At the Law Offices of Susan E. Hamilton, I have more than 25 years of experience standing up for people accused of crimes. I am committed to delivering vigorous legal representation and personal attention for every client. From time of arrest through all phases of the case, I am fully responsive to my client’s needs. I conduct thorough discovery of the state’s evidence and amass all available proofs to counter the prosecution’s case. I fight to suppress evidence or statements that have been acquired in violation of constitutional guarantees. Based in Springfield, I serve all of Hampden County, Massachusetts.
I recognize the multiple ways in which a criminal conviction can profoundly change a person’s life. Throughout my career I have adeptly battled serious criminal prosecutions that can draw stiff sentences. These include charges of illegal possession, distribution, or manufacturing of controlled substances; illegal possession or use of gun and weapons; and assault and battery, involving alleged intent to harm or actually harming another person. I work to negotiate downward charges, reduced sentences and alternative resolutions, but I do not hesitate to go to trial if necessary to protect my client’s rights.
I have an established track record of defending clients in criminal court, diligently exposing all weaknesses in the government’s case.
I am intimately acquainted with the courts throughout Massachusetts, which allows me to navigate the local legal system efficiently and with confidence.
My deep understanding of Massachusetts criminal law ensures the crafting of a defense strategy tailored to each client's unique case.
