What Is a Cyber-Crime in Boston?

June 10, 2014 by Kevin Mahoney

cyber-crime in boston

According to some experts, “cyber-crime” is the fastest growing category of criminal offenses in the United States – possibly in the entire world. What, however, qualifies as a cyber-crime? Put simply, cyber-crime is a crime committed using the internet and/or a computer. If you have been accused of a cyber-crime in Boston there is a good chance you are facing federal criminal offense charges instead of, or in addition to, charges filed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. By some estimates, … [Read more...]

A Cyber War on Terrorists or Teenagers?

June 6, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Massachusetts Criminal Lawyer Kevin J. Mahoney: The War on Cyberterror and Prosecutorial OverreachWhile the current administration has announced—prematurely by most estimates—that the War on Terror has been won, it is focusing efforts on an aggressive campaign against so-called cyberterrorism. Few would dispute that cybercrimes take the form of terrorist acts in some cases, but the new war on cyberterror is achieving the dubious success of putting often minor hackers into federal penitentiaries. … [Read more...]

U.S. Attorney Drives Swartz to Suicide

April 6, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Boston Criminal Defense Attorneys at the Mahoney Criminal Defense Group Discuss Aaron Swartz and Prosecutorial OverreachDefendants facing charges these days—even non-violent ones—often become victims of a prosecutorial practice that has grown into a many-headed hydra. The idea is to pile as many charges as possible onto the defendant, make him believe he is facing extensive prison time, and then little by little offer to remove charges in return for a plea agreement. The purpose may be to … [Read more...]

The Aaron Swartz Case: Prosecution or Persecution?

January 17, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Sometimes events in the news demand the attention of every Boston criminal lawyer. The case of Aaron Swartz is one such event.BackgroundIn July 2011, Aaron Swartz – computer prodigy; co-creator of RSS technology and Reddit; and internet freedom activist – was indicted on charges related to hacking into JSTOR, a subscription-based collection of scientific and literary journals on the MIT network. Most of the journals would interest only a small fraction of the population. Mr. Swartz was accused … [Read more...]

    Attorney Mahoney,

    I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful and excellent job you did for me. You were quite impressive up there and you really did your homework catching her in a few lies from previous testimony. You are the best! Even though I never want to be in this situation again, if I know anyone I will give them your name.

    Thank Amy for me too! She is a great asset to have in your office! Very pleasant and understanding.

    Again thank you and go Celtics!

    Kevin Mahoney recently represented me in a case for destruction of property and disorderly conduct. He was extremely thorough and persistent, and despite a great deal of evidence against me, he managed to get the felony charge dropped without having to go to trial.

    I had never been in legal trouble before and had no idea how to proceed, and without his counsel, I am sure that I would have gotten convicted.

    He listened to my specific needs and always acted in my best interest. His knowledge, attention to detail, and general courtroom presence continued to amaze me throughout the entire process.

    I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your efforts on my behalf. Your defense was truly outstanding. The court room skills that you demonstrated and legal knowledge were truly incomparable. I’m wishing you the very best in your future endeavors.

    In addition, I ‘m looking forward to viewing the Jello Trial on Court T.V. Let me thank you once again.

    Attorney Mahoney,

    Is very knowledgeable and very professional. He has just represented me in a case lasting a year and a half, and he made sure I got a fair trial with a fair jury. He kept me well informed about what would be happening in the court room and always had a well thought out defense for any route of attack the D.A. would be planning on.

    My trial took 2 and a half days and after the jury deliberated for approximately 23 minutes they came back with a “Not guilty” verdict. I would recommend Attorney Mahoney to anyone I know, but I sure hope I dont need him again. : ) .
