provides dedicated and personalized criminal defense legal representation for clients in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of New Hampshire, in both State and Federal courts. Defending Your Constitutional Rights and Freedoms Since 2011

Our constitutional rights are sacred to every individual living within the United States of America. Often these fundamental principles are overlooke

d in our everyday lives, and it is only when you are being accused of a criminal offense by the government that you realize just how important these rights are, and how much the government is willing to do to deprive you of them. was created in Boston, Massachusetts – right where these fundamental rights and freedoms were dreamt of, refined, and put to paper, creating the foundation of our Country. Its first office opened in Beacon Hill, right down the street from the building in which our second president, John Adams, successfully defended the British soldiers accused of the heinous crimes committed at the Boston Massacre. He did so at tremendous cost to his own reputation and popularity. However, by doing so, John Adams displayed through his actions and personal sacrifices his commitment to the right for every person to be given due process of law- without exception, and no matter the cost. Due process of the law, the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair and impartial trial, the right to bear arms to defend yourself and your family, the right to free speech, the right to be free from the government impeding on your personal liberties; these are not just words on paper. These are the core values of our Country that were worth going to war over in 1775, and they are worth going to war over now. The attorneys at the Law Office of Nicholas P. have dedicated their practice entirely to continuing that never ending battle to defend and protect those fundamental rights. In recent years those rights have been trampled on and ignored. Ironically no state has displayed greater deterioration of Constitutional rights, than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts – where these rights were created. Every day people are held in custody without bail on minor charges, despite their presumption of innocence. Every day people face oppressive and life-altering mandatory minimum sentences of incarceration for engaging in conduct constituently protected under our 2nd Amendment. Every day the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments are ignored when police pull cars over without justification, order people out of cars without justification, have their person or their car or their home searched without warrants, or lawful authority. Make no mistake, when you are charged with a crime it is the government that is prosecuting you. It is not a 911 caller, not an alleged victim, and not any other civilian. When you find yourself in this situation, it is critical that you hire a defense attorney with the experience and willingness to look directly at the government and fight back. The in-house attorneys, coupled with the specialized of-counsel attorney partnerships, have decades of experience and success combating the government and winning. With the Law Office of Nicholas P. serving both Massachusetts and New Hampshire citizens, you can rest assured that you have the right lawyers defending you and your rights when you need them most.

08/27/2026

An encounter with police does not automatically mean you have to agree to everything an officer asks. The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures, but the rules surrounding stops, searches, and arrests can depend heavily on the specific circumstances.

During a police encounter, you generally have the right to remain silent and may have the right to refuse consent to a search of your person, vehicle, or property. Police may still conduct certain searches or seizures without your consent when an exception to the warrant requirement applies, such as when they have probable cause or another legally recognized justification.

If you are asked for permission to search, you can clearly state that you do not consent to the search. Do not physically resist or interfere with officers; instead, preserve your objection and allow an attorney to challenge an unlawful search or seizure through the appropriate legal process.

Understanding your rights before an encounter occurs can help protect you if the situation later becomes part of a criminal investigation or prosecution.

Q&A: Can Someone Else’s Gun Lead to Your Arrest?

Yes. But simply being near a firearm does not automatically mean you legally possessed it.

Investigators and prosecutors may consider:

• Whether you knew the gun was there
• Whether you had possession or control of it
• Where the firearm was found
• Who else had access to it
• What evidence actually connects you to the firearm

In Massachusetts, knowingly possessing or having a firearm under your control without the required authorization can result in criminal charges. Massachusetts also restricts firearm possession by certain prohibited individuals.

New Hampshire has a different statutory framework, including restrictions on firearm possession by certain prohibited persons.

If a firearm is found in your home, vehicle, or another shared space, the circumstances matter. The presence of someone else’s firearm does not automatically make it yours.

If you are being investigated or arrested for a firearm offense, speak with a criminal defense attorney before making statements to law enforcement.

Clarence Darrow understood something fundamental about the practice of law: justice does not advance simply because laws exist. It advances because people are willing to challenge what is wrong.

For criminal defense attorneys, that principle remains fundamental. The role is to challenge government overreach, protect constitutional rights, and ensure that every person receives the full protection of the law.

Sometimes justice requires someone to object.

Sometimes it requires someone to stand and say, “No.”

What does the prosecution actually have to prove in an assault and battery case?

An accusation is not proof of guilt. In Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the prosecution carries the burden of proving every required element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.

Depending on the circumstances, the prosecution may need to establish that:

• The defendant acted intentionally
• The defendant caused harmful or offensive physical contact
• The contact was not accidental or legally justified
• The conduct was unlawful

The circumstances surrounding an alleged incident matter. Questions of intent, self-defense, who initiated the encounter, and whether the contact actually occurred as alleged can all become critical issues in a criminal case.

A criminal charge does not eliminate the presumption of innocence. The burden remains on the prosecution to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Some clients remember the outcome. Others remember how you got there.

This testimonial stands out because it speaks to something we believe matters just as much as the legal result: being heard, understanding what’s happening, and knowing that your attorney is genuinely focused on your concerns and your goals.

For Attorney Nicholas Frye, effective representation means more than simply handling a case. It means taking the time to explain the law, communicate throughout the process, and remain focused on the person behind the case.

We’re grateful to every client who trusts our office during what can be one of the most difficult periods of their life.

Your right to remain silent is more than a line you hear on television. It is an important constitutional protection that can have real consequences in a criminal investigation.

If police are questioning you, you do not have to explain yourself, justify your actions, or try to convince them that you are innocent. Even seemingly harmless comments can be taken out of context, documented in a police report, or used as evidence later.

If you choose to exercise your right to remain silent, do so clearly and respectfully. You can say that you do not wish to answer questions and that you want to speak with an attorney.

And remember: asking for an attorney is not an admission of guilt. It is exercising a legal right designed to protect you.

When the stakes are high, knowing when to stop talking can be just as important as knowing what to say.

The law is written in statutes, shaped by precedent, and argued in courtrooms. But the practice of law is ultimately about people.

Every case comes with its own circumstances, challenges, and human story. Experience matters — knowing how the law works in practice, understanding how prosecutors and courts approach a case, and recognizing the issues that can make a difference in the outcome.

At the Law Office of Nicholas P. Frye, P.C., we believe effective criminal defense requires more than knowing the law. It requires experience applying it when the stakes are at their highest.

08/03/2026

Violation of a 209A Restraining Order in Massachusetts is a criminal offense that can carry significant legal consequences.

A 209A Abuse Prevention Order is a court order designed to protect individuals from abuse. Violating any condition of that order—such as contacting the protected person, going to a prohibited location, or failing to comply with another provision of the order—can result in immediate arrest and separate criminal charges.

One of the most common misconceptions is that the protected person can “give permission” to have contact. In most cases, they cannot. Unless the court modifies or terminates the order, both parties must follow its terms, regardless of who initiated the contact.

A conviction for violating a 209A restraining order can lead to jail time, probation, fines, and a permanent criminal record. It may also affect employment opportunities, professional licenses, firearm rights, and future court proceedings.

If you have been charged with violating a 209A restraining order, it is important to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can evaluate the evidence, identify potential defenses, and work to protect your rights at every stage of the case.

The Law Office of Nicholas P. Frye, P.C. represents clients charged with restraining order violations and other criminal offenses throughout Massachusetts.
