PRACTICE AREAS

Criminal Defense

We are experienced in a broad range of topics in criminal law. From show cause and pre-charge

situations to trials and appeals, we have achieved supremely successful outcomes, often exceeding the

most optimistic expectations of our clients. We pride ourselves on avoiding charges against clients

altogether whenever we can, and frequently employ direct contact and advocacy to police and

prosecution representatives to achieve the best results for our clients. If charges must issue we will seek

dismissal, suppression of evidence, reduction of charges, exceptional plea results, or relief at trial or

appeal. Collateral consequences of convictions will always be considered, as well as the availability of

sealing your record or expungement of charges.

Pre-Charge Investigations, Trials, Appeals

Domestic, Harassment

Massachusetts law provides for two types of restraining orders. Harassment protection orders require

three distinct instances of harassment directed at a particular person and do not require a particular

relationship between the parties. Domestic violence restraining orders require a family, residential, or

dating/intimate relationship and a fear of imminent serious physical harm. The firm is experienced in

both obtaining and defending against restraining orders. We do not recommend appearing for or

against restraining orders without experienced counsel to represent you.

Massachusetts regulates many professions, from doctors and lawyers to barbers and manicurists.

Various boards and commissions take this power very seriously and can threaten careers and

livelihoods, often for petty or unintentional transgressions. The firm will negotiate on your behalf,

appear for administrative hearings, and stand up to these bureaucrats for you. If necessary, we will

bring an action in Superior Court seeking reversal, holding them accountable for arbitrary or capricious

sanctions. We have achieved success in this arena for many professionals, including lawyers and

physicians. Retain experienced counsel and save your livelihood.

Suspensions, Investigations

Students, Professionals, Title IX, Sexual Assault, Expulsion, Suspension

Schools and Institutions of higher education increasingly seek greater control over the lives of their

community members, taking it upon themselves to investigate virtually any transgression alleged,

whether on campus or off, whether months or years old, whether grounded in evidence or not.

Attorney Bradl has had great success shielding students at Ivy League and other Massachusetts

institutions from bogus date rape charges both in criminal court and within the school. He has taken on

top heavy teams of big firm attorneys and won, has forced an Ivy League school to issue an advanced

degree and certificate in court after trial, has stopped charges from issuing against a juvenile for

showing naked cell phone pictures voluntarily sent to him, and has obtained dismissals for ill-advised

attempts to charge students for art work the school deemed threatening or otherwise offensive.

Attorney Bradl and the firm have taken on bad cops and bad faith insurance companies on behalf of

badly injured plaintiffs and their families. We work with one of the premier plaintiff firms in

Massachusetts, Heinlein, Beeler, Mingace and Heineman, (“HBMH Law”) where we have been Of

Counsel for many years. Attorney Bradl will evaluate and screen your matter, and ensure a smooth

process all the way to resolution.
