Clarissa Wright

Senior Attorney

A former prosecutor who now represents clients in all Massachusetts criminal defense matters, Clarissa Wright starts her day reminding each of her fellow attorneys how every one of our clients is to be presumed innocent until the District Attorney proves each element of the alleged crime beyond a reasonable doubt.

Whether defending a Springfield theft charge, North Adams drug charge, Worcester domestic abuse allegation, or Boston sex crime, Attorney Wright never backs down and challenges cases in both jury and bench trials.  She has developed a reputation as an aggressive criminal defense attorney who gets results. 

Ask her how her experience as a former prosecutor helps her clients, and she'll focus on three points.  First, in investigations she knows how to have cases dropped before charges are ever filed; second, she can negotiate with the prosecutor for drastically charges, and (third) in the event of a conviction she can mitigate sentencing and penalties.

Attorney Clarissa never takes the easy way out.  She won't just enter a guilty plea for you and walk away.  Even when the charges of assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest surround a simple event between friends at a bar, she is committed to winning.  Not only does she want to keep her clients out of jail, but she wants to protect their criminal records and prevent lost job opportunities in order to give every person that she serves the promising future that they deserve.

When faced with a potential client who is undecided on whether to retain her services, Attorney Wright strongly recommends that he or she always uses an experienced and aggressive criminal attorney and never defends himself or herself in a criminal proceeding.  "There are countless legal traps and loopholes that can result in severe sentences," she insists. 

Given the flat-fee structure of her legal services, Clarissa often emphasizes how her fixed pricing and payment options to qualified clients gives every man or woman the access to the legal representation they need.

Attorney Wright is a Clark Atlanta University undergraduate, and she attended Western New England Law School in Springfield.  She is local resident in the area.
