What We Do

We defend individuals and companies in serious cases – federal and state, trial and appellate – where judgment, experience, creativity, and relentless advocacy make all the difference.

• White-collar, cryptocurrency, healthcare, and financial crimes
• National security, cybercrime, and export/import offenses
• Violent and organized crime
• Human-trafficking, sex, drug, and firearms cases
• Grand jury subpoenas, forfeiture matters, and extradition proceedings

We know the stakes: your freedom, your reputation, your future. Whether it’s a white-collar investigation or a life-altering indictment, we fight with skill, creativity, and resolve.

We represent individuals, companies, and institutions in a wide range of civil litigation. We bring the same discipline and acumen to civil disputes as we do to criminal defense, resolving complex matters with serious legal and financial consequences.

• Breach of contract and fiduciary duty
• Trade secrets and unfair trade practices
• Employment and workplace disputes
• Defamation and First Amendment litigation
• False Claims Act and subpoena defense

Complex civil litigation demands advocates who can manage pressure, anticipate moves and motives of the other side, and adapt in real time. We thrive in those moments, defending our clients’ interests, advancing their goals, and delivering results with efficiency and effectiveness.

Appeals require clarity, focus, and intellectual rigor. We handle criminal and civil appeals in state and federal courts at every level, and we pursue post-conviction remedies when the fight isn’t over.

• Criminal and civil appeals in state and federal courts
• Petitions for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court
• Habeas corpus petitions
• Motions for new trial

We combine thoughtful legal analysis and careful review of evidence with persuasive writing and oral advocacy. Whether correcting an error, undoing an injustice, or shaping the law, we bring sharp focus and relentless effort.

We fight for people whose rights have been violated by police, prosecutors, or government institutions. With the ACLU of Massachusetts, we helped achieve the largest mass exoneration in U.S. history.

• Wrongful conviction litigation
• Police misconduct and accountability cases
• Section 1983 claims against state officials
• Federal Tort Claims Act and Bivens actions
• Discrimination and other constitutional rights violations

These cases, which challenge those in power, require passion, courage, and dedication. We bring relentless advocacy, righteous indignation, and deep experience to help our clients seek justice, accountability, and compensation from the government.

Based in Boston, surrounded by world-class universities, and educated at Ivy League institutions, our lawyers are well-positioned to defend students, faculty, and researchers facing administrative proceedings.

• Title IX investigations and proceedings
• Student disciplinary hearings and appeals
• Academic integrity and plagiarism inquiries
• Research misconduct investigations
• Faculty and staff disciplinary matters

These cases may not start in a courtroom, but the consequences are just as serious. We protect academic futures with strong defenses and by holding institutions to fair and lawful standards.

When fraud or corruption threatens public trust, individuals who step forward need serious legal support. We represent whistleblowers under the False Claims Act and related laws, guiding them through each stage of the process.

• False Claims Act (FCA) litigation
• Confidential reporting outside FCA
• Whistleblower retaliation and protection claims
• Strategic advice before filing whistleblower claims

Grounded in criminal defense, we are natural advocates for whistleblowers. We bring discretion, persistence, and judgment to help our clients pursue justice and protect their privacy and safety.
