Criminal Defense for Lowell District Court and Beyond

An arrest in Lowell moves fast. Charges are filed, arraignments are scheduled, and decisions made in the first days of a case can determine its outcome.

Why Lowell Clients Choose the Law Offices of Anthony G. Puopolo

Attorney Anthony Puopolo graduated summa cum laude from Suffolk University Law School and is licensed to practice in Massachusetts state and federal courts as well as in New Hampshire — a meaningful advantage for clients with ties on both sides of the border. Our firm is one of the few in the greater Lowell area actively publishing ongoing legal commentary through a weekly podcast in 2026, giving prospective clients a genuine sense of how we think and how we work before they ever call.

 

Our dual practice in family law and criminal defense is not an accident. Restraining orders, domestic violence allegations, and high-conflict divorce frequently intersect, and having attorneys who understand both sides of that overlap gives our clients a strategic advantage that single-practice firms cannot offer.

Compassionate Counsel, Tough Advocacy

Serving Lowell, Lawrence, Woburn, and Middlesex County

Our Lowell office at 9 Middlesex Street serves as our home base for Middlesex County litigation. Clients come to us from across the region, including Lawrence, Woburn, Marlborough, and communities throughout the Merrimack Valley. For clients in Essex County, our North Andover office provides the same level of hands-on representation closer to home.

 

We also work with clients who have family law or criminal matters spanning the Massachusetts-New Hampshire line. If your case involves proceedings in both states, we can represent you without the need to hire separate counsel.

A Law Firm Built Around Your Family's Priorities

Family law clients in Lowell are not looking for a firm that will drag out their case or add to their stress. They need attorneys who will give them an honest assessment, a clear plan, and consistent communication throughout. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every matter, from a straightforward prenuptial agreement to a years-long custody dispute.

 

Attorney Gabrielle brings her own active caseload to the firm and recently secured a dismissal on a significant gun charge — a result that reflects the level of preparation and advocacy our clients receive across both practice areas.
