Boston Criminal Lawyers

GSCFB’S Practice Areas

We represent clients in complex homicide, sexual assault, robbery and other serious felony cases in both the state and federal courts on the trial and appellate levels. These cases require thorough investigation and fact development. Wehave represented the officers and employees of corporations in complex white-collar criminal cases andhave successfully litigated cases of mail and wire fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, export control violations, scientific grant fraud, violations of FDA laws, and other regulatory offenses. Our experience in these cases is both broad and deep. They demand not only legal knowledge but also the ability to craft compelling narratives that highlight the strengths of our clients’ cases while exposing the weaknesses in the government’s case.

Our commitment to the best outcomes for our clients extends beyond trial proceedings. We have a vibrant appellate practice, achieving excellent results for our clients when they believe hope is lost. In high-stakes federal criminal appeals, we often succeed in overturning excessively harsh and improper sentences, giving years of freedom back to our clients. Our success in overturning convictions in murder cases demonstrates our tenacity and dedication to our clients’ rights. We dig deep into trial records to uncover procedural errors or government misconduct, or to unearth new evidence that was either overlooked or hidden away on purpose by prosecutors or police officers.

We have defended clients whose First Amendment rights were under threat, advocating and litigating to protect their rights to free speech and rights to association in various contexts, including defending the rights of students, professors, and academics to speak their minds.

In the realm of academic and scientific misconduct we have defended professors, physicians, and researchers accused of falsifying or fabricating data. This practice requires not only legal expertise but also an understanding of the intricacies of how research institutions work. We work closely with experts to challenge accusations, ensuring that their clients’ careers and reputations are protected. Our success in this significant and growing area reflects our attorneys’ ability to think outside traditional legal frameworks and adopt strategies that meet the unique demands of cases involving complex scientific and academic issues.

Another core area of our practice is representing students and professors accused of academic and personal misconduct, including Title IX cases, plagiarism cases, and cheating accusations against students. For decades, the firm has defended clients at prestigious institutions like Boston University, Brown University, Boston College, Harvard University, Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, Dartmouth College, and other colleges and universities across the country, protecting our clients’ academic careers and reputations. We treat every client with the same high level of dedication, care and commitment because we recognize that each case has the potential to change the course of a client’s life.

Whether defending the rights of individuals against government overreach or protecting the freedoms of corporate entities, we are unwavering in our determination to achieve the very best result possible for our clients,

from preventing charges from being filed in the first place, to obtaining dismissals and acquittals in criminal trials, to successful appeals in high-stakes cases. Our results include jury acquittals for clients accused of armed robbery, firearms offenses, and rape, and reversing convictions on appeal for offenses such as murder, sexual assault, and extortion.

In our white-collar defense practice, we represent clients in grand jury investigations, trials, and appeals and have achieved numerous favorable outcomes, including preventing indictments from issuing and the dismissal of charges in cases involving tax evasion, securities fraud, and conspiracy.
