After being dissatisfied by the final plea deal procured by a public defender in a DWI case, which was essentially a cop out to the initial misdemeanor charge, I decided it was worth trying to start over with a private attorney. During my free consultation with Serino, MacKay, & Berube, I offered to leave my paperwork with the firm to look over while I made my decision. Kevin declined the papers, citing privacy considerations. None of the other five plus local attorneys I interviewed did this, and I interpreted it as a sign of discretion and professionalism, so I hired them. The first victory in the case came when Rich was able to arrange for my license to be temporarily reinstated during a DMV hearing. The final resolution to the criminal side of the case came within six months of my hiring them, and took the form of a gulity plea to a lesser violation (DWAI), as opposed to a misdemeanor, which is what I was hoping for from the outset. Hire this firm if you want likeable, well-connected attorneys who are recptive to client input advocating on your behalf.

Rich provided excellent counsel to my son, who is a drug and alcohol addict, after being arrested for his first offense. He was nonjudgmental and caring throughout. He kept us informed as necessary and was able to resolve his case down from a felony to a misdemeanor. My son and I both are very grateful for is help.

A close friend referred me to Mr. Berurbe and picking him as my lawyer was the best decision I could've made for myself after the unfortunate turn of events. He was knowledgeable and fought for me, getting my case resolved in just ONE MONTH! I knew nothing about DUI/DWI or any other criminal charges for that matter and he explained everything to me in terms I could understand and directed me on what to do and how to do it. I have since referred him to a lifelong friend and would recommend him to anyone in a DUI/DWI situation.

Our son went throught a bit of a bad spell. We were at our wits end with our son facing real jail time. Our luck changed when a friend referred us to Rich Berube. Rich's wealth of knowledge and experience with the criminal justice system was incredible. This calmed my husband and I immediately. Rich said he had a plan and went to work. We were very happy with the results and our son got a second chance and his future. Thank you Rich!!!!

Mr. Berube was very knowledgeable with my cases. First was a DUI case, and 5 years later he helped me obtain my pistol permit. He explained to me in detail the legal process and what to expect, also what was expected of me. Very professional and courteous.

I haven't needed lawyers much at all throughout my life. However, when I did Rich was helpful and supportive. I knew he was a popular lawyer in the area, but when he was recommended from close friends I felt relieved. Rich knows the laws, and was able to handle my case with professionalism and the right amount of sensitivity that kept me confident. Rich answered all my questions on a consistent basis, kept me informed, and was always available even upon short notice, which is exactly why I would refer him.
