs so that we were never afraid of not being able to get things resolved. Thank you so much!

I served with Emir in the Army. His reputation as a fierce warfighter was only surpassed for his uncommon ability for human empathy and understanding. When I had the worst day of my life, he was the first call I made. True to fashion, he listened intently, then gave me both the peace of mind and EXACT legal advice I needed to overcome a very trying ordeal. Emir is a fine human being and he has a wonderful ability to connect and care before jumping straight into legal advice. I only wish I could leave more than 5 stars!

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.
