Boston Criminal Defense Lawyer
Trial-Tested & Nationally Recognized Massachusetts Defense Attorneys
Criminal charges can derail everything you’ve built. A conviction may mean prison time, heavy fines, sex offender registration, and a permanent criminal record that follows you into every job application, housing search, loan inquiry, and professional licensing review for the rest of your life. The criminal justice system doesn’t reward the innocent for simply asserting innocence. A defense must be built, argued, and won. You can’t do that alone.

A Former Prosecutor Who Now Fights for You
Attorney Brad Bailey spent years on the other side of the courtroom before building one of Boston’s most respected criminal defense practices. He served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, the largest and busiest in the country, and in Middlesex County, then as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boston with the Organized Crime Strike Force and the Drug Task Force, and later as Sheriff of Middlesex County from 1995 to 1996. That prosecutorial background shapes everything: he knows how charges are built, which evidence prosecutors prioritize, and how they argue to juries, and he uses that inside knowledge to construct the opposing strategy for every client he defends. With five decades of legal experience and more than 100 superior court and federal trials, I bring a level of courtroom depth that few Boston criminal defense attorneys can match. I serve clients throughout Greater Boston, including Cambridge, Medford, and Somerville.
My criminal defense practice handles cases including, but not limited to:
Your freedom, your reputation, and your family’s future are on the line. Don’t wait to get the defense you need. Contact us at (617) 500-0252 today.

What Sets Brad Bailey Apart from Other Boston Criminal Defense Attorneys
Most defense attorneys have only ever sat on one side of the courtroom. I’ve sat on both. That difference is not incidental. It shapes every decision I make on a client’s behalf, from how I evaluate the government’s evidence to how I prepare for trial. I understand what’s at stake beyond the verdict: your freedom, your financial security, your family’s stability, and your reputation. Every client I take on gets the full weight of that experience behind them.
A Federal Trial Record No Other Boston Defense Attorney Can Match
As a state prosecutor, I handled armed robbery, cocaine trafficking, murder, and other serious felony cases in both the Manhattan D.A.’s Office and the Middlesex County D.A.’s Office. As an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Boston with the Organized Crime Strike Force and the Drug Task Force, I never lost a federal trial in cases involving organized crime or international drug conspiracy, and I earned the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s highest ranking of “Outstanding Prosecutor.” I know the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and am respected by its judges and clerks. That insider knowledge now drives my defense work, and it has contributed to a perfect 10.0 Superb Avvo Rating built on professionalism and a proven track record of not guilty verdicts.
Credentials & National Reach
My background extends well beyond Massachusetts. Educated at Harvard and UVA School of Law, licensed in Massachusetts since 1987 and New York since 1984, and admitted pro hac vice in federal or state courts in Maine, California, Arizona, Maryland, Wisconsin, Virginia, and New Jersey, I bring national reach to cases that demand it. I’ve filed and argued cases before the First Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Judicial Court, and the Massachusetts Court of Appeals. I also serve as a regular guest analyst on local radio and TV stations, including exclusive television commentary for FOX’s Boston affiliate on cases of local, regional, and national importance.
