Chelsea District Court.  Defendant  was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicating liquor after state police inquired why he had stopped his car on a bridge in a travel lane. After the defendant failed so-called “field sobriety” tests he was arrested by two Troopers.  I was able to convince the jury that my client was not guilty.

Dedham District Court.  Defendant was arrested and charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute it because of the quantity of drugs found on his person  by the Wellesley Police. He had been driving up and down an otherwise quiet residential street blowing his horn and screaming for more than a few minutes when the police came and stopped him for disturbing the peace.  I was able to convince the prosecutor  to dismiss the charge of possession of a class A substance (heroin) with intent to distribute. I was also able to prevent other criminal charges from issuing when I pointed out to the police that the defendant’s car, which had been in the police lot for several days, had not been secured – was unlocked – and therefore the contraband in plain view on the floor would not be admissible in evidence.  

Framingham District Court. The Defendant was a former United States Marine who wanted to re-enlist in the Marine Corp. However, he was charged with assault and battery on a nurse in the parking lot at MCI Framingham, a large women’s prison. Three Corrections Officers testified that they witnessed the defendant strike the alleged victim with an umbrella and grapple with her. She testified that the defendant approached and struck her after she told him to go away and leave her alone. I was able to obtain a not guilty verdict from the jury.

Framingham District Court.   Defendant was charged with OUI/ operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicating liquor.  Over twenty-five years ago this was my first drunk driving case. My cross examination of the arresting officer was brief: you testified that the defendant, in your opinion, failed the heel-to-toe walk and turn test, is that correct?”  “Yes.”  Did you notice anything unusual about his left leg? Yes.  Did you observe that he had a cast on that leg? Yes. No further questions your Honor. “The defense rests.” The jury returned a not guilty verdict.  

Framingham District Court.  Defendant was charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicating liquor and registered 0.15 blood alcohol level.  At trial I was able to demonstrate that his coordination and ability to safely operate his car had not been affected and he was found not guilty.

Framingham District Court.   At a Magistrate’s hearing the police and representative of a retail chain store  sought a complaint against the Defendant for shoplifting based upon video surveillance and employee statements. I was able to convince the  Clerk-Magistrate not to issue a criminal complaint.

Framingham District Court.  The defendant was charged with assault and battery on his former wife in her apartment on the third floor of an apartment building.  On the second day of the Defendant’s bail and dangerousness hearing I was able, on cross examination, to have the alleged victim admit that her injuries from the alleged assault and battery were similar to self-inflicted injuries she had admitted to in the past, she also admitted that she had forced her teenage daughter to lie under oath the day before when she testified that she had seen her father in the apartment at the time of the alleged attack.  I later tried the case to a jury and obtained a not guilty verdict.

Framingham District Court.  Defendant was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a handgun after her car was stopped on a tip from a confidential informant and the gun was found under her seat.  The prosecutor had several police officers to testify that the stop and search of the car was lawful and the defendant did not have a license to possess the gun found under her seat. I was able to have all of the charges dismissed.

Marlborough District Court and  (transferred to)  Middlesex Superior Court.  Defendant was arrested at the scene and charged  for two separate incidents of armed robbery while masked (which each carried a mandatory minimum five (5) years in prison). I was able to get the Defendant into a residential rehabilitation program while he awaited trial after he had spent several months in jail awaiting trial.  The prosecutor had overwhelming evidence (including a confession)  to prove that the Defendant had robbed two  pharmacies for narcotics/vicadan to maintain his addiction. I was able to convince the judge to place the Defendant on probation and not send him to prison when he changed his plea to guilty.

Natick District Court.  Defendant was charged with breaking into a store he had previously managed in the Natick Mall. The prosecution pointed out that the means of entry used in the break-in was similar to that which the defendant had employed when he had been inadvertently locked out and had had to lawfully break-in to open up the store for business one morning when he worked there. Additionally, the prosecutor was able to show that the defendant sold tickets to a show which had been stolen in the break-in.   I was able to convince the jury that my client was not guilty.

Natick District Court.   Arriving at the court on an unrelated matter I observed a former client being sentenced to two years in jail for a failure to have paid money previously ordered by the court.  The defendant appeared to have had a heart attack and was hospitalized within an hour of his incarceration. I was able to convince the judge to release the defendant and stay his sentence – keeping him out of jail while he recovered and later paid the money owed.     

Middlesex Superior Court.  Probationer in Michigan wished to transfer his probation to Massachusetts so that he could live near relatives and friends.  I was able to secure the transfer though the Probation Commissioner’s office utilizing the Inter State Probation Compact.

Middlesex Superior Court.  Defendant was charged with trafficking in cocaine. The prosecutor presented testimony that the car which the defendant was riding in had failed to stop for a minor traffic violation and the police (both local and state) gave chase finally arresting the occupants  after the car ran out of gas.  Evidence was presented to show that a very large amount of cocaine was thrown out the windows of the car as it  speeded along in front of multiple police cars.  The police cruiser immediately behind the defendants’ car  had had to turn on its windshield wipers and washer spray to remove cocaine covering the windshield in order to see the road.  The prosecutor refused to break the charges down to a lesser offense insisting on a three year mandatory minimum even if my client changed her plea.  Police testified  that they saw my client actively throwing cocaine out the window as they gave chase.  Evidence was presented  by the prosecutor that the defendant had defaulted  court and run off years before to escape trial on these charges. I was able to convince the jury that my client was not guilty.

Milford District Court.  The Defendant was charged with not registering as a sex offender.  I was able to show that he had presented himself to register at the local police departments in the municipalities where he lived and worked and had the charges dismissed.

Newton District Court.  Defendant was the subject of a complaint for a restraining order. I was able to convince the Judge not to issue the order.

Newburyport District Court.  Before I was hired, the defendant had been convicted and sentenced to jail for an assault and battery.  The defendant’s motion for a new trial was allowed, the previous conviction was vacated  and I was able to have the charges dismissed.

Quincy District Court.  Defendant was charged with OUI / operating a motor vehicle under the influence of an intoxicating liquor or drugs while he was on probation for another matter.  I was able to  convince his probation officer not to seek incarceration from the Court on a Probation surrender  hearing  because of the new charges and obtained a not guilty verdict.

Westborough District Court.  Police sought a complaint of assault and battery against defendant, a medical professional. I was able to convince the Clerk-Magistrate, after hearing,  not  to issue a complaint.

West Roxbury District Court. Defendant was charged with possession and distribution of child pornography via the internet.  Boston police detective using sophisticated software had found recorded evidence that the Defendant had allowed others to mine his computer for unlawful pornographic images.  During execution of a search warrant prior to his being charged the defendant gave a recorded confession. I was able to negotiate a disposition with the prosecutor (which was accepted by the judge)  which placed the defendant on probation without any incarceration.
