About Lefteris K.
Lefteris K. Travayiakis built his legal foundation in Boston. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Wentworth Institute of Technology in 1999 and completed his Juris Doctor at Suffolk University Law School in 2002. Those academic years set the stage for a career spent handling matters in Massachusetts courts.
After law school he entered practice in the state where he trained. He is admitted to the bar in Massachusetts and also authorized to appear before the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. His practice has involved appearances in both state and federal forums. Over time he established an office operating under his own name and has maintained a steady presence in the local legal community.
Clients and colleagues see him most often in criminal matters. His professional memberships reflect that emphasis. He holds memberships in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Those connections keep him current on developments in criminal procedure, evidentiary law and trial practice. They also provide a forum for exchanging ideas with other defense practitioners across the state and the country.
His workday is a mix of courtroom time, client meetings and legal research. He prepares motions, argues hearings and negotiates on behalf of people facing a range of criminal charges. The cases he handles span routine pretrial matters to contested hearings. He has represented clients before arraignment judges, in plea proceedings and at trial settings. In federal court he has filed pleadings and argued matters consistent with the procedural demands of that forum.
Peers describe him as practical and direct in his dealings. He tends to present straightforward options to clients and to pursue the most immediate remedies available under the law. He uses courtroom experience to shape strategy in pretrial negotiations and to assess the realistic prospects of different courses of action.
He maintains an active solo practice under his own name. That office handles consultations, defense representation and litigation in Massachusetts state courts and in the federal district. He remains a member of professional defense associations and continues to represent clients in criminal matters across the commonwealth.
He practices under the name Lefteris K. Travayiakis and focuses his practice on criminal defense and related litigation in Massachusetts state and federal courts.
