(RICO), Extortion, Narcotics and Other Offenses
Areas of Practice

                have successfully represented a broad range of individuals and corporations in a wide-range of Federal prosecutions, including but not limited to Racketeering (RICO), Extortion, and Narcotics offenses, including some of the most significant trials in Massachusetts. If you or a family member is the subject of a racketeering, extortion, narcotics or other Federal investigation, we invite you to contact us to learn more about the depth of our experience, skills and knowledge in this area.

Defenses to these prosecutions are often factually and legally complex, and it is therefore imperative that you obtain legal representation as early as possible, such that your attorney can immediately begin his investigation. The goal of any such investigation is often twofold: acquire information essential to persuading the government that you have not committed any federal offense and, if necessary, begin to prepare a defense to a federal prosecution in the event the government ultimately decides to seek an indictment. We have the resources, experience and skills to effectively defend these investigations or prosecutions, and invite you to contact us to learn more.

Testimonials

Rob guided me through the most difficult time in my life ... His preparation for the case and his execution in trial were truly the difference ... I truly trusted him with my life and he came through. Not a great promoter or guy who likes to hype, but he delivers where it counts. I am truly grateful that I selected his name over the vast number of attorneys in the Boston area. I rarely provide recommendations, but in Rob's case, I recommend that anyone facing serious criminal charges, where their freedom and livelihood is at stake, that they contact Rob.

Goldstein pounced!

~ Boston Magazine, November 2003 (Describing cross-examination of federal agent)

I have spent a career watching and interacting with attorneys - as the elected district attorney, as a line prosecutor and defense attorney - you are one of a handful of the best lawyers I have ever seen in the courtroom.
