Boston Criminal Appeals Lawyer

Appeals and post-conviction matters require an attorney who excels in brief writing and oral argument. I am well-trained in legal persuasive writing and I have spent the last 17 years arguing cases before judges and juries in Massachusetts. I have successfully handled appeals and motions, including:

• Motions for new trial
• Reversal of convictions
• Motions to revise and revoke sentences
• Motions to seal or expunge criminal records

In one case, I successfully convinced the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that my client was not in a possession of the drugs that were found at a house where he had been staying.  In another case, I won a new trial for a client who had been wrongfully convicted and was serving a life sentence in state prison for murder.  I have handled federal re-sentencing cases pursuant to the Booker case, which struck down mandatory sentencing guidelines in federal cases and made the sentences advisory instead.  I have successfully helped many clients to seal and/or expunge their criminal records -- which has allowed them to honestly answer "no" on any job application when asked if they have been arrested or convicted for any crime.

After conviction, there are a number of options open to a client seeking to correct an injustice done to them.  An attorney must keep up-to-date with statutory and case law in order to properly represent his clients in appellate and other post-conviction matters.  My years of experience and cutting-edge legal knowledge will provide you with the best chance of success.  Feel free to contact me to discuss your particular issue.
