Raised in Watertown, Massachusetts, Carmine was the first in his family to graduate college. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Tufts University and his juris doctor from Suffolk University Law School. For the past 30 years, Carmine has represented children, parents and small businesses and has regularly provided free legal services for adults and children in need through his law firm in Framingham. While he has largely curtailed his practice to focus on his work as a legislator, his career as a lawyer has given Carmine an understanding of the wide variety of challenges faced by residents and businesses in the MetroWest.
While Chapter 209A provides protection through restraining orders for men and women who have been or are threatened by domestic violence, we need to do more. As your State Representative I will work with educators, health professionals, and fellow legislators to develop programs for our high school students to better protect them from dating violence outside the home and domestic violence.
