Lawyers defending criminal cases in Brockton are faced with many challenges when their cases are tried before a jury. Jurors come from all over Plymouth County to serve. Many of these jurors are from affluent towns. They are often unable to appreciate or accept the urban ways of life. It is the job of the criminal defense lawyer to make sure that these jurors remain true to their oath and uphold the laws of Massachusetts and the Constitution. We pride ourselves on our ability to educate the jurors in this county and others about our clients and their defenses so that they are able to overcome their prejudices and fairly view the facts of each case. Plea negotiations, motions to suppress evidence and motions to dismiss are tools we use to resolve criminal cases in the Plymouth County Courts as well. Lobby conferences with judges and assistant district attorneys have proven beneficial to our clients in many cases.

We have been representing criminal defendants in those courthouses for over 20 years. Drug cases and sexual assaults are the most common crimes that we defend in those courts.
