When I got arrested, and was facing a litany of felonies some with mandatory minimums attached. I felt utter despair, my world was crashing down around me. That's when I reached out to Carney, Gaudet & Carney looking to find some guidance or reassurance through my predicament. Within an hour of reaching out, I ended up on the phone with Nat Carney in a comprehensive phone call that concluded with a confidence that Nat would be the right person to represent me through this turbulence. That was the best decision I could have made, Nat ended up being my savior and piloting my ship through the storm to the safety of the harbor. I felt like he was personally invested in trying to help me reach the best outcome possible. He helped me to understand my situation, all the options I had, and the different repercussion for the different options. I hope to never need his services again, yet if I ever find myself or any of my loved ones in need of representation Nat will undoubtedly be my first call.

Nat was amazing. I received a warrant for my arrest for a 38 year old speeding ticket. Despite the crazy nature of the charge it was still very stressful. Nat immediately reassured me. He took my call on a Sunday and by the end of the week the charge was dismissed prior to the hearing. He kept me up to date throughout the process and was great at explaining everything I needed to know. .

J and Nat are the best in the game. I had a terrifying legal nightmare that was causing me to lose sleep and peace of mind. Carney, Gaudet, & Carney was the second firm I hired after having a terrible experience with my first firm, and WOW what a difference this made. I was able to finally rest knowing I was being taken care of by the best lawyers in Boston. The outcome of the case was nothing short of perfection, something that many legal professionals told me was nearly impossible. Everything was removed from my record and I can continue life as if it never happened. These lawyers are worth every single penny. I would strongly recommend this team to absolutely anyone who has been wrongly accused and needs the best representation they can find.

My family overwhelmingly recommends the Law Firm of Carney, Gaudet and Carney, to any person/s needing advocacy and facing criminal charges. This team of experts has been a beam of hope to my family, not once, but twice, and during times when the likelihood of an advantageous resolution appeared untenable. From the first filings to the final judgements, these attorneys provided an outstanding defense from unjust accusations. Additionally, their counsel, comportment, skill sets, perseverance and strategies, offered the emotional supports needed for our family to persist through two cases. Further, their expertise of state and federal mandates helped to raise the inequities both in the charges and in the laws. We are infinitely grateful to Attorneys J.W. Carney and Nat Carney for helping to protect our loved one?s future. If you are seeking a top-notch criminal defense Law Firm that works diligently to defend you and/or your loved one/s, then look no further. Carney, Gaudet and Carney is the Law Firm you want, and more importantly, the one you need.

Put simply, attorney Nat Carney saved my life. I was charged with 2 crimes that I did not commit. It was a really upsetting and exhausting experience that seemed hopeless. His competence was the only beacon of light the entire way. He utilized his knowledge and experience to make several moves that ultimately led to the dismissal of both charges. And it was abundantly clear he was doing more than "meeting his obligations". He knew I was not guilty, and it drove him to will the perfect outcome into existence. Thank you Mr. Carney.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
