Communities We Serve Across Massachusetts
Worcester County
Worcester County is our home base. We know the roads where serious collisions happen, from I-290 and I-190 to Route 2, Route 9, Route 12, and the Mass Pike, and we know the local courts and insurers that handle these claims. The Department of Industrial Accidents, the state agency that resolves workers’ compensation disputes, also has a regional office in Worcester, just minutes from ours.
- Worcester
- Auburn
- Leicester
- Holden
- Boylston
- West Boylston
- Sturbridge
- Leominster
- Fitchburg
MetroWest
The communities east of Worcester along I-290, Route 9, Route 20, and Route 140 see heavy commuter traffic, which means rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and pedestrian injuries. Our office is a short drive away, so clients in these towns get local representation without the high-volume feel of a large Boston firm.
- Shrewsbury
- Northborough
- Grafton
Southeastern Massachusetts
We’ve represented clients from Taunton and New Bedford. Busy routes like Route 24, Route 140, and I-195 bring their share of car and truck accidents, and the region’s industrial employers mean workplace injuries are common.
- Fall River
- New Bedford
- Taunton
Merrimack Valley
Lowell residents deal with dense city traffic, the Lowell Connector, Route 3, and I-495. If you were injured in a crash, a fall, or on the job, we can help you pursue every source of compensation available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need a personal injury lawyer located in my own town?
A. No. Any attorney licensed in Massachusetts can represent you anywhere in the state. What matters most is experience with the type of claim you have and familiarity with the courts, agencies, and insurers involved. We regularly represent clients well beyond Worcester.
Q. Do I have to travel to Worcester to work with you?
A. Much of the communication in an injury or disability case happens by phone and email, and we work around your schedule. Let us know what works for you when you call.
Q. How much does it cost to hire your firm?
A. Your consultation is free, and personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for you.
Q. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
A. In most cases, Massachusetts gives you three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Some claims, such as those against government entities, have shorter notice requirements. Learn more in our guide to the Massachusetts personal injury statute of limitations.
Q. Where is a workers’ compensation claim heard if I was hurt outside Worcester?
A. Massachusetts workers’ compensation disputes go through the Department of Industrial Accidents, which has regional offices in Worcester, Fall River, Lawrence, and Springfield, plus its main office in Boston. We represent injured workers before the DIA across the state.
Q. Can you help with Social Security Disability if I live outside Massachusetts?
A. Yes. Social Security Disability is a federal program, and we help applicants throughout the continental United States, from the initial application through appeals.
