Boston North Shore Divorce and Criminal Law Attorney
From my Swampscott and Malden law offices, I represent clients in a wide range of civil and criminal cases throughout the Boston North Shore and Boston metro areas of Massachusetts. I am attorney Judith A. Wayne, and I can help with your legal matter in a variety of areas including:
- Criminal defense against all felony and misdemeanor charges such as OWI/DUI/DWI defense, domestic violence, drug charges and sex crimes; I also help juvenile offenders facing driving violations and other criminal charges
- Family law cases including divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, property division and alimony
- Personal injury such as boating accidents, car crashes, truck accidents, wrongful death and premises liability
I graduated from law school in 1976 and spent several years at the Middlesex County District Attorneys’ office during a time when there were few female district attorneys. During my tenure as an assistant district attorney, I tried hundreds of cases, getting invaluable experience in the courtroom and preparing for trial. I opened my own law practice in 1981, when women attorneys were still thought of as “girls” and were not typically known as aggressive defense attorneys. I was considered an oddity when I walked into the courtroom and started cross-examining police officers. That attitude changed when I started winning cases. Today, police officers are one of my largest sources of referrals.
Over the years, I have represented a wide cross-section of clients, including high-profile members of the Boston Bruins and New York Yankees sports teams. More typically, though, I represent average people, including the less privileged and disenfranchised. I have represented many non-English speaking immigrants due to my fluency in French and ability to converse in Spanish.
