Benjamin P. Urbelis, Esq.

I am a dedicated Boston, Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney, handling all criminal matters throughout the district and superior courts of Massachusetts.  My prior experience and success as a state prosecutor, where I handled a variety of cases, allows me to fully understand how the Massachusetts criminal justice system operates. I now fight for the rights of my clients who are accused of the crimes I once prosecuted.

I am available to speak with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call me for a free legal consultation about any criminal matter. I will take the time to listen to your situation and provide you with my best advice on how to proceed.  There is no obligation to hire me after your free phone consultation.

SATISFIED CLIENTS: 

Here are a few "Thank You" letters & testimonials that I've received, just in the last few months, from some of my satisfied clients: 

"Ben, 

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. The weight of the world is off my shoulders now that I was found "Not Guilty" by the jury. From the first time I met with you, I felt confident that you were the one to hire, and thank God I did. You knew exactly how to approach everything and your staff was helpful too. I knew I was in good hands and felt great about having you handle everything from there on out. You were an honest professional the whole way through and I will certainly recommend your services to anyone in the future who comes across hard times as I did. Thanks again."

"When I found myself charged with my 3rd DUI I was certain without a doubt that I was facing 6 months to 2 1/2 years in state prison.  Ben was able to guide me calmly through the whole nerve wracking process and did not sugar coat anything, was honest and kept me informed the whole time.  In the end Ben pulled off a miracle and I was able to avoid any jail time.  I would recommend Ben to anyone in the same situation."


"Dear Ben, 

I would just like to express my gratitude for all your hard work, dedication and professionalism regarding my case. You were a true professional every step of the way, from my arraignment to my second pretrial hearing. You kept my family and I feeling confident through the eventual successful outcome. 

I was most impressed with your knowledge, confidence and tenacity in the courtroom. When the judge said she wouldn't accept the agreement that you worked out with the prosecutor, I thought I was done, and I thought I was looking at jail time and having to register with SORB. When you refused to give up, I could not believe how hard you had worked on my case and how determined you were to save me, and I couldn't believe the judge changed her mind once you were done with your argument, giving us what we wanted. 

If I ever need legal services in the future, you will be the first one I call. Your fee was more than reasonable and you were always available when I had questions. You went above and beyond for me and I can't thank you enough."

"Thank you for your excellent representation in this matter. Coming from out of town, it was reassuring to have an attorney who was so well organized and on top of the process. It was very clear that the judge was not only familiar with you, but had a great deal of respect for you in the courtroom. I appreciate all the effort you put into my case, and thank you again for a successful representation!"

"After unfortunately finding myself in the position of an OUI charge, I will always be grateful of a referral to your office. As a first time offender in any sense of the law, I was not only worried, but also uneducated on how the system would work and what options I had going forward with my case. You were a true professional in every sense of the word from taking a free consultation call on a Sunday, to showing up to court within 24 hours of our first contact. 

From that point on, the entire process with you was very smooth, collaborative and comforting. Being able to move the case to trial quickly, along with your research, work effort and general court education was beyond impressive, and clearly what led up to the eventual "Not Guilty" verdict. I already have and will recommend your services to anyone in the future that find themselves in similar situations."

"Ben,

Just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for all your excellent work. From the first call, I felt like I had the best possible legal representation ever! Your expertise with the Massachusetts court system, your follow through, and always having Plan B, C, and D make your services invaluable. I definitely can say your fees were worth every single penny!"

-AJ


"Dear Ben,

 
It has taken me a  few days to fully comprehend that the motion was successful and my record is sealed. Thank you so much for your expertise and professionalism. When the judge asked about the proceedings if a second incident ever occurred (which it never will!) I was so impressed that you could quote chapter and verse on the rules and educate the prosecutor!
 
Many many thanks. I feel like the weight of the world is off my back. While I fervently hope that none of my family and friends ever need an attorney for such a situation, you would certainly be the first person I would suggest.
 
Best wishes to you and your family!"

"Hi Ben,

Just wanted to send a quick email thanking you for your help today. You don't know how much I appreciate it! If myself or anyone I know ever needs the type of services you offer in the future, I will be sure to refer them to you.

Thanks again and have a good week."
