Gravel & Shea PC | Criminal Defense in Burlington, VT (h1)
Gravel & Shea PC is located at 76 St. Paul Street, 7th Floor, Burlington, Vermont 05401, and can be reached at 802-658-0220. Among Vermont’s longer-established firms, Gravel & Shea pairs a criminal defense practice with corporate, employment, family law, real estate, and estate planning work, giving clients access to broader legal support when a criminal matter touches other parts of their lives. The criminal defense group is led by attorneys Amanda M. Hemley, Brooks G. McArthur, and David J. Williams.
Brooks McArthur, a featured attorney in the practice, previously served as Chief Deputy State’s Attorney for Chittenden County and Deputy State’s Attorney for Washington County before moving into defense work; he was lead counsel in what the firm describes as the largest white-collar federal fraud case in Vermont history. The group, staffed largely by former state and federal prosecutors, handles matters ranging from street-level offenses to complex white-collar cases in both state and federal court, and maintains working relationships with Vermont’s prosecutors’ offices that the firm says are useful in negotiating favorable outcomes even short of full exoneration. McArthur also handles personal injury, medical malpractice, family law, and appellate litigation.
The firm has been named among the Best Law Firms in the U.S. by Best Lawyers for 2026, alongside recognition from Super Lawyers and a top-tier ranking from Chambers USA. McArthur individually holds bar admissions before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and multiple federal district courts, and belongs to the Vermont Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Vermont Association for Justice.
