There’s a few here that are regular contributors.

Neil Tassel comes to mind. @nstassel

If he can’t help directly, I’m sure he can refer you to someone.

Would you care to divulge all the details of your legal matter to the vultures of NES that will verbally tear you limb from limb and make you wish you’d never posted here?

I totally agree, but person we have now seems to "know everyone" would someone who isn't local lose that? Although Im not sure that matters at this point.
 
be careful what you say to your defence attorney if you're bring in someone to second guess him, they can be touchy about that sort of thing.
Still I think you're are right to have someone who really knows gun laws to look things over. Wish I had.
 
As long as you tell any potential new attorney you are contemplating discharging your current attorney and are prepared to pay your first lawyer all his/her owed monies you should be good. 2A is a very specialized field of law and you need to have the best counsel and one you have complete confidence in. The only way having a lawyer that you do not feel is competent working on your behalf is that you can appeal on the grounds of ineffective counsel and I would not suggest to you for a moment that that is a good defense strategy
 
So what is he implying by saying quote he knows everybody unquote that he's going to be able to fix the case? I would rather have effective counsel than someone who's telling me that I can bury this for you.

huh? ^^^ This is only Post #5. and you also had #1. 40% of this thread is you...
 
Okay I know I'm posting multiple times on the same subject but your attorney is not going to get an assistant district attorney to drop the case because they are buddies. The bad thing that happens in those situations is that they agree to a continued without a finding and a continued without a finding will hang around your neck like an albatross. Judges aren't going to do an attorney a favor by cutting somebody loose that doesn't happen anymore at least with the general public you have to be very well connected yourself to get that sort of influence. I got jammed up once on a b******* charge and I had quite a bit of influence myself unfortunately the cop that wanted to hang my ass had an equal amount of pull. It took nine continuances before we get up before we judge that we could influence and the cop couldn't and I will tell you right now it was a b******* charge that I was not guilty of

Yeah, don’t do this OP. as much as we all love a good water cooler story, this forum is searchable. Btw, @enbloc Im pretty sure this is what OP was responding to in post #5.

I can think of at least four situations where specialist gun counsel
can be important in Mass:
  1. It's a hybrid case, but gun charges are a linchpin to the whole ball of wax.
  2. It's primarily gun charges.
  3. It's not a "gun case" per se, but the charges are so serious that you may become "unsuitable" for restoration of your license, and/or a plea deal can extinguish your gun rights nationwide, for life.
  4. Your guns and ammo are on the verge of being stored with a bonded warehouse whose redemption charges will instantly exceed the value of the collection.
I'm very sorry for your troubles.
I'm just saying that Mass gun lawyers may bring expertise
that even some top-notch criminal attorneys may lack.
ETA: So you're right to consider second opinions and specialist counsel.

P. S. Don't try and clarify anything further on NES.

I had some basic firearms legal work done around 2008 (not criminal) and I was pretty happy. I forget the name. Office was around RT1. I do not think it was Neil but Neil seems to be the current go to guy

You can give me a call. I'd be happy to chat.

But this mentality is interesting. Some people see this (having a local popular lawyer) as a good thing. As social animals normal people assume that the system will treat an insider better than an outsider. On the other hand the hard-core criminal or anti-social personality will seek a lawyer who's an outsider that won't be afraid to ruffle feathers or really fight and they see it as a negative quality to be friendly with judges or prosecutors whom they see as the enemy. I've had clients in other states that sought out counsel from far away on this theory. Both are potentially correct. I've heard appointed lawyers literally bargain with clients- I'll plead this one to x if you give me y for this one. This is ok if you're the one getting the sweeter deal but crap if you're the guy getting stuck.

If you're around long enough you realize wherever you go that the players are all one of the same few archetypal characters. Honing in on which type of clerk, judge, prosecutor or cop you're dealing with is the key to success. This leads me to believe that there is little or no advantage in a really serious case to knowing everyone. In a run of the mill case it's possibly advantageous to a degree.
