Firm Overview

Versatile, Trusted Lawyers in Lawrence, Massachusetts

What passes for "personal service" in some law firms is an assistant or paralegal helping you fill out paperwork. When you contact Wight & Roche, you will talk to a knowledgeable lawyer — Stephen Wight or James Roche — and get dependable answers. We are responsive to our clients, we return our calls, and are readily accessible by email when you have questions or need an update.

Personal Injury — Family Law — Criminal Defense

We are proud to say we have a general law practice, because that means we can help you through many of life's most difficult challenges. We are equally capable of:

• Obtaining the compensation you need to recover from car accident injuries or another type of personal injury
• Advising and advocating for you in a sensitive family law matter such as a divorce or custody dispute
• Forcefully defending your rights when you have been charged with a criminal offense

Strong Familiarity with New Hampshire and Massachusetts Courts

We are based in Essex County, Massachusetts, and we also practice actively in New Hampshire. The perspective that comes with practicing actively in two states is an asset in itself. Also, in situations that present a "choice of law" between the two states, we can advise you of the more favorable jurisdiction.

The people we counsel and represent come from all walks of life, from Lawrence to Cambridge and Newburyport in Massachusetts, and from the Manchester, Nashua, Salem and Portsmouth areas in New Hampshire. Court officials and other attorneys in all these locations are familiar with Wight & Roche — a firm with a very strong reputation for our skill, integrity and accomplishments.
