A defense attorney’s purpose.
Before opening his criminal defense practice, Timothy Shyne spent eleven years as an Assistant District Attorney in Plymouth County. His experience includes District Court and Superior Court prosecutions, juvenile matters, and serious felony cases.
He served as Chief of the District Courts in Plymouth County. That background informs his work for the defense: understanding how a prosecution is assembled, examining its assumptions, and preparing to challenge its evidence.
Today, his practice is centered on representing people facing criminal allegations. You can expect straightforward conversations about your case and careful preparation at each stage.
