Wednesday Win! ⚖️  Against the odds, we secured a 1-year general continuance for a challenging wiretap charge, no conviction, no guilty plea, and no jail time. After one year of probation, the case will be dismissed, offering our client the chance to put this behind them. #WiretapCase #MassachusettsLawyer #CriminalDefenseAttorney

One simple mistake at Logan Airport almost turned into a life-changing situation for our client—a felony charge for a legally owned firearm. But with the right defense and a clear understanding of the facts, we were able to prove it was just an honest oversight.   Remember, firearm laws vary state by state, and Massachusetts doesn’t take kindly to firearm violations. If you're traveling from a state with more relaxed gun laws, it's best to leave your firearm at home. A small mistake can lead to serious consequences. 🚫🔫 Let this case remind you of the importance of having an experienced firearms attorney. Don’t let one slip-up define your future! #FirearmLaw #MassachusettsLawyer #FirearmsAttorney
