Ughh, what a nightmare my life could have become, if I had not been fortunate enough to find Attorney Dakota Martin. I was wrongfully accused by the state for a crime I did not commit. Attorney Martin was beyond dedicated to ensuring I was not steamrolled by the state by clearly explaining the situation and tirelessly working to expedite a positive outcome in my case. For a process that can normally take 6 months to a year to complete, Dakota had my case dismissed in just 4 months. He went so far as to delay the start of his family vacation so my case could be dismissed that much sooner. That is dedication and I just wanted to say “Thank you, Dakota.”

I hired Caleb to represent me in a criminal case and it was the best decision I could have made. Caleb was always reassuringly confident and prepared, and was available to me whenever I had questions or concerns. He helped get me the best result possible, which certainly would not have happened without his assistance. If you find yourself in need of a criminal attorney, do yourself a favor and hire Caleb.

Last year, 2017, I had called the police because I was assaulted after being asked to move a vehicle. Despite the fact of being injured, I was arrested due to false allegations made by a third party for the benefit of the "victim". I was facing a Malicious destruction of property charge and an Assault and Battery charge. Through Mr. Miller's Strategic coordination and preparation we won the case and the verdict determined NOT guilty on both charges. Mr. Miller, went above and beyond to defend his client. He will work with you to get the job done and to get it done correctly. Mr. Miller was able to convey a message to the Jury of what actually happened despite all of the odds being against us. If you are seeking legal counsel, I highly recommend Mr. Miller, he is a sincere representation of the people and for the people. Due to Mr. Miller's attention to detail, cross examining the victim, and closing statement I was able to let go of the fear and believe in my future again. Thank you Attorney Miller for all that you do.

On a weekend where I needed legal representation and called over a dozen lawyers, Jeffrey was the only one to answer. He was very helpful, always willing to talk, and got my charges dropped before arraignment. Would highly recommend.

The first lawyer I was appointed did show any type of concern or care for my case. When Erin was appointed, she made me feel confident and she showed that she cared and will be dedicated to helping me win. She did an amazing job. She was hands on, kept me informed, explained things with detail, showed concern about me and my family, and got me the victory she new I deserved.

I always thought that people who had issues with the police must have done something to deserve it. I learned the hard way that its not true. I experienced ongoing harassment from the Waltham police who seemed to take advantage of my complicated family situation. I am an African American and a single parent who actually believed that I have rights. Silly me. The police used every opportunity to attempt to get me into trouble repeatedly all in retaliation for my filing internal affairs complaints due to their misconduct. I was fighting a losing battle. This happened in front of my family and friends. They all just said move.
Erin Opperman walked into my life and gave me hope. In my opinion My prior attorney was afraid of the District Attorneys office. The charges were bogus.
Not Erin. After Erin got involved no additional bogus charges were ever filed. She had to fight for several years, not months, years , before the case was finally dismissed.
This included Erin getting my case transferred to another venue. The DA was super angry with her for fighting so hard for my freedom. She had to file motion after motion after motion. She recognized what I was up against and stood by me. Erin refused to let them rail road me. Anyone that is looking for a lawyer who will fight for you as if you were her own family, then she is the person that you want representing you. I was a difficult client, I always calling her crying asking why me? She listened patiently and calmed me down. I thank God that she did not withdraw from my case when things got worse. I would have been convicted of a crime that I did not commit. I thank God that I met Erin, she is lawyer that gives 100% to her client. I would hire her again if I am ever in need of a excellent lawyer who will be committed to my case.

I was accused of sexual assault after becoming involved with a prostitute. I was accused of horrible crimes. Erin was so nice and made me feel comfortable even though we had to discuss these awkward and horrible charges. She knew that this person was lying to protect herself. We prepared for trial several times in her office and eventually my charges were dismissed. She is so kind and respectful and also very aggressive in court.

Bill took ample information over the phone, then gave me his email address. I sent him more detailed information and documentation pertaining to my legal issues via email. I could tell right away that bill had read through the material thoroughly and he was quick to come up with a plan of attack on my behalf. I felt quite confident that Bill would win my case all through the process and when it came to for him to step up to the plate, he did so witch complete and utter competence and commitment to the task. Having him and his legal team on my side allowed me to sleep much better at night knowing that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Bill and his associates.

