Firm Information
Overview
At Yannetti | Johnson, our Salem, Massachusetts, office represents individuals charged with criminal offenses ranging from DUI/OUI and drug crimes to domestic violence, violent crimes, weapons offenses, sex crimes, theft charges, motor vehicle offenses, federal and white collar crimes, restraining order violations, clerk's hearings, petitions to seal records, appeals and other felony and misdemeanor matters. We understand that every criminal case is unique, and we tailor our defense strategies to the specific circumstances surrounding each client.
Experience matters in criminal defense, but so does perspective. Because our attorneys include former prosecutors, we understand how the government evaluates evidence, prepares cases and approaches negotiations. That knowledge enables us to challenge weaknesses in the prosecution's case and develop thoughtful legal strategies designed to protect our clients' rights at every turn.
Our firm is led by attorney David Yannetti, whose career began as an assistant district attorney before he established his criminal defense practice in 1999. Since then, he has built a team of accomplished trial lawyers known for their preparation, courtroom skill and commitment to achieving favorable results. Whether representing clients during investigations, pretrial proceedings or jury trials, we remain focused on delivering strategic and effective advocacy.
We also recognize that facing criminal charges can be overwhelming. Questions about employment, family, education and future opportunities often weigh heavily on our clients. Throughout the legal process, we prioritize communication, making sure our clients understand their options and feel informed about the decisions affecting their cases.
Every case deserves careful attention and a vigorous defense. We are committed to protecting our clients' constitutional rights while pursuing the best possible resolution through negotiation, litigation or trial. In addition to serving clients from our Salem office, we also have offices in Boston and Dedham.
