Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorneys

Enforcing your constitutional rights in a criminal prosecution

Feinberg & Kamholtz has extensive experience in criminal defense, at the trial, appellate and post-conviction stages, in both state and federal courts.  Our cases range from white-collar matters — including bank, tax and mail fraud — to offenses involving drugs and firearms, to crimes of violence.

The attorneys of Feinberg & Kamholtz are aggressive in the pursuit of justice.  In many cases, we have gotten the charges reduced or dismissed before trial.  Approximately 75 percent of the cases we have tried to a jury have resulted in not-guilty verdicts or a conviction on a lesser crime.  We make it a practice to question every aspect of the government’s case, working closely with our own forensic experts and private investigators.

Preparedness, intelligence, creativity and experience are what set us apart in criminal defense practice.  Our attorneys handle a variety of criminal cases involving:

Professional licenses and ethical defense

Allegations of fraud or misrepresentation can lead to criminal, civil and professional penalties.    Our attorneys are uniquely qualified to represent you, whether in court or before administrative or disciplinary bodies.

Our criminal practice defends you against charges of corruption, fraud or misrepresentation brought by the state or federal government.  Our civil practice can defend you against complaints brought by alleged victims.  Our professional malpractice attorneys protect you from sanction by a state board authorized to withhold, revoke or suspend your professional license.

Our attorneys are uniquely positioned to provide you with ethical defense.  Some of our attorneys have served on boards designed to develop standards for ethical conduct in the legal profession, including the State Bar of Overseers, and a judicial committee for ethical conduct among justices.  We invite you to call or email us with questions about your case.

A low-key approach to high-stakes litigation

Media attention and journalistic sensationalism add layers of complexity to an already strained legal situation.  Prosecutors are under additional pressure to secure a conviction and to get bad guys off the street.   The attorneys at Feinberg & Kamholtz are extremely familiar with such high-profile cases.

We understand the gravity of your situation.  We realize that your freedom, your reputation and your livelihood are at stake in the upcoming criminal prosecution.   We realize that media attention does not necessarily help your case.

Our goal is to provide you with the dedicated legal representation you deserve when faced with high-stakes prosecutions.    Our cases recorded in the media include representation of:

• Lyndon H. LaRouche –  political extremist
• Worcester Commons LLC – Bancroft Commons – Clean Air Act asbestos charges
• Carlos Rezendes – beating death, “the Tasty Chicken” case
• Jason Acquino – Harvard University dorm slaying
• James Keown – poisoning death of wife
• Joel Tenenbaum – file sharing copyright infringement
