Matthew W. Peterson
I am a lawyer based in Massachusetts, focusing on criminal defense, family law, and immigration issues.
If you find yourself here, it's likely that you are confronting a legal issue that seems daunting. You might feel powerless, frustrated, or overwhelmed—whether you're dealing with the government, a large corporation, or just a neighbor. The legal system can appear complex, daunting, and distant.
I pursued a career in law because I am passionate about advocating for individuals, whether it involves safeguarding their constitutional rights or settling a minor dispute with a neighbor. I approach each case with a personal commitment, dedicating myself to uncovering the most favorable outcome. I am not one to back down from a challenge.
