Dhar Law, LLP expresses its deep and profound sadness at the loss of Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As a lawyer, RBG was a tireless advocate for women’s rights and as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, she used her deep intelligence to protect the most vulnerable among us. Her loss leaves a deep tear in the fabric of justice.
RIP, RBG.
Our attorneys and staff are deeply saddened by the recent news of Chief Justice Ralph Gants' untimely passing. He was truly extraordinary - a visionary leader who was relentless in the pursuit of making the Massachusetts court system a place where access to justice was available to everyone.
Let us make it our task now to carry on his work on these fronts and honor his profound legacy! #justice #MassSJC #liberty

Our firm is pleased to announce that Vikas S. Dhar has been invited to join the Steering Committee of the Boston Bar Association’s White-Collar Crime Section. Of the 43,000 lawyers in Massachusetts, the BBA’s White-Collar Crime Section is comprised of 20 veteran prosecutors and experienced defense attorneys in state and federal criminal proceedings including Financial and Securities Fraud, False Claims Act, Public Corruption and Foreign Corrupt Practices Act cases.
Founded in 1861, the Boston Bar Association has 13,000 members drawn from private practice, corporations, government agencies, legal aid organizations, courts and law schools.
We are saddened to hear of the passing of Judge Juan R. Torruella today. Judge Torruella had a long and impactful career on the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He was a leading advocate for the rights of Puerto Ricans and spent his career advocating for their equal rights as U.S. citizens. His insight and passion will be missed.
Judge Torruella has had a very productive and high-ranked judicial career, authoring more than 1,690 published opinions. From 1994 to 2001, he served as Chief Judge for the First Circuit, replacing Judge Stephen Breyer, who was appointed to the United States Supreme Court as Associate Justice. While serving as Chief Judge for the First Circuit, Torruella was appointed to the Executive Committee of the Judicial Conference and was the United States representative at the Conference of Chief Justices of the Americas in Chile, Panama, and Washington, D.C.
Our firm congratulates Vikas S. Dhar on his selection as a 2020 Massachusetts Super Lawyer. His outstanding professional achievements have been continuously recognized by the New England legal community!

Monday, August 5, 1974 - Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself.
If under the Twenty-Fifth Amendment the President declared that he was temporarily unable to perform the duties of the office, the Vice President would become Acting President and as such could pardon the President. Thereafter the President could either resign or resume the duties of his office.
Although as a general matter Congress cannot enact amnesty or pardoning legislation, because to do so would interfere with the pardoning power vested expressly in the President by the Constitution, it could be argued that a congressional pardon granted to the President would not interfere with the President’s pardoning power because that power does not extend to the President himself.
Our firm would like to congratulate #BostonPolice #CommissionerWilliamGross for his decades of service in keeping the residents of Boston safe. As a trusted and respected member of the community, we thank you for all your hard work and wish you the best in retirement.
The wait for justice has been almost a decade long. 27,000 people who may have been wrongfully convicted of DUI offenses using faulty breath tests between 2011 and 2019 are finally getting the opportunity to have their day in court to restore justice, their individual reputations and in some cases their ability to hold driving licenses in the state.

Approximately one year ago, our world was upended by the pandemic. Courts, schools, churches, restaurants and gathering spaces closed. We helped those in need and spread love and cheer in new ways. We learned to work in a virtual world since the real one was suspended without motion. Families were separated by an invisible threat, fear was palpable. But while we counted the days in isolation, we all grew closer together based on our shared narrative: that we would never allow such fear to control our lives, and we now emerge with strength renewed. The future is bright.
