Asset forfeiture is a legal process used by the local, state and federal government to punish further individuals accused of criminal activity and this means that law enforcement can forfeit or take ownership of your money or property if they believe it was used in the commission of a crime or acquired with illegal funds.
Assault and Battery is a misdemeanor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts but is also considered a "crime of violence." There need NOT be any type of injury to prove an assault and battery, but cases that do have injury are also considered to be assault and battery. The maximum sentence for assault and battery is 2 and 1/2 years in jail.

We needed an attorney to help us with a magistrates hearing in Springfield. The evidence was stacked against us and we felt as though Tom’s experience and knowledge of the system and the players was well worth the investment. Tom was candid and explained the various outcomes- and was even willing to set up a payment plan if things progressed to arraignment.
Turns out to be the best decision we could have made- Tom showed up to District Court determined to have things dismissed, and we walked out free and clear within an hour and a half. Tom’s relationship with the DEA agent turned out to be

Top notch lawyer here folks, and worth every penny!! I highly recommend him if you care about RESULTS!! He didn't really try to sell himself very well, or try to impress us initially, but in the courtroom when it really mattered, he shined!! Tom negotiated with the prosecuting attorney and managed to get the assault and battery charge dropped, so my son got 6 months of probation, and no criminal record!! What a huge relief!! Thank you Tom, we really do appreciate what you did for us.

I called Tom on a Saturday morning (he actually answered and talked to me for 30 minutes before I even hired him). I was frantically looking for a criminal defense attorney to guide me in the right direction. I had no experience with the court system and desperately needed guidance to protect my professional license. I hit the jackpot when I found him.
Tom is professional, confident, down to earth, trustworthy and very easy to talk to. I always felt he had my best interests in mind. He explained the processes in detail, answered all questions, and allowed me to make informed decisions. In the

Jesse Adams provided sound legal advice as well as piece of mind. From the moment I first contacted Mr. Adams, I felt more secure in my circumstances. He took the time to explain - in detail - the charges, the process, and all possible outcomes. Jesse was professional, prompt, and was clearly respected in the courtroom. I would highly recommend seeking Jesse Adams’ counsel.

Tom is highly skilled at practicing the ins-and-outs of law. This is true to my experience of having Tom defend me in court as my lawyer. His skill ability is evident in his confident demeanor in and out of the court room. This guy knows what he is doing, period. This made me feel confident knowing he was representing me. Tom is also incredibly skilled and sincere when working with people. One of the best qualities I would have to say Tom has as a lawyer, is his ability to be thorough, rational, and supportive with his communication.

Me and my family appreciate your honest, hard work. You take command of the courtroom and execute your knowledge in a well prepared, precise manner. I would recommend Tom as the best lawyer in his field.

Kudos to Tom Kokonowski !
Having been in Law Enforcement for twenty-eight years I have had ample opportunity to watch countless Lawyers practice their profession in a court of law from Boston to the Berkshires. I have seen a wide range of competency and professionalism. Even more rare in my opinion has been integrity. I have always believed integrity is a trait that every person has within. It cannot be taken from us but has to be given away. Tom is highly competent and professional. Even more important in my opinion is that Tom has maintained his integrity throughout his career. Kudos to you

Attorney Tom Kokonowski is not only one of the best people I've had the honor of meeting, but he is also the absolute best legal counsel. I implore anyone who needs legal advice or services to seek his extensive knowledge and experience. Every time I've needed him, he's been there with expertise that is unmatched by most attorneys in the Western Massachusetts region. There is no doubt in my mind he will continue to not only represent me when needed, but to anyone, new client or former, without the same dedication and poise he displayed for me. I recommend him highly and without reservation. Thank
