Rick Did the Impossible
Rick Is Our Hero! The last two years have been nothing short of a roller coaster with emotions that matched. The potential sentence swung from worst case scenario of multiple years to a more reasonable timeline, if any timeline is easy to swallow. In the end, Rick did the impossible. The judge and DA agreed to a greatly reduced sentence in the House of Corrections and we will forever be grateful. Thank you, Rick, for your amazing work, and this is definitely a case where it pays to hire the best! Friends for Life, Julie and Brendan

Attorney Sabrina Bonanno Defends Man Accused of Tracking Boston Couple's Car
The Supreme Judicial Court has decided to weigh in on a case where a man
has been accused of tracking two vehicles using a GPS device. The Commonwealth
alleged in court documents that the man believed his significant other
was having an affair and that is why he used the GPS devices.
After being charged with criminal harassment, the man’s attorney,
Sabrina Bonanno (of Sweeney & Associates LLC) successfully argued
in District Court that the charges should be dismissed. The Commonwealth
appealed the dismissal and the Supreme Judicial Court has decide to weigh
in on the issue of whether it is legal to track the whereabouts of another
person using a GPS device in Massachusetts.
“My client is accused of doing what any private investigator would
have done,” said Bonanno, the Quincy attorney representing the man.
“It is not a violation of the law.” Bonanno defends against
the suggestion that the actions, though admittedly disconcerting for the
affected parties, are criminal under Massachusetts law.
The Supreme Judicial Court is likely to schedule oral argument for the
fall of 2018 and will ultimately render a decision that could change how
GPS tracking devices are used in Massachusetts by private citizens.
