Defending Your Rights In Massachusetts
When a person is charged with a crime or has been personally injured, they are often most concerned about their immediate future. However, that is only half the story. The other half is the long-term effect a conviction or injury has on your life.
At Cataldo Law Offices, L.L.C., our experienced lawyers are here to look out for your best interests in the short and long term. What sets us apart from many other firms is that we take the job of informing and preparing you for what’s ahead as seriously as we do the task of preparing your case and aggressively representing you. From our office in Franklin, or our Wellesley location, we represent clients throughout the Boston metro area and of Massachusetts.

Homicides and violent crimes require aggressive and skilled advocacy. We have the passion, skill and knowledge to defend and help exonerate you.
OUI Defense
