He is also a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association; the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; and, the Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association.
Our principal has been responsible for the reorganization, and computerization of two of the civil-process offices of the sheriff of one county in Massachusetts. He has been involved in many different cases over the years from simple serving of a notice-to-quit in an eviction, to complex international criminal and civil investigations, such as one case in the U.S., Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China and, Macau (a former territory of Portugal until 1999 and, now known as a special administrative region [SAR] of China) involving a criminal and civil copyright infringement complaint brought in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, involving counsel from Boston, New York, and Hong Kong, as well as investigators in Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China and Macau. He has executed numerous federal writs such as search-warrants, seizure-orders and the like issued from the Federal courts and directed to the U.S. Marshals Office and the civil-process offices of the county sheriff in Massachusetts.
Recently, our principal was successful in a case in which the Target of an almost one-year investigation; who had been pursued throughout the various jurisdictions of the Comonwealth of Massachusetts; actively evaded arrest; used deceased-individuals’ social-security numbers, as well as other social-security numbers; was allegedly entering and exiting the U.S., and hiding in France, Italy, Switzerland and South America via two different passports requiring investigation of over 300 land, air, and sea ports throughout the United States; was finally brought before the Court. This Target had embezzled hundreds-of-thousands of dollars, and was found by a preponderance of the evidence presented in a U.S. Bankruptcy Court proceeding, to have committed fraud or defalcation, which under Title 11 of the United States Code, Section 523 (a)(4), “…excepts from discharge” debts from which relief is sought in the United States Bankruptcy Court.
This Target also failed to attend the federal bankruptcy hearing and testify before the Court at trial, resulting in, among other things, the federal bankruptcy Court “…drawing a negative inference from…” as well as the U.S. Bankruptcy Court finding that “…he [the Target] had the requisite scienter…[and that the Plaintiff was] substantially harmed by [the Target’s] conduct.”
The Target was located after dogged-investigation, in which information was developed that the Target would be at an event in a certain jurisdiction, on a certain date. The location was developed through sources and confirmed upon further investigation.
The end-result being that the Target was brought before the court which had issued the statewide arrest order.
Our principal has also conducted, directed, and participated in many local cases, ranging from locating, and arresting targets, and locating and seizing assets named in district, housing, probate and superior court process, and has been involved in child-custody and parental-kidnapping cases. One of which involved locating children kidnapped in Colorado, unwillingly brought to Massachusetts, and by virtue of the probate court’s ordered issuance of a writ of habeas corpus, located, recovered, oversaw, accompanied, and returned the children to the mother, and to the court of original-jurisdiction in Colorado. He was also involved in the investigation, location and execution of search-and-seizure-warrants involving Bearer-Bonds secretly being shipped in a cargo container to Paris, France, totalling hundreds-of-thousands of dollars, along with numerous works of fine-art. He was instrumental as well, in tracking, and eventually arresting a Target after a year-and-a-half investigation, who was ordered to return over two-hundred-thousand dollars to the probate court. Not only was the Target arrested and turned over to the court, the missing money was recovered in cash in the Target’s automobile trunk, at the time of his arrest.
Our principal has also been involved in the execution of various courts’ of different jurisdictions orders such as: the seizure of an entire eighty-thousand-plus, square-foot frozen shrimp processing facility; seizures of high-end automobiles, motorcycles, planes, boats, and rail cars; seizures of restaurants, bars and businesses; seizures and sales of real and personal property; bulk personal property attachments; keeper attachments; seizures of bank accounts, and safe deposit boxes; seizures of liquor licenses; seizures of carnivals, vending machines and many other items of personal and business property.
