Protecting Your Rights When Everything Is at Stake

Criminal charges create immediate crisis. Suddenly, your freedom, your reputation, your career, and your family’s security are all at risk. In these moments, the quality of your legal representation can make the difference between devastating consequences and preserving your future.

At Conn Kavanaugh, we understand the unique pressures that criminal defendants face in Boston’s legal system. Federal and state prosecutors here are sophisticated, well-resourced, and aggressive. The courts are busy and often unsympathetic. You need defense counsel that matches the prosecution’s capabilities and exceeds their commitment to the case.

Our approach to criminal defense:

  • Early Intervention: The best defense strategies begin before charges are filed. We work to influence investigations and prevent prosecutions whenever possible.
  • Comprehensive Investigation: We conduct our own investigation, interview witnesses, examine evidence, and challenge the prosecution’s case at every level.
  • Constitutional Protection: We zealously defend your constitutional rights, from Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues to Fifth Amendment privilege protections.
  • Strategic Negotiation: When resolution through negotiation serves your interests, we leverage our relationships and experience to achieve favorable outcomes.
  • Trial Excellence: When trial becomes necessary, we provide aggressive courtroom advocacy focused on creating reasonable doubt and protecting your rights.
  • Crisis Management: We help you navigate the non-legal consequences of criminal charges, from employment issues to professional licensing concerns.

Criminal charges are serious business that require serious representation. When prosecutors target you, they’re not just seeking a conviction, they’re often seeking to make an example. As a criminal defense law firm trusted by Boston clients, we make sure that doesn’t happen.
