WRONGFUL CONVICTION CIVIL CASES
If you or someone you know who was innocent and was wrongly
convicted in MA of a crime never committed, contact us for an initial consultation to see if you meet the requirements
to file suit and seek compensation.
Innocent people wrongly convicted of certain serious
crimes have the ability to seek compensation by filing a civil suit. Many lawyers do not even know about this new
law created in MA in 2005.
Please Note: The wrongful conviction
cases our office handles are limited to only MA cases. Some other states have wrongful conviction statutes, but
you need to check with attorneys in your own state to review your case. There are time limits, so don't wait.
We were one of the first to file a lawsuit on behalf of a
man wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. He served nearly four years
in prison for a crime he did not commit. We successfully had his conviction reversed and then had him exonerated.
We followed through afterwards and successfully:
- Settled his case under this new law
- Expunged his criminal record
- Sought and obtained educational benefits: 1/2 tuition
reduction at any MA state college or university
We were right on top of the law:
- We helped write the new law
- We lobbied key legislators to help get the law passed
- We advocated for the amount of compensation to be as high as
possible and to include educational tuition reduction at MA state colleges and universities
