Violent Crimes

Boston Violent Crimes Attorney

Being charged with a violent crime in Massachusetts is a serious matter that threatens your freedom. Police and prosecutors do not conduct the full investigations that you see on television. This can lead to false accusations. You need an intelligent and tireless criminal defense lawyer in your corner.

As a Massachusetts attorney, I have successfully defended numerous clients charged with violent crimes. I will aggressively fight the prosecution and unearth the flaws in the investigation. Whether the defense requires investigation on the street, or forensic analysis in the lab, I have the expertise to handle it. Contact my criminal defense law firm for an initial consultation.

Relentlessly Defending Your Legal Rights in the Boston Area

My ex-girlfriend accused me of rape. No one could have worked harder at proving my innocence. When Keith was through asking her his questions, even the prosecutor knew that she was lying and dropped the charges. I walked out of that courtroom because of Keith. I thank God he was my lawyer.

I have more than 20 years of experience beating cases at trial, and successfully having charges dismissed or reduced for my clients in Massachusetts.

I will use my skills ot defend you against many violent crimes, including:

  • Assault
  • Aggravated assault
  • Battery
  • Weapons violations
  • Sexual assault
  • Robbery
  • Domestic abuse
  • Murder/homicide
  • Attempted murder

I have unique experience arguing for the defense of insanity. In a 2009 murder trial, I won a Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity jury verdict. I believe that this may be the only male defendant acquitted by a jury on an insanity defense in Massachusetts over the past 25 years or so. No matter what defense is available to you, I will find it and vigorously fight to protect your interests.

Investigating Your Case to Build a Solid Criminal Defense

The police will often fail to interview all witnesses or even to conduct thorough interviews of the witnesses they do speak with. I work with experts in the criminal field to determine what really happened in your case and to build a proper defense against your charges.

If the police are cutting corners in their investigation, I will be sure to expose their weaknesses.

Testimonials

  • I was a client of Mr. Halpern, and I was fighting a First Degree Murder charge, along with two attempted murders and a firearm charge. There were times when I thought Mr. Halpern was against me, and trying to sell me out. But in reality, that was never the case. I realized that after a few arguments, and his telling me that he wasn’t going to give up on me. I realized that I was lucky to have someone who wanted nothing but the best for me. I was guilty of everything I was charged with. Still, Mr. Halpern fought for me like I wasn’t. No matter what I wanted to do, he was riding with me. Trial or getting a deal, he just wanted me to know what was at stake. At the end of the day, I took a deal. To be honest, it was the best deal ever for what I was facing. I would recommend Mr. Halpern any day to someone in a situation like mine. In my opinion, if you are looking for a lawyer and you are on their website, it’s important to look at how many wins they have. In my eyes, if somebody took a deal that can still be a win. It was for me. You should also check out what some of his previous clients have to say about him. I’m writing about him, so that should tell you something. I’m just blessed I was one of his clients. Mr. Halpern would never understand how grateful I am that I was represented by him. So if you’re looking for a lawyer who is going to put in overtime to make sure you come out on top, I would recommend Keith Halpern!

  • First, I would like to say that Attorney Keith Halpern saved my life, legally. The District Attorney wanted to give me a life sentence. Due to Mr. Halpern’s persistence, I was found Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Illness by a jury. Keith always kept me up to date with the way he was going to strategize my defense. He hired experts who aided in my case and were excellent witnesses. Throughout my trial, he would always ask the questions that needed to be asked. I never felt that he left anything out. He was extremely thorough. I would highly recommend using the law office of Attorney Halpern. He is very effective at achieving the best result from what could be the worst situation of your life. I owe him my life and I am extremely grateful. Thank you for reading my story and I wish you the best.
