Neil is an honest, personable attorney. Really helped out a great deal. I couldn't have been more content. He's extremely honest and professional.

In one night my young son went from an independent working young man with and FID card to living a MA nightmare of facing multiple gun charges. I made the mistake of hiring the first criminal defense attorney because there isn't a lot of options at 8:00 am. I later found Neil on a Goal sight, and he actually reached out to me because I had questions.. He was patient, responsive and knowledgeable about every charge. Neil spoke to my son like he was a person, not a criminal. Not only does he do his job well, he appears to like what he does and it shows. Neil was able to navigate the judicial system and our family can now move on with our life.. If you are looking for a 2A lawyer, this is your person.

Not enough good things to say about Neil. If you're being persecuted by this redcoat state over your 2nd Amendment rights, he's your best legal defense. My case started off about as bad as it can get, I was being charged with a litany of things, most of which carried mandatory minimum sentences in prison. My first lawyer was garbage; never communicated, didn't really advocate for me, didn't care if I lost or won the case. He eventually quit, at which point we hired Neil, which was the best decision we could have made. I can proudly say that after almost three years, my case was finally closed today, with no jail time and only a year of probation. When I first got arrested, I never imagined that this could be the outcome, but Neil made it happen. He goes the distance, is communicative and understanding, and he has some funny stories. He is also great to talk to if you're a gun guy in general. I plan to get out of this horrible state ASAP, but God forbid they ever come after me in the future, I'd be extremely fortunate to be represented by Mr. Tassel; and so would you. If it's gun related, look no further. This is your attorney

Oh man, where do I even start? It’s extremely scary how one challenging decision can change your future. Especially when you’re at such a young age. Thankfully, we were blessed to have Neil as an Attorney! Neil took the time to know and represent us. He spoke and acted in passionate ways as if we knew each other for years. He spoke from our hearts when we couldn’t. He handled our case in a professional, communicative and well organized manner. Even though juvenile cases weren’t Neil’s primary focus. He was able to support in getting us a second chance in life. This case wasn’t an easy one but due to the success prior and after the charges we felt hopeful with Neil’s services. No words or emotions can express how thankful we are for having Neil and we highly recommend him.

I was charged with improper storage of a firearm in Worcester MA and Neil helped me every step of the way. He gave me invaluable advice before I even hired him, and asked a very reasonable fee when it came time to represent me at the Clerk Magistrate hearing. He knocked it out of the park at this hearing and the charges stayed there, and now I will be able to get my LTC back. Very grateful for Neils professionalism and extensive knowledge of MA law. I would highly recommend him.

Would recommend Neil to anyone that has any fifth amendment rights taken from them. He was very curtesy to his clients, getting his case dismissed.

I was recommended Atty. Tassel from GOAL - Gun Owners' Action League upon suspension of my LTC. He was very interested in my case from the beginning and demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism during our preliminary conversations, without requesting unreasonable compensation for the initial consultation. Once the case moved forward to petition, I was in constant contact with Atty. Tassel with regular updates. Do not be discouraged - Atty. Tassel is a busy man, and your case is not the only one. I expected as such to not have immediate responses but this did not impede the consistency of our interactions. Additionally, you must work for what result you seek to have. It is not a solo effort - Atty. Tassel will emphasize the importance of providing as much evidence as possible to build a viable, solid, and effective argument for the case. It was important to recognize the cohesion between client and counsel as it was impossible to go about this alone. While I respect the polite verbal fencing that takes place in the courtroom, I will heed you to not expect a fiery discourse as seen in the movies. Atty. Tassel will not speak based on emotion, focus on the facts and evidence presented, and deliver a worthy argument based on his professional, demonstrated experience in the field of LTCs and Second Amendment litigation. While I was confident in his abilities, any experience in court is daunting to say the least - many a time I doubted my result to yield in my favor. It is a 50/50 shot every time; although honesty, faith in God, and confidence in true Justice are expectations to have when working with Atty. Tassel.

Neil is an outstanding lawyer whose intelligence and expertise make him an extremely valuable asset to have on your side. Navigating the notoriously strict and complex firearms laws of Massachusetts can be an exceedingly difficult task, but Neil's unparalleled understanding of these laws sets him apart. He will work diligently to ensure a precise and accurate interpretation of the laws. Given the severe penalties at stake, entrusting your case to anyone less knowledgeable in this area would be highly unwise.

Where do I start? Last July I had gotten in a lot of trouble and troubled myself with perscribed pills. Neil didn’t just simply represent me- but he helped me get help. Today I stand almost a whole year sober and free. He was a shark in the courtroom. He’s more than just a lawyer- he was a friend. He genuinely cared! He never gave up! I can’t say enough about Neil! If you need a lawyer in MA- I highlyyyyy recommend Neil!!!!

Neil came recommended and when we talked and when l meet with him I had all the confidence in him definitely choose the right man

Neil went far and beyond to help me win my case. Im super thankful that he was the one representing me. He gave me great advice and and left no stone unturned. We eventually went to trial and thanks to him i came out with a victory. Not only is he a professional but he is also a kind hearted person who genuinely cares about what happens to you. So he will fight for you till the very end.

I hired Neil after I accidentally took a handgun in a carry on bag through the Boston Logan TSA checkpoint as was charged by Boston PD. Having very limited experience with the criminal court system, I was distraught as a criminal conviction would mean expulsion from my industry. MA is a notoriously difficult landscape to navigate with regards to firearm issues, and known for very heavy-handed punishments for violations, intentional or not. Neil was very knowledgeable, walked me through what to expect, and kept me appraised of what needed to be done. At the hearing, he represented me well, and we received a favorable verdict. I would recommend him to anyone facing a firearm issue in the state of MA.
