I have been representing injured people and their families in personal injury and workers' compensation claims for over 27 years. I also represent individuals and businesses in commercial and real estate disputes. I was born and raised in the Boston area, attended law school at Boston University and I have practiced in Massachusetts for my entire career. I am currently the President Elect of the Massachusetts Bar Association and Chair of the Board of Bar Overseers of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. In addition to my legal practice, I frequently lecture on topics of trial practice for the Massachusetts Bar Association and Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education and I serve as an arbitrator for the MBA Fee Arbitration Board which provides an alternative to litigation in the resolution of legal fee disputes between attorneys and between attorneys and clients. Previously I have served as a member of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys Board of Governors for twelve years.
