About John
In the past, John was one of the premier criminal defense attorneys in the Commonwealth and played a pivotal role in discovering and exposing the Annie Dookhan drug scandal, which gained nationwide notoriety. He was the first attorney to successfully overturn a conviction based on a drug lab technician’s misconduct.
As a civil lawyer, John obtained nationwide attention in the case of Lori Franchina v. City of Providence, which greatly expanded LGBTQ rights in the workplace. He also received national attention with the case of Brian Goodrich, a construction worker who was permanently disabled due to a defective asphalt sealer who was awarded the 4th largest jury verdict of the year in 2018. You can learn more about Brian’s brutal injury and his family’s fight for justice on The Great Trials Podcast.
More recently, John has taken action against the Archdiocese of Boston for allowing the abuse of children and against multiple schools and colleges for their failure to address the prevalence of sexual abuse on campus.
Some of John’s other results include:
11.36 Million Dollar Judgment – Catastrophic Injury caused by defective construction equipment
11 Million Dollar Judgment – Traumatic Brain Injury
9.99 Million Dollar Settlement – Construction Accident
