In April 2017, the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson, a prominent criminal defense attorney in Boston Massachusetts, achieved a significant victory by securing probation and release for a client facing serious charges of assault and robbery. Given our client’s prior record, a conviction could have resulted in a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
The assault and robbery case involved allegations that our client had used a firearm to steal a wallet and subsequently assaulted the victim with the weapon. Our dedicated team undertook a comprehensive investigation, gathering critical evidence and interviewing numerous witnesses.
The Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson built a robust defense centered on misidentification, as the victim had only recognized our client through media coverage. This crucial aspect of our strategy played a key role in challenging the prosecution’s case.
On the day of trial, our meticulous preparation led the prosecution to reconsider their stance, resulting in a reduced charge and an offer of probation. This outcome allowed our client to avoid prison time and regain his freedom.
If you or someone you know is facing criminal charges, it is crucial to have an experienced attorney who will vigorously defend your rights. Contact the Law Office of Matthew W. Peterson today at (617) 295-7500 to schedule a consultation and discuss your case with a knowledgeable Boston criminal defense lawyer.
