About Meredith Underwood
Massachusetts Criminal Defense Attorney
My Approach
I believe that every client deserves a thoughtful, strategic defense from the very beginning.
Being charged with a crime can feel overwhelming and uncertain, and I am committed to guiding my clients through that process with clarity, discretion, and a strong, results-driven defense strategy.
As a former Assistant District Attorney, I understand how the government builds its case—and I use that insight to identify weaknesses, challenge evidence, and protect my clients’ rights at every stage of the process.
