    Everyone accused of a crime, whether guilty or innocent, needs an experienced criminal attorney who will provide sound legal advice, protect their rights, and defend them vigorously and effectively. You can’t take a chance on an inept or inexperienced attorney. Toland Law has an impressive record of success and a standing above reproach in the legal community.

    Under Arrest? Take These Steps

    If law enforcement officers arrest you, do not physically resist. Comply and cooperate, but do not let the officers violate your rights. Instead, politely insist on exercising your right to remain silent and your right to have your attorney present for any interrogation.

    These rights apply throughout the legal process. Do not sign any statement or document, and don’t accept any plea deal before consulting a Boston attorney at Toland Law. We will investigate the case, examine the evidence, question witnesses, and prepare an effective defense on your behalf.

    If the prosecutor will not drop the charge, Toland Law may request that the court dismiss your case. However, if necessary, we will take your case to trial, present a strong defense, and ask the jury to acquit you. A jury trial is your right, but if the prosecution’s evidence is convincing, your attorney may recommend avoiding trial and accepting a plea deal.

    Client Success Stories
    by C.G.
    Trying to become us citizen was something I’ve wanted to do for 25 years. When I finally felt like I was ready, I called another lawyer, and right away I knew that she was doing it for the money and not for the passion of helping someone like me; As soon as we faced a roadblock, she stopped representing me.
    by A.V.
    A friend mentioned Lawyer Toland regarding an immigration case with which I needed help. Paul (the lawyer who helped me) did an amazing job, gathered all the documentation I needed for this process and completed the necessary applications.
    by P.L.
    Me remitieron al abogado Toland para un amigo cercano de nuestra familia que, lamentablemente, fue acusado de una OUI. El abogado Toland hizo un gran trabajo y llevó un caso realmente difícil a juicio y ganó. Estábamos muy satisfechos con sus servicios y cualquiera sería afortunado de tenerlo como abogado.

    At Risk for Deportation? Take These Steps

    Deportations can devastate families. At a deportation hearing, an immigration judge decides whether an individual may remain in the United States. If that person is you, a Boston immigration attorney with extensive experience in deportation defense must represent you.

    A deportation may begin with an arrest. When the police arrest a non-citizen and the state charges that person with a serious crime, immigration authorities may initiate a removal proceeding. In other cases, you may receive a Notice to Appear before an immigration judge (Form I-862). Receiving a Notice to Appear doesn’t automatically mean deportation.

    But in either of these scenarios, you will be at risk of deportation, so it is essential to have the services of our immigration lawyers in Boston as soon as possible. The Toland Law team will use every legal tool necessary to help you remain in the U.S., keep your family united here, and reach your other goals.
