With her roots on a dairy farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania, Attorney Johanna Griffiths moved to Boston nearly 14 years ago to follow the only dream she ever had; to become a lawyer. In furtherance of that dream, Attorney Griffiths attended Northeastern University, graduating with honors, before moving on to law school at New England Law | Boston where she concentrated her studies on criminal law and procedure.
If you or a loved one has been accused of a crime in Massachusetts, it may seem as though the world is falling apart. You have questions that need answers - if only for your own peace of mind and to regain some control - and information about not only what to do right now, but a plan moving forward.
If you are facing criminal charges, whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony, you know that the stakes are high. The criminal defense strategy will differ with each case, but if the case proceeds beyond an early plea bargain or dismissal, the approach to each case is identical.
The penalties for conviction carry serious and often life-long consequences that can -depending on the severity of the offense- impact your wallet, your personal and professional reputation, your education, your future employment, your driving privileges and fundamental rights including your freedom.
The penalties for conviction carry serious and often life-long consequences that can -depending on the severity of the offense- impact your wallet, your personal and professional reputation, your education, your future employment, your driving privileges and fundamental rights including your freedom.
It is understandable that you may not know what to do. If you can fight the charges, then you will, but you don't want to spend the time or money if there is no reasonable chance of beating the charges. The last thing anyone wants is to fight the charges for the sake of fighting, and then find yourself a year down the road in exactly the same position.
Any criminal charge, felony or misdemeanor, is a frightening, embarrassing, unexpected and foreign experience. We get it and, with extensive experience handling Massachusetts criminal charges all over the state, we can help you understand exactly where you stand and offer you some advice as to the best path forward.

Mr. Stacey is the best. 2 years ago I needed a lawyer to take care of a legal issue. I was terrified and unsure of what was going to happen. I contacted Mr. Stacey and thank god I did. Not only did he make sure sure I understood everything he also made sure that my parents (greek speaking) understood as well. He was very understanding and patient through this difficult time. He went above and beyond to make sure I was alright and understood everything. He also helped settle a house deed issue with my parents home. He was quick in communicating everything that was needed and it was done in a timely

Attorney Berman is a consummate professional. He is very respectful and also highly approachable and accessible. He listened to my concerns with empathy and with a genuine desire to clear me of charges related to a misunderstanding gone horribly awry. He achieved the practically unachievable: convincing the judge that I deserved a Continuance Without a Finding for a charge for which judges typically do not issue CWOFs. He was able to do this drawing from his extensive criminal defense experience and by working closely with me to ensure that my case was the strongest that it could possibly be. His

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew Stacey at Equitas Law Firm. He came highly recommended and I can see why after personally hiring him to represent me in court for a major traffic violation. He came in very prepared and was able to transition when the Prosecutor threw him a curveball.... Mr. Stacey adjusted and transitioned immediately to counter the prosecutions curveball and hit it out of the park.I was impressed with not only his calm demeanor when presented with a problem,but very impressed with experience on how he came up with a solution to the problem. I would highly suggest hiring
