Massachusetts Criminal Charges Demand Aggressive Defense

Facing charges in Quincy, the South Shore, or Boston can upend your life overnight. At Fiorentino Legal, P.C., criminal defense lawyer Christopher Fiorentino leverages his former-prosecutor insight to strike first—challenging evidence, pressing for dismissal, and negotiating outcomes that protect your future.

Conducting Our Own Detective Work

A strong defense starts with facts—not assumptions. Our team re-creates timelines, re-interviews witnesses, and pores over police reports to expose weak links in the state’s case. When the prosecution’s investigation is rushed or incomplete, we bring those flaws to light and use them to your advantage in Quincy District Court and courts across Boston and the South Shore.

01

Firearm Crimes

Massachusetts gun laws are among the strictest in the country. We defend clients accused of unlawful possession, improper transport, and other firearms-related offenses.

02

DUI / OUI

Even a first drunk driving arrest can carry lasting consequences. We fight to protect your license, challenge field sobriety results, and pursue the best outcome available.

03

Possession of Child Pornography

These are among the most sensitive and high-stakes charges in the system. We handle these cases with discretion, privacy, and a meticulous defense strategy.

04

Violation of Restraining Order

One phone call can result in criminal charges—even if the order was misunderstood or contact was unintentional. We defend your side with care and clarity.

05

Domestic Violence

Domestic allegations can disrupt your home, job, and reputation. We provide calm, nonjudgmental legal defense for clients caught in emotionally charged situations.

Why Clients Choose a Former Prosecutor

Christopher Fiorentino spent years inside the prosecutor’s office learning how charges are built and negotiated. That experience now fuels your defense. Knowing the state’s playbook means we can predict plea offers, craft sharper suppression motions, and, when necessary, fight aggressively at trial—skills that translate directly into reduced penalties or outright acquittals throughout Quincy and Boston.
