Trigger-Happy ABC Officers Terrorize College Student for Buying Water

June 30, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

MA criminal defense attorney Kevin J. Mahoney on the overreaction of several ABC officers. As University of Virginia student, Elizabeth Daly, left a shopping center carrying a box of sparkling water, cookie dough, and ice cream to her SUV, seven agents of Alcohol Beverage Control sprung into action. Mistaking a blue carton of LaCroix sparkling water for a 12-pack of beer, they surrounded the vehicle, with one agent leaping onto the hood of the SUV, while another drew his firearm.In an account … [Read more...]

April 12, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Boston Criminal Defense Attorney Kevin J. Mahoney Discusses Reinstatement of Officers Who Failed Drug TestingMost businesses require employees to report to work drug-free and to remain drug free while performing their duties. When the employee is a law enforcement officer, not only the municipality, but also citizens have a right to expect the same and uphold the standards of the position entrusted to him.The Boston Herald reported recently that the Massachusetts’ Civil Service Commission … [Read more...]

Heavily Armed Ranger Smith Swarms Orchid Seller’s Home

March 30, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Boston criminal lawyer Kevin J. Mahoney on the Prosecution of Retiree Selling Orchids Who knew that importing and selling orchids could be a federal offense? Certainly Texas retiree George Norris didn’t. Not content to spend his new-found free time watching reruns on television or sitting in a bar, Mr. Norris decided to put his free time into a business. One would think he was masterminding a plot against the government: his orchid business led to a two-year prison sentence. The orchid … [Read more...]

Mahoney on the Militarization of Law EnforcementImagine sitting on the sofa watching an enjoyable television show, your seven-year-old granddaughter sound asleep beside you. Suddenly, a grenade is hurled through the front window, sending shards of glass everywhere. It explodes so close to the girl it burns her blanket. Officers dressed in full combat gear kick open the front, one firing a round from his assault weapon, striking the girl in the neck, killing … [Read more...]

TSA Taking Us Hostage

March 27, 2013 by Kevin Mahoney

Boston Criminal Attorney Kevin J. Mahoney on TSA, Pocket-knives, and Government OverreachingMight a wheelchair-bound 3-year-old with spinal bifida be a terrorist? One would think so, given the insistence of TSA agents in February, 2013 that the child be patted down before boarding the plane. While the Transportation Security Administration has apologized to the family for the incident—after it received national attention—what happened to little Lucy on her way to Disney World is just one more … [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. : ) .
