Boston Divorce Attorneys and Criminal Defense Lawyers

Proven, Respected Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorneys

When faced with serious, potentially life-changing matters across the spectrum of divorce and criminal law, it is essential to work with a Boston attorney who will take the time to understand your challenges and grasp your most important goals. In-depth knowledge of relevant laws and the court system are essential, and so is aggressive representation by a firm that gives your individual case all the attention it deserves, while offering experience, creativity and superb judgment to resolve your problems.

Caring, Focused Counsel and Results-Driven Legal Representation

At the accomplished law firm, Cunha & Holcomb, P.C., located in the heart of downtown Boston, you can depend on respectful treatment, genuine concern about your well-being and an honest, thorough assessment of your legal options concerning divorce or criminal law. Ours is not a volume-focused law firm, but rather a firm of choice for people who know they have much at stake and want skilled, creative and resourceful legal help that meets the highest professional standards.

We have a reputation for excellence. Both partners in our firm, attorneys John H. Cunha Jr. and Helen Holcomb, have AV Preeminent ratings for professional ability and ethical standards, the highest rating awarded by Martindale-Hubbell. Mr. Cunha has been recognized for years as a Massachusetts Super Lawyer, and our associates and staff bring unique talents and valuable experience to each case.

Divorce and Modifications — Decades of Experience in State and Federal Criminal Cases

We primarily handle divorce, other serious family law matters, and misdemeanor and felony criminal defense, including providing skilled advocacy for people charged with federal crimes. Our track record also includes successful resolution of serious personal injury cases, including a $27.5 million verdict in a wrongful death case, and other civil litigation matters.

We consciously keep our practice contained and manageable, so that we can give each client personal attention and a total effort. We help men and women at pivotal junctures in their lives by diligently evaluating all circumstances, striving to find the best path to resolution and staying in touch through every phase of the process.

Clear, Active Communication in English and Spanish

If you are in need of a dedicated Boston family law or criminal defense attorney, we encourage you to contact our firm and request a personal, informative consultation with the lawyer best suited to help you.
