Boston, MA – Keegan & Novick, P.C., a premier criminal defense law firm serving Boston, MA and boasting team members that were former soldiers, prosecutors and police officers, has been credited with contributing an eye-opening editorial piece to Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. In the article, representatives of Keegan & Novick weigh in on the latest development concerning the case of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who was suspended last summer after his no-contest plea to charges that he injured his four-year-old son with a switch. According to Keegan & Novick’s article, on February 26 a U.S. District Court judge overturned Peterson’s suspension, ruling that the NFL “wrongly took away games and pay” from Peterson last season.

As former police officers, attorneys Stephen T. Novick and Joe Keegan boast insight into the ethics of law enforcement including how to identify flaws in a case and what lengths a prosecutor will go to in order to convict. Familiar with the criminal justice system at the very ground level – the initial arrest – the duo craft what they call “the strongest defense strategies” and take time to fully evaluate every detail of the evidence against their clients to determine the best course of action to take in defending their cases. Among the myriad of legal issues Keegan & Novick address are disorderly conduct, domestic violence, drug crimes, federal crimes, hate crimes, Internet crimes, juvenile crimes, magistrate hearings, OUI/DUI, probation violation, sex crimes, stalking, theft crimes, violent crimes, warrants, weapons offenses and white collar crimes.

“We know full well the process that is undertaken to get a conviction,” states Novick. “Having been involved in the justice system as police officers, Joe and I are also completely aware of the errors and injustice that can transpire; our clients have rights and they must be protected carefully, or they could become just another statistic. At Keegan & Novick Criminal Defense Law Firm we understand that facing the repercussions of a conviction extends far beyond any jail or prison time, fines and other penalties. When one’s future is at stake, an attorney who fights to win is needed…and that’s what we do for our clients.”

Novick has been included in the list of Super Lawyers, of which only the top five-percent of attorneys in each state receive this prestigious honor annually, while also being 10 out of 10 Superb-Rated on Avvo, the highest possible rating that an attorney can receive, warranting the title “Top Attorney: Criminal Defense.” He is also a nationally-ranked Superior DUI Attorney, garnering recognition from an organization that cites the best DUI attorneys in the nation as determined by NAFDD.

“Crafting an effective defense takes hard work and commitment,” adds Keegan in conclusion. “When we take on a case, we are committed 100-percent to our clients, their future and in fighting for any possible advantage. We have a well-deserved reputation for being hard-hitting, aggressive and creative in court, and we take our responsibilities to our clients and their freedom very seriously. When one needs a criminal lawyer that will go the distance, in and out of court, it’s wise to look no further than the Keegan and Novick firm.”
