Welcome

Law school teaches an attorney to identify the legal issues involved in any given situation. It is a skill that is essential to the competent practice of law. But law school cannot teach you everything. At the Law Office of Richard A. Lalime, one of the more important things we do for our clients is to cut through the Latin and the legal complexities to explain, in a straightforward way, exactly what our clients are facing.

Law school did not teach us how to do that; experience did.

What We Do
We provide our extensive knowledge, skill, and dedication to clients throughout the Merrimack Valley and Middlesex and Essex counties with legal concerns in our primary practice areas of personal injury and criminal law matters.

• Personal Injury
  We help people who have suffered a serious personal injury or lost a loved one due to another's negligence. We provide highly skilled and aggressive legal representation in cases of wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, auto accidents, products liability, slip and falls, workers' compensation, commercial vehicle accidents, and more. Our extensive background and focus on these cases is a tremendous asset to our personal injury clients.
• Criminal Law
  We defend individuals in all types of criminal cases and fight to protect their rights. We represent those who have been accused of felonies and misdemeanors including DUI charges. Drunk driving penalties have recently become substantially more severe with the passage of 'Melanie's Law'. If you are facing a DUI or other criminal charge, contacting an experienced defense attorney is exactly the right move to make.

In addition to our special focus on personal injury and criminal law, we also offer high quality legal services to clients in real estate matters and with wills & estates. No matter what your specific concern, we are here to guide you through the legal process and resolve your case in the best possible way.

If you have suffered a serious personal injury or are feeling overwhelmed in the face of criminal charges against you, contact an experienced Middlesex County personal injury attorney or Massachusetts criminal defense lawyer at the Law Office of Richard A. Lalime today for a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
