Skilled Attorneys for Criminal Defense & Personal Injury Matters

As an experienced Springfield, MA OUI attorney, our founding attorney spent many years in the criminal defense system. In addition to providing you with an OUI defense, our team is knowledgeable in defending clients against all types of criminal charges. With over 200 cases before juries, we are more than qualified in all of the legal skills necessary to produce a successful outcome for clients.

Whether you need counsel for a personal injury matter or another serious criminal offense, we are prepared to help you through this time. We care deeply about our clients and walk with them through every aspect of their legal challenge.

Staying Prepared for Personal Injury Cases

A major reason for our success is our extraordinary level of preparedness. This is one of the most essential skills for an attorney. Without it, an attorney and their client can be surprised by the prosecution or other party.

This applies to all types of law, including personal injury law. Personal injury law is that area of law that applies to the injury of the body, mind or emotions of another, as opposed to property damage. It can be harm caused by the negligence of another or possibly intentional harm as in a defamation case.

Most commonly, personal injury cases involve:

  • Vehicle accidents
  • Work accidents
  • Dangerous product injuries
  • Slip and fall accidents

Medical malpractice cases also fall under personal injury where negligence by a doctor, psychiatrist or dentist resulted in harm or death to the patient. If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury from another's negligence, our firm stands ready to help you seek financial compensation for your injuries.

Retain a Seasoned Springfield, MA Criminal Lawyer

In addition to personal injury cases, our firm handles other areas of the law as well. Traffic violations, juvenile crimes, and white collar crimes are just some examples of the many practice areas in which our team can provide trusted counsel. The law is a very complex subject and it can make it difficult to know and understand your rights. If you have any legal concerns or worries, we are happy to consult with you and answer your questions. Don't continue to worry needlessly when answers and help is available to you.
