Salem Criminal Defense Attorney

Aggressive Legal Representation

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime in Massachusetts, you have real reason to worry. State lawmakers have passed laws that allow for heavy penalties, even for relatively minor offenses such as drunk-driving / OUI-L. The first and most vital step in fighting your charges is to get immediate legal representation from a high quality, aggressive criminal defense lawyer.

I am Attorney Kevin Prendergast and my firm is KRP Law, LLC. Over my twelve years in practice, I have successfully defended some of the most serious criminal charges. My background as a former police officer and prosecutor gives me real insight into the best way to navigate the justice system for the benefit of my clients. Because of this background, I can quickly analyze how a police investigation varied from the police officer's training. This allows me to identify the weak points in the investigation and attack the validity of the investigation – all to the benefit of my clients.
