Criminal charges involving violence or domestic disputes can be complex, emotional, and life-altering. Beyond legal penalties, they can affect your relationships, your employment, and even your immigration status.
Attorney Stephen A. Roth understands the gravity of these cases. With nearly a decade of criminal defense experience, he approaches every situation with discretion, compassion, and a commitment to justice. Whether you’ve been wrongly accused or made a mistake in a moment of crisis, Stephen focuses on building a strong defense that considers your entire story — not just the allegations.
Violent & Domestic Crime Defense Services
Assault and battery charges can arise from misunderstandings, self-defense situations, or false accusations. We analyze every detail — witness accounts, police reports, and evidence — to ensure your side of the story is heard and your rights are protected.
Assault & Battery
Criminal harassment or intimidation charges can quickly escalate without proper defense. We work to challenge the evidence, protect your reputation, and seek outcomes that minimize long-term harm to your record and opportunities.
Threats, Harassment & Intimidation
These cases often involve complicated relationships and emotional dynamics. We handle them with professionalism and empathy, defending clients against false or exaggerated claims while ensuring your case is presented clearly and respectfully in court.
Domestic Violence & Abuse Allegations
If you acted to protect yourself or someone else, the law gives you that right. We build strong self-defense cases supported by evidence, witness statements, and a deep understanding of how these cases are handled in Massachusetts and New Hampshire courts.
Self-Defense & Defense of Others
Restraining & Protective Orders (209A / 208)
A restraining or protective order can have serious consequences, including restrictions on where you can live or see your family. We help clients respond to these orders, prepare for hearings, and work toward fair, balanced resolutions.
Your Story Deserves to Be Heard.
A single accusation doesn’t define you. Whether you’re facing assault, domestic violence, or harassment charges, we’ll help you tell your story, protect your rights, and begin rebuilding your life.
