Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Because of the nature of the consultation and the preparation that goes into it, only prospective criminal defense clients will be eligible for free consultations.

A paid consultation with our expert attorneys is a one-time fee of $250 and can be conducted via Zoom, over the phone, or in person at our Boston or Salem office. Clients may ask follow-up questions and also have the option to book a $350 consultation with our founder and managing attorney, Matthew W. Peterson.
Unfortunately, our office cannot help a prospective immigration client if you have already begun the process either on your own, or with another attorney.
Yes! If you would rather hire a private attorney, I can take over your criminal defense case that a court appointed attorney has already started (even if you have already appeared in court).
Yes! As long as the charges are out of Massachusetts, we can help you with your criminal defense case even if you are not currently living in the state.
No. If you are looking to appeal a denial, or obtain a firearms license outside of the state of Massachusetts, you must contact a firearms attorney in the state in which you are trying to obtain a license.
