Personal Injury

Having tried several hundred cases, I can certainly argue any set of facts; after more than 20 years in practice, I am confident that I know evidence and the law; but as you can see from my background - I also know most of the players. This combination has provided my clients with consistently successful and outstanding results. I have been a resident of Western Massachusetts for my entire life. After serving as a prosecutor in Hampshire County, I was recruited to work in the litigation department of one of the most prestigious firms in Springfield. I handled a wide array of civil and criminal litigation as the lead counsel. Due to my hard work, I was one of the two youngest persons to be voted partner in this almost Century old firm. I was chosen to serve for many years on the firm's three-member Executive Committee. In late 2012, I left to start my own firm. When clients were contacted, all but one of the several hundred clients' files that I was working on chose to move their cases to my firm. That same year, I had been elected to serve as the President of the Hampden County Bar Association, which has over 900 members. I am continuously rated a 10 and receive awards for customer satisfaction on AVVO.com. I can help you navigate any of the courts located in Western Massachusetts. I am also licensed in the (federal) US District Court for Massachusetts.

We treat our clients differently and we evaluate and prepare our cases differently. First and foremost, we believe clients should be treated as individuals and not just a number. Many personal injury law firms assume that nearly all their cases are the same. They assume that most of their cases will settle before the lawyers have to do any work on the case. They assume that all their cases will settle before trial. We will only take cases that we are willing to take all the way to trial if necessary. We are different. Call us today and let’s discuss your situation.
