Swampscott, located on the North Shore of Massachusetts, was settled in the early 1600s. The town’s name comes from the Native American word “Swampskitt,” meaning “place of the red rock.” Originally part of Lynn, it became its own town in 1852.
In the late 1800s, Swampscott grew as a popular summer resort for wealthy families, who built grand homes along its beautiful coastline. Over time, it transitioned into a residential community, combining historical charm with modern development. Today, Swampscott is known for its picturesque neighborhoods, strong schools, and coastal beauty, while still preserving its rich history.
Our law firm has been serving Swampscott and surrounding communities for years. With a focus on both local and statewide law, we are well-versed in the unique challenges that clients face in the North Shore area. Whether you’re in Lynn, Salem, Marblehead, or Swampscott, we know the ins and outs of the courts and the local legal landscape.
We bring years of experience to every case, drawing from a deep understanding of local laws and the nuances of Essex County courts. Our clients trust us because we’re not just Swampscott Criminal Defense attorneys but part of the community.