I shockingly was summoned to a Majesty Court for Felony Misconduct, alleged by The Common wealth. After doing research being a newly residing resident of Massachusetts and zero criminal record I personally spoke to Mr. Yannetti about the retainer of counsel. The flawless, firm fantastic strongly implied my innocence. My case was ruled in my favor, ending in the dismissal of facing Felony charges. Having a criminal background would ruin my life, anyone else facing criminal prosecution Mr. Yannetti and his skilled Associates, (Thank you Lisa for being the most efficient Paralegal) is the BEST IN B-Town.

When our son called to tell us that he was facing some legal charges, we reached out to a Boston friend and were given Kelly's name. She was super responsive and gave us a clear picture of our son's circumstance. With her strong relationships in the legal community, she negotiated a plan for our son to enter a treatment facility (which we had been trying to get him to for some time) and delay the arraignment hearing. Kelly communicated with his therapeutic team during treatment and kept the prosecutor informed of this progress. After his completion of the program, the charges were dismissed. We will always be so grateful for Kelly's counsel and support during this very difficult time. Happily, our son got the help he needed and a second chance to complete his education and move forward in life. ~ Laura L.

Kelly was a intelligent fighter in my case. She had the court officers ask me who is this because she kept the ada off balance stumbling in the court, the funny part about it he was an old veteran type who came in pompous and was knocked of his pedestal by this scrapper from Boston. I would add very sharp legal mind persistent some one you want in your corner if your fighting for your freedom Kelly Cusack is your Lawyer.

I got myself in some trouble and hired Mr Keegan. His knowledge of the law and how the court system works enabled him to get me out of what I concidered a bad place. Not only was he good at navigating the court system, but he took the time to explain everything to me and made made sure I was comfortable along the way. Highly recommend hiring Joe if you find yourself in a jam.

Unfortunately, Joseph Keegan did not live up to the reputation I have read about in my case. His lack of professionalism included being late for court appearances and not returning phone calls, emails or texts. Atty Keegan is very personable, but really was lacking in follow-through.

I can’t express enough how talented, dedicated and knowable your firm is. I’ve used Keegan and Novick a few times and every time they get great results within the criminal justice system. I used them when I was charged illegally with negligent operation of a motor vehicle; I never got arraigned on those charges because of the aggressive attorneys on my side!

Ben Brooks is a great attorney and I do not know what my family would have done without him. We have hired him for multiple cases over the last few years and not only did he work his magic throughout the cases, but he was a life saver for me personally during the whole experience. Ben was available and at our service every single time we called for him and was amazing representation for us at every single court date. I appreciate him more than he will ever know for always being open, honest, realistic and patient with us during this journey. He never stopped fighting for us no matter what was thrown at him and I will forever be grateful for his services.

Benjamin Brooks worked with my family on an issue involving my daughter. He was extremely helpful from our initial phone conversation through representing my daughter at a college hearing. Mr. Brooks, at first, tried to help move a stalled process along in an expeditious manner through repeated contact with officials and with a minimal cost to us. When it became clear that more legal representation was necessary and with very little advance notice, Mr. Brooks agreed to represent my daughter at a formal hearing and provided us with a thorough overview and advance preparation. Due to the fact that my daughter has a disability, Mr. Brooks also worked with officials to make an exception that allowed my husband and me to participate at the hearing, greatly reducing my daughter’s stress level. Mr. Brooks made what could have been a stressful hearing easy to manage, and the issue was resolved quickly with the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Brooks.

I'm writing in appreciation for the excellent legal services I received from Attorney Ben Brooks of Good Schneider Cormier and Fried in Boston. Ben was effective, considerate, and most of all efficacious in his work for me. One case involved eviction, and another a more felonious charge. In both cases he expedited solutions involving the least possible ongoing complication, with good results in both cases.
With what I have come to think of as a characteristic style, Ben not only provided excellent legal service but also calmed me down by the way he talked about these matters.
In the past I have experienced the same kind of high-quality professional services with Ben's firm, Good, Schneider, Cormier & Fried. I consider Ben not only a highly-skilled individual attorney, but also working in a judicious and level-headed way that seems to be the hallmark of the entire GSCF firm.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.
What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?
A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:
- Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
- Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
- Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
- Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
- Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.
How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?
Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
How Much Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a sex crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates are:
- Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
- Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
- Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
- Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.
Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

- Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.
- Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's dismissing charges, reducing penalties, or addressing registration as a sex offender.
By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
