Criminal Defense in Massachusetts
Being charged with a crime is one of the most serious and stressful experiences a person can face. A conviction can carry life-altering consequences—from jail time and loss of employment to permanent damage to your reputation. When everything is on the line, you need a defense attorney who understands not just the law, but the best path forward in any situation.
At Dashner Law, I’ve been defending people in Massachusetts for over a decade. I fight for dismissals, reduced charges, and acquittals—always with the goal of protecting your rights and your future.
Common Charges We Defend
I represent clients in a wide range of criminal matters, including but not limited to:
OUI/DUI (Operating Under the Influence)
Drug Possession and Distribution
Theft and Larceny Offenses
Domestic Violence
Disorderly Conduct
Gun and Firearm Charges
Each case is unique—and I treat it that way. I never take a one-size-fits-all approach to your defense.
Your Rights Matter
Police and prosecutors don’t always play fair. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a lawyer who knows how to challenge:
Unlawful searches and seizures
Improper Miranda warnings
Unreliable witness testimony
Procedural violations
I routinely file motions to suppress, dismiss charges, and fight to reduce exposure at every stage of the case.
What to Expect in a Massachusetts Criminal Case
Whether you've already been arraigned or are facing an upcoming hearing, I guide you through each stage:
Investigation & Arrest
Arraignment
Pretrial Hearings & Motions
Plea Negotiations or Trial
Post-Conviction Options (Appeal or Sealing)
You will always know where your case stands and what comes next.
