Anthony leads the firm’s Title IX practice, representing and counseling students, faculty, and professionals in administrative investigations and disciplinary proceedings. He also advocates for the free speech rights of service members subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Anthony is a retired United States Army Judge Advocate with more than 20 years of senior military legal leadership and investigative experience in high-stakes institutional and governmental proceedings. He maintains strong ties to Boston’s civil liberties bar.

Through his service as the Title IX Investigator, Interim Title IX Coordinator, and Acting Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity at Brandeis University, Anthony gained an insider’s perspective of how academic institutions handle due process and First Amendment issues. He oversaw investigations and institutional responses under Titles VI, VII, and IX; chaired the university’s Title IX Committee; and directed and implemented campus-wide compliance and training initiatives, including efforts to safeguard academic freedom and religious liberty.

Due process rights were also a central focus of Anthony’s military career. As a Special Investigator for the National Guard Bureau’s Office of Complex Investigations, he directed and supervised sensitive investigations involving allegations of discrimination, misconduct, harassment, and sexual assault, drawing on specialized training in criminal and special victims’ investigations from the U.S. Army Military Police School and the Naval Justice School. He was responsible for leading investigative teams across the United States and Puerto Rico.

As a Judge Advocate, Anthony served as senior legal counsel to military leadership on complex issues implicating due process and First Amendment rights. He advised commanders responsible for thousands of service members in high-stakes operational environments on military justice, administrative law, ethics, compliance, and civil litigation. Anthony was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for his work in Afghanistan advising Task Force Yankee and the Kabul Base Cluster leadership, directing legal operations in support of multinational NATO combat missions and counter-drug operations, and base-wide law and order functions.

Anthony’s commitment to civil liberties originates from his Italian upbringing in the working-class outskirts of Boston. In gratitude for the opportunities America has provided, the Sciaraffas have a tradition of military service, proving not only a belief in liberty, but a demonstrated sacrifice to preserve it. When Anthony is not preoccupied being an overly educated freedom fighter, he is a devoted full-time hockey dad and musician. A product of the 80s Boston punk scene, Anthony is an avid guitar collector, classic rock aficionado, and plays a wicked fahkin’ mean guitah for a Grateful Dead cover band. He also counsels his clients in guitar matters, free of charge.
