About

Criminal Defense Practice Our MA law firm specializes in criminal law cases after conviction. We handle appeals, motions for a new trial, motions to revise and revoke sentences, guilty plea withdrawals, parole hearings, commutation petitions, and federal habeas petitions. Wrongful Conviction Practice We also handle civil wrongful conviction MA cases under a new statute that allows innocent people convicted of serious crimes to seek compensation for their wrongful convictions. Please note: If you are not in MA, you need to check with lawyers in your own state about your case. There are time limits, so don't delay. About Attorney Mary T. Rogers Attorney Mary T. Rogers won a United States Supreme Court case as co-counsel on June 25, 2009. The case, Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts, has widespread application to all criminal cases throughout the U.S. The Court ruled that under the Sixth Amendment all defendants have the right to confront and cross-examine forensic crime analysts. The government cannot rely on the forensic lab report in place of live testimony. Now, the government must call the live witness to the stand. What sets us apart from other law firms: We are known for our thoroughness. We spend more time with our clients than the average lawyer actually discussing with you the facts about your case and what you think went wrong at your trial. We review court documents. We discuss your case with your prior attorneys to gather additional information. We research many aspects of your case and choose the issues that have the greatest chance of success.
