I’ve wanted to be a criminal defense
lawyer since I was 14 years old I know
that because a teacher once had a class
his Home Room class do an essay about
what you want to do when you grow up and
this was in the 60s people said I want
to be an airline pilot or a major league
baseball player I wanted to be a
criminal defense lawyer since the age of
14
and what really I like about it is ex
achieving the client’s goals if it’s a
jury trial or a jury waved trial that a
client wants I’ve done over
250 major criminal cases in the superior
court and the federal court and at the
end of a case however it turns out I
always leave as a friend of my client
my father used to say when I was growing
up self-praise is no Praise In fact it
gots to be such a a cardinal fact of my
upgrowth that we called it SP is no P so
I’m a little uncomfortable but I’ll tell
you what means the most to me I’m a
member of the American College of trial
lawyers which is the most prestigious
Organization for trial lawyers in the
United States for 20 years I was
co-chair of the mass Association of
criminal defense lawyers Strike Force
and I was the one who most often was
called when a lawyer was facing contempt
or some other pressure that’s improper
on him for 24 years I was on the
judicial nominating commission under
five different governors
this is a real appreciative value of
having me on that uh very high honor and
finally recently I uh was in the second
group admitted to the Massachusetts
lawyers Hall of Fame
