Thank you for visiting my website. I hope that you find it informative, not only with regard to my achievements, but my plans for the future of the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office. Please check back often for campaign announcements, press releases, and information about how we can work together to improve the effectiveness of the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office for all of our citizens.

It is important to have a strong leader in the District Attorney’s office. The District Attorney’s position and staff can improve the protection and safety of all our citizens, especially the most vulnerable; our children and senior citizens.

The District Attorney manages the largest law firm in Norfolk County, demanding not only knowledge of the law, but experience in the courts, and the ability to lead and supervise a team of staff prosecutors. My diverse experience demonstrates not only my qualifications, but my passion for working together to accomplish important goals.

• As a legislator for 34 years, I have worked diligently to write and pass the laws that give District Attorneys the legal tools they need to prevent and prosecute crime.
• For over 25 years, I have tried important and complex cases in courtrooms across the state. Hands-on trial experience is invaluable in understanding the laws, not just as they are written, but in how they are implemented.
• As founder and senior managing partner of a large law firm, I have hired, trained and supervised attorneys – including one who went on to become the Suffolk County District Attorney.

Recently, I was asked why I would leave the State Senate to pursue the District Attorney’s Office. It was an easy question to answer. There are times when life presents us with an opportunity to use our strengths and experience to make a difference – and, for me, this is one of those times.

Not only am I proud of my work as a legislator and trial attorney, but also, the community work I have done with domestic violence prevention and drug and alcohol abuse education. Now I welcome, as District Attorney, the opportunity to keep our streets safe through the vigorous prosecution of sex crimes against children, repeat drunk drivers, drug dealers and drug traffickers, and anyone who preys on our senior citizens.

I welcome the opportunity to personally discuss my campaign with you. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please visit our Campaign Headquarters at 45 Willard St in Quincy. You may also call Campaign Headquarters at 617-376-0900 or send us an e-mail, info@votemorrissey.com. I value your input to discuss ways of maximizing the effectiveness of the District Attorney’s office, implement new initiatives to increase community involvement, and improve public safety throughout our county.

Sincerely,

Michael W. Morrissey
