Types of Criminal Cases

Criminal Defense Lawyer in Boston, Massachusetts

I believe in trying criminal cases whenever necessary to get the best possible result for my clients. Throughout the 10 years of my criminal defense practice, I have tried nearly 50 cases and handled hundreds of pleas and scores of motions to suppress evidence and other evidentiary motions.

My aggressive and strategic approach to criminal defense has won me many referrals from attorneys who prefer not to litigate. My colleagues know that the clients they refer to me are in good hands. For a strong defense against any criminal charge, contact me, attorney Joseph M. Griffin, Jr., for a free initial consultation.

My Boston law practice focuses almost exclusively on criminal defense. I defend adults and minors accused of any type of criminal charge, including:

• Any misdemeanor charge that begins with a clerk's hearing — often an excellent chance to resolve the criminal charge early in the game
• Drug crimes, such as trafficking, possession, distribution
• Gun offenses, including concealed weapons, unlicensed guns, and illegal weapons charges
• Theft and larceny, charges such as shoplifting, auto theft, and purse snatching
• Insurance fraud, cases such as filing false auto theft claims and arson
• Embezzlement, including employee theft, misrepresenting charities, and altering financial records
• Assault, including charges linked to domestic violence, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon
• Rape and sexual assault, including date rape, statutory rape, and child molestation
• Stalking, including harassing phone calls and making criminal threats
• Robbery, including armed robbery
• Murder and manslaughter charges, including vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter
• Juvenile crimes, including drug, vandalism, and shoplifting charges

Pre-Charge Representation · Probation Violations · Record Sealing

It is never too early to seek advice from a criminal defense lawyer. This is true in any type of criminal case — and it is especially important in serious felony investigations such as drug crimes, financial crimes or murder. I regularly provide legal counsel and representation to individuals facing criminal investigations. The earlier I become involved in my client's defense, the greater my opportunity to build a strong case.

I also work with individuals after the conclusion of a criminal case. Clients come to me for representation in probation violation charges, as well as for help sealing a criminal record to minimize potential CORI issues.
