Whether you need representation for criminal defense, real estate transactions, probate or civil litigation, you want a lawyer you can count on. For each situation, you want to be sure that your attorney has the skill and experience to help you make important legal decisions.
I am attorney Stephen E. Dawley. I have helped people get through complex legal matters for more than 30 years. I am ready to help you and your family resolve your legal issues in a timely, straightforward manner. Please call my Framingham office at 508-283-3095 or send me an e-mail to schedule an appointment.
Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful and challenging events that can happen. A conviction, whether for a felony or misdemeanor, can carry significant penalties, including jail time and fines. Other long-term consequences can include loss of your driver's license and negative effects on employment and immigration status. Hiring experienced defense counsel is essential if you have been charged with:
- Drunk driving, including arrests for multiple offenses. Examining the arrest itself and any related alcohol testing may help reduce or dismiss charges.
- Drug possession and possession with intent to distribute
- Assault and battery, as well as aggravated assault and battery
- Probation violations and not fulfilling community service
- Juvenile crimes, including underage drinking
Additional Practice Areas
My legal practice also includes three other areas of law:
- Real estate — I represent buyers and sellers of both residential and commercial real estate. I can assist you from beginning to end, evaluating offers, negotiating terms, helping you secure financing and representing you at the closing.
- Probate administration — When a family member's estate passes through probate, an experienced attorney can help facilitate the process, ensuring that the estate is distributed according to the decedent's wishes.
- Civil litigation — I can represent you in a variety of civil matters, including personal injury and breach of contract. My skill as a negotiator and a litigator is valuable in reaching a successful outcome to a wide range of disputes.
