Tony is a smart, effective lawyer who brings a balanced, people-first approach to his law practice. He has impressive credentials, graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Trinity College and from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He began his career in Boston at the law firm of Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault, LLP, where he practiced complex corporate litigation. He returned to Western Massachusetts in 2000 seeking a more balanced life and a practice more aligned with his desire to help ‘the little guy’ rather than working for corporations that already have all the power and influence they need. Over the last ten-plus years he has focused on representing indigent criminal defendants at Palmer District Court, where he has handled well over a thousand cases, earning the respect of clients, colleagues, judges and court personnel. In 2010 he met Attorney Low and knew right away that he had found a kindred spirit, another lawyer who thrives on helping people, especially in instances where the forces aligned against them appear to be formidable.

If you need smart, effective legal representation from a lawyer who consistently listens to his clients, explains what he can do for them and then does it, then give Tony a call. He is happy to assist people either directly or by steering them to one of the many effective and well-respected attorneys he knows in the area. Do not be surprised, however, if you find yourself in a conversation about the larger picture of your life, or talking about any of his myriad interests, including yoga, karate, travel, his dog, the book he’s reading, what he is learning about his new MacBook Pro or other latest piece of technology, or almost any subject speaking to human curiosity. You can also get a sense of his interest in people, law, politics and much more, at his blog, The Lawyers Den, which you can link to from the home page or find at http://thelawyersden.wordpress.com/.
