CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER
Meet Attorney Anthony Riccio
Anthony Riccio is an experienced trial lawyer and regarded as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Massachusetts. A former state prosecutor, Anthony has over 12 years of experience practicing criminal law in Massachusetts. He has been recognized by Super Lawyers nine years in a row (2016-2024) for criminal defense, a distinction awarded to only 2.5% of attorneys in Massachusetts. Anthony has served as lead counsel in approximately 60 trials, including 40+ jury trials with a nearly 90% acquittal rate as defense counsel.
Before opening Riccio Law in 2015, Anthony worked at a Boston law firm defending personal injury & wrongful death claims. Previously, Anthony worked for the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office where he prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases ranging from OUI/DUI/DWI (“drunk driving”) and drug possession to allegations of sexual assault. Anthony’s past experience allows him to anticipate how the opposing side will prosecute a criminal case or defend a personal injury claim and he uses that knowledge to his client’s advantage.
Outside of work, Anthony is an avid sports fan. He enjoys golfing and regularly attends Providence College men’s basketball games as a season ticket holder.
Want to give a big thank you mr Anthony Riccio and Riccio and law, I had reached out on an old case from 2006 and he responded immediately and took action even taking extra time out of his day to resolve this matter for me. Responded immediately to any questions I had and even went out the way to make sure everything was ok after things were taken care of. Very professional and honest straight forward. Highly recommended. Thank you again!!!!
