A Formidable Defense Against All Criminal Charges
At Scully & Lagos, we are trial lawyers.

Our experience as former prosecutors gives us a distinct advantage in anticipating the opposition’s moves and exploiting weaknesses in their case. We handle the full spectrum of criminal law. ⚖️
- Federal and White-Collar Crime Defense: We provide sophisticated defense for clients facing investigation or charges for complex federal offenses, including wire fraud, tax evasion, and other white-collar crimes.
- DUI/DWI Defense Lawyers: An OUI conviction in Massachusetts carries severe penalties. We are experts at challenging every aspect of a drunk driving charge, from the legality of the stop to the reliability of breath and field sobriety tests.

- Violent Crime Defense Lawyers: If you are charged with a violent crime like assault, battery, or robbery, you need a powerful advocate. We meticulously investigate the facts to build a compelling defense and protect your freedom.
- Sex Crime Defense: Accusations of sex crimes carry a heavy stigma and severe penalties. We provide a discreet, aggressive, and comprehensive defense to protect your reputation and your future.
