Firm Overview

Fall River, Massachusetts, Criminal Defense Lawyer

At the Law Office of Kenneth D. van Colen, in Fall River, Massachusetts, I believe that you have the right to expect the vigorous and effective legal representation that lawyers are sworn to provide their clients. I am attorney Kenneth van Colen, and I would like you to get to know me better.

I have deep roots in southeastern Massachusetts

Upon graduating with honors from Suffolk University Law School, in Boston, Massachusetts, I landed a position as the Assistant District Attorney for Bristol County. As an assistant D.A., I handled a wide variety of criminal cases, and I learned how the system works from the State’s point of view. I gained invaluable courtroom experience, and I built mutually respectful relationships with my fellow colleagues - lawyers and judges alike.

Moreover, I came to understand how and why cases are dismissed or why they proceed to trial. There can be no doubt that this knowledge has made me a better attorney.

Firm History and Philosophy

After five years as an D.A., I decided to open my own practice so that I could better serve my clients. Since 1997, I have proudly offered a full range of criminal defense, family law, and personal injury litigation advice and representation. As your attorney, I will take very seriously the fact that you are likely facing legal difficulties that could have an enormous impact on the rest of your life. Likewise, I will take the time necessary to ensure that your problems are solved to the fullest extent that the law allows.

I take the time to clearly explain the law and how it applies to you

I work hard to ensure that you never wonder if you hired the right lawyer. Throughout the process of your legal matter, I aggressively represent your best interests and keep you fully informed about your options and how your decisions will affect the outcome of your case. When you retain me as your lawyer, you get me, not an associate or a paralegal. I take the time to educate you about Massachusetts and federal law, and how your case may be affected. I never forget that you are hiring me for my knowledge of the law, and I make sure you get your money's worth.

I sincerely hope that when you come to me for advice or representation in the areas of criminal, family, or personal injury law, you will leave feeling reassured, educated and in control. Contact me today for a free initial consultation.
