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.

The Attorney Boston Turns To When They're in for a Fight and Want to Win
Matthew is the lawyer Boston and the North Shore turn to when they're in for a fight and they want to win. Not when they are looking to get the cheapest lawyer or just want to cut a deal. If you feel overwhelmed with a legal battle against you, call us today, and let's get to work.
It’s Not Over! The Fight Starts Now! #lawyer #indictment #shorts
We walk you through what an indictment means in Massachusetts. Most people think it’s a conviction. It’s not. The grand jury simply says, “Let’s look at this more seriously.” Your case is moving from district to superior court, where the process starts over, with higher stakes and stronger rights.
WRONGLY ACCUSED! #shorts #lawyer #boston
I am a lawyer in Massachusetts who represents people charged with crimes, in family law matters, and in immigration. If you’re looking at this, you probably have a legal problem that seems insurmountable. You may feel helpless and frustrated in the face of going to battle outmatched by the government, some faceless corporation, or even your neighbor. The legal system may seem complicated, intimidating, and unfeeling. I’m here to help.
