Stephen Neyman — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 18:09:09 GMT

Our client is a graduate student at a prestigious local University. He is working towards his Master’s in computer engineering. In January of this year a fellow student went to the police department complaining that our client had been harassing her relentlessly. The woman claimed that our client was persistent in his efforts to date her. When he was ultimately rejected by her he supposedly began stalking her, sending threatening text, and telephoning her non-stop. The woman provided documentation to the police that purported to support her contentions. Consequently, our client was charged with criminal harassment in violation of G.L. c. 265 Section 43A. He was also served with a harassment prevention order that day in accordance with G.L. c. 258E. Several days later the woman returned to the police station alleging that this man had violated the HPO by texting her additional threatening messages. More charges were filed, specifically a violation of the HPO. As a result, bail was revoked and the man was ordered confined to the local jail for 90 days. Later that day his family contacted attorney Stephen Neyman and hired him to represent the man for both cases. Today, we went into court and convinced the judge to reinstate bail and release our client.
