Cambridge Criminal Defense Lawyers
Former District Attorneys —Now Aggressive Defense Attorneys
People facing criminal charges in Cambridge do not have to face them alone. It is the job of your criminal defense lawyer to stand steadfast by your side and take charge of making sure your interests are protected and your story is truly heard.
A Powerhouse Criminal Defense Firm
With 13 criminal law offices in Greater Boston, 15 aggressive defense attorneys, and over 50 years of combined courtroom trial experience, the Massachusetts Criminal Defense Group is often the law firm recommended by others when asked who to call for the most effective criminal defense possible. That is the bottom line.
With former prosecutors and big firm attorneys on our team, we know how to develop an effective theory of the case, how to challenge evidence, how to cross-examine witnesses, and how to find the weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Massachusetts Prosecutors Push Hard to Secure Convictions. Our Criminal Defense Attorneys Push Harder to Prevent Them.
Our team never backs down from a fight and we fight for each one of our clients as if we were representing a family member. Some attorneys take a relaxed attitude, sitting back and waiting until the first court date comes around. Not us. We take an offensive approach — with the goal of preventing charges from being filed in the first place.

The Types of Cases We Handle
We assist juveniles, high school and college students, local residents and out-of-town visitors who are in need of defense in areas such as:
Assault: Charges are not limited to people who simply attack other people for little or no reason at all. In some cases, men and women who are not even responsible for starting the fight could be charged with assault. Since police often arrive after a fight has ended, angry spouses or significant others can often convince police officers to arrest you, even if it wasn't your fault at all. Depending on the type of victim involved (police officer, child, elderly person, etc.), whether a weapon was used, and the person's prior criminal record, varying degrees of assault charges can result.
DUI/OUI/Drunk driving: We challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results and improper traffic stops. During trial, our attorneys aggressively cross-examine police officers to determine if they conducted their duties properly during the initial arrest.
Child sex crimes: In blended families, stepchildren falsely allege sexual abuse to get back at a stepparent. In other cases, teens falsely allege in order to move in with the other parent. We see children, parents, teachers, and others misinterpret these situations and proceed to file charges when no wrongs have ever occurred.
Disorderly conduct: This common "catch-all" charge is used by police officers to establish control and demonstrate authority. It might sound insignificant, but it is a common criminal offense that carries harsh penalties and potential jail time. When hired to defend you, we'll question every police procedure, pursue every advantage, and seek a timely and positive resolution.
If you have charges pending against you, the most critical window for defense work may be the first few days following an arrest, or even prior to formal charges being filed. By getting to work immediately, often we can locate favorable defense evidence and witnesses, and get a "head start" toward defending your rights.
The Advantage of a Having a Cambridge Criminal Defense Lawyer
Most people searching for a criminal defense attorney are not aware of the significant advantage that is available to them when they hire a local attorney who is familiar with the local courthouse — along with its procedures and unique systems. Also very helpful is an attorney who knows the judges and prosecutors and who has a good reputation for honesty. That can make a difference if a judge is undecided on a certain issue and could rule either way.
For this specific reason, each of the attorneys on our team are assigned to specific courts, held accountable to learning the ins-and-outs of that court, along with having a complete understanding of how the prosecutors and judges work in their particular court.
