Mr. Tassel was able to communicate effectively with the DA on my behalf, even enlightening them on some of the finer points of MA gun laws. Specifically because of this my case was dismissed. I’m very grateful to Mr. Tassel for everything he was able to accomplish for me and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

After speaking with a couple attorneys to defend me in my matter, I decided to go with Attorney Neil Tassel. I spoke with him on the phone a couple times beforehand, and he made me very comfortable. He was to the point on everything and kept me in the loop on all concerns. He is an example of an honest person with the linchpin of integrity in what he does. I would recommend this man to anyone who needs the help. A blessing indeed!

Neil is an outstanding attorney who is quick on his feet. I met Neil waiting outside of Court one morning for an unexpected, last minute hearing. We casually struck up a conversation and I told him about my situation and that I hadn’t had time to hire an attorney before my hearing that morning and told him I didn’t know what to do. Neil grasped all of the facts of my case quickly and thoroughly and represented me that morning until the conclusion of my case months later with a successful result. Neil is intelligent, pragmatic and straightforward—he doesn’t hide the ball and is very transparent with his process, legal advice and strategy. Neil is not only a great attorney, but is also a kind and compassionate individual. Neil was invested in my case and always made me feel like a priority when I had questions or concerns. Neil is also very well-respected, knows all of the “in’s and out’s” of the legal system and is definitely someone you want standing next to you in Court.

Neil was highly recommended to me by the folks over at the Gun Owner's Action League (GOAL), and they were spot on! Just out of Highschool I got in trouble for something stupid and I plead to a Misdemeanor offense. In 1993 I was able to get a FID Card and my CORI report reflected the Misdemeanor conviction, but I was denied an LTC. In February of 2020, my FID renewal was denied for a Felony conviction, which was actually the Misdemeanor. I tried explaining to them that I only had a Misdemeanor, but to no avail, I was rejected as a Felon. I contacted Neil who came to my local courthouse to hand search through a massive amount of records and only finding limited information on my case, not enough to clearly show the error. Because of the lack of documentation, Neil had to write a lengthy argument as to why my conviction was bogus and should be vacated, sighting 12 case law instances in support of his argument. Well, the court totally agreed with Neil's argument and dismissed my conviction, and even vacated the charges. Thanks to Neil, I now have zero convictions on my record, and will now be applying for my LTC! Thank You Neil, you're the best!!!

Neil’s knowledge of the laws in Massachusetts was outstanding and he took the time to really talk to me about my case and have all the facts. He was also extremely professional. If anyone has any legal issues, I highly recommend him.

Neil was one of a few attorneys recommended to me by a Massachusetts firearms organization. Neil got back to me moments after I left him a message. I had initially consulted with him about a potential problem I found myself in and he was super helpful in giving me great advice and more importantly, peace of mind. A few months later I found myself in need of representation for another issue so I immediately reached out and Neil got to work. He went right to bat for me and helped me get organized and ready for my first ever hearing. He has been incredibly helpful in explaining all aspects about what has, could and will happen. He addressed every question and concern I had (And I had a lot). This was my first time needing an attorney and Neil made it a very painless process and got us to a fantastic result. I can't recommend him enough.

Neil was an incredible help as he clearly communicated his goals for my case. After reviewing my case and my originally attorneys remarks, he filed a motion to vacate and change my guilty finding to a continuance without a finding based on ineffective assistance of counsel. I would recommend Neil Tassel to my family, friends and anyone else who needs an honest and trustworthy attorney.

Attorney Neil Tassel saved my Sons future and Life. I can not express enough words or gratitude for all the long hours, dedication, and work he put in for my Son Marcus. Sometimes in life you meet special people who care and go over and beyond their call of duty. I say wholeheartedly that is Attorney Neil Tassel who with out exception worked beyond expectations, justice and truth! As I am a single mother and health care provider, I will always remember and be beyond grateful for everything Neil Tassel had done for my Son and my life. These are the people we must celebrate!
