Dawley.

Helping You Navigate the Criminal Justice System

Anyone charged with a crime is up against the vast resources of the District Attorney’s office. Their only job is to prosecute people charged with crimes. As a criminal defense attorney I protect my clients’ rights, guiding them competently through the criminal justice system with the goal of getting every client the best possible outcome to their case. I meet with each client as many times as neccessary, review all aspects of the case, analyze the possibilites, and discuss with the client in detail all the possible options. I know that every case is different and every person is different and I approach every criminal case with that in mind. The list of criminal cases I defend is long, but includes OUI (also known as DUI or drunk driving), larceny, drug cases, probation matters, domestic violence, and juvenile crimes.
I can also defend you against many motor vehicle offenses, including:

  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Driving an uninsured vehicle
  • Driving an unregistered vehicle
  • Operating to endanger

If you are charged with these or other criminal offenses I can help you. I have over three decades of experience handling drunk driving, drug possession, assault and battery, and other criminal matters. There is no substitute in criminal cases for experience and skill. I have handled cases in virtually every court in eastern Masachusetts and know how to interact with the District Attorney’s office, probation, and judges to get the best possible disposition for your case.
