Leanne Beliveau

Director of Firm Operations

Leanne Beliveau serves as the Director of Firm Operations at the Law Office of Nicholas P. Frye, P.C., where she oversees the day-to-day administrative and client-facing functions of the practice. With a strong foundation in relationship-building and organizational leadership, Leanne ensures that the firm operates efficiently while maintaining a client-centered focus.

Leanne began her professional career in the Greater Boston real estate market, where success depended not only on managing complex transactions, but on guiding individuals through significant and often emotional life decisions. That experience shaped her commitment to clear communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and personalized service — values she now brings to the firm’s practice.

Understanding that clients facing criminal charges often experience uncertainty and stress, Leanne prioritizes responsiveness, organization, and compassionate communication. She works closely with clients, courts, and Commonwealth personnel to ensure that each case proceeds smoothly and that clients remain informed throughout the process.

Her professional background also includes roles as an Executive Assistant in higher education, where she refined her skills in time management, professional communication, research, and administrative coordination — all of which support the firm’s operational excellence.

Leanne holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in English from Endicott College, as well as a Master’s Degree in Research Psychology from Brandeis University. Her academic training strengthens her analytical abilities and reinforces her thoughtful, client-focused approach to firm management.

Outside the office, Leanne enjoys spending time with her dog, attempting (with varying success) to keep her houseplants alive, and getting lost in a good book.

How can we help?

We understand that it is often during extremely stressful situations that individuals turn to hire legal counsel. Our firm’s goal is to provide the highest quality of legal representation during difficult times, while trying to mitigate the stress factors that inevitably come with all legal experiences.

The Law Office of Nicholas P. Frye does not charge for introductory phone calls or initial consultations.

Our attorneys have extensive training and experience defending against complex criminal matters including homicides, sex offenses, and firearm offenses. These cases require years of education and first-hand experience in areas of criminal defense that most lawyers are not equipped with. These specialized areas include DNA Comparison/Analysis, Ballistics evidence, Fingerprint Analysis, Forensic Psychology, Accident Reconstruction, Digital Media Enhancement, Utilization of Expert Witnesses, and more.

We bring the same high standard of training and expertise to the defense of the more common criminal charges in society such as OUI/DUI charges, Accusations of Domestic Violence, Drug Offenses, and Restraining Orders. When charged with one of these types of offenses, you are better represented by lawyers versed in the complexities of criminal defense, as opposed to the self-proclaimed “OUI Specialists” or “Expert Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers” who read from a script out of some Drunk Driving Defense manual. Every case is unique and you need a lawyer that knows how to attack the issues in YOUR case.

This firm has a well-established history of success in defending OUI/DUI/Drunk Driving Charges. We have this reputation of success because we treat every case like its own unique case and defend these charges with the same dedication and attention we bring to the defense of those more complex criminal cases. We are NOT self-proclaimed “OUI Specialists”. We are Criminal Defense Specialists with decades of results to verify our expertise.

If you are accused of a crime in Massachusetts or New Hampshire, no matter what the charge is, we are ready to defend you.

Please do not hesitate to contact us or call us at (617) 903-3675. We will listen to your unique concerns and circumstances; our goal is to tailor our representation to you, as an individual.
