CRIMINAL LAW

Being charged with any crime is a serious matter.  Swomley & Associates vigorously defends all criminal matters, from misdemeanors to lifetime felonies. 

Our attorneys have extensive trial experience and exceptional writing skills.  We pride ourselves on actively investigating each case, often sending the trial attorney out with our investigator to conduct interviews and gain 1st hand contact with the witnesses at an early date. We aggressively litigate pre trial issues, maximizing discovery and seizing opportunities to suppress evidence or dismiss the case.

We also know the forensic experts necessary to properly analyze the evidence. This day and age, cases can be won or lost depending on an attorney’s ability to understand the forensic evidence against the client. We are constantly challenging forensic results, assuring that our clients are not convicted based on faulty or non-existent scientific methods.

We represent clients at all levels and throughout the state: from District Court to Superior Court; from the city of Boston to Berkshire county.
