Top best C Lawyers in Boston | 5885 available

I've been a practicing attorney for more than 36 years now. I graduated from the New England School of Law in Boston with my Juris Doctor cum laude and went on to receive my Master of Laws and Letters in American banking Law Studies from Boston University School of Law.  I worked for the FDIC as thier primary bankruptcy counsel in the New England area for about 6-1/2  years from 1990 to 1996. In 1995 I received dual Board Certification from the American Bankruptcy Board of Certification (now the American Board of Certification) in both Consumer and Business Bankruptcy Law as separate disciplines. I have been re-certified by the ABC in 2000, 2005 and 2010 since my original certification. I have operated my own boutique law practice since June of 1996 in the Metro-Boston Area representing, Debtors, Creditors and Trustees in Bankruptcy. I have also served as adjunct factulty in courses on Bankruptcy law at Bently University, New England School of Law and Northeastern University Law School, as well as giving seminars on bankruptcy law to Massachusetts District Court Judges and Massachusetts Probate and family Court Judges. Very rencently, I was voted one of the 2023 Lawyers of the Year by the Editorial Board of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, for my work in obtaining a direct appeal to the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals and successfully overturning an adverse bankruptcy court decision that an Internet Payday Lender sponsored by an Indian Tribe was not entitled to claim sovereign immunity from liability arising from a violation of the Automatic Stay and then successully defended that First Circuit decision before the United States Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision.. One of the nicest things that my colleagues and clients have repeatedly told me (and others) is that my approach to bankruptcy practice is very "creative" and that I am able to look at problems using a very much "outside the box" approach, so that even where a client has "dug themselves a hole", I am able to salvage their situation so as to protect their practical interests, not just their technical legal rights. I take great pride in coming up with practical solutions to difficult issues that push the envelope of what is possible, even using something as complex as the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

I received my Juris Doctor law degree from Boston University School of Law in 1976 and was admitted to the practice of law in Massachusetts in January 1977. The second case I ever worked on was a workers compensation claim and I have been handling workers compensation claims ever since.. I have handled many other kinds of cases both criminal and civil including personal injury, family law, residential and commercial real estate and contract  transactions and administrative hearings on both the state and federal levels. I have tried literally hundreds of cases most of them workers compensation administrative hearings but also other kinds of administrative hearings as well as bench trials and jury trials in the district and superior courts.. My practice since 1980 has been mostly in handling workers compensation claims and for the past 15 years workers compensation claims have been my exclusive practice. That means that unlike most other lawyers who handle workers compensation claims as just one of the many kinds of cases they handle I handle only workers compensation claims day in and day out.. As a result, I am generally immediately aware of changes that often occur in workers compensation law, legal decisions, rules, regulations, practices and procedures.. If you choose me as your attorney you can be confident that your representation will be experienced, expert and up-to-date.. While I do not make house calls I am available by appointment for videoconference via Skype or FaceTime.. You can contact me during regular business hours by telephone at or by email at any time.

I participate in all areas of the firm's personal injury practice, but focus on medical malpractice, general negligence, premises liability, and product liability claims.  I have proudly dedicated my entire career to representing injured people.. I am active in local bar organizations and currently serve on the Board of Governors for the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys. I regularly participate in events and programs for law students and undergraduates, and I am currently a 1L mentor for Boston University School of Law. My writing has been published in MCLE’s Massachusetts Tort Law Manual and the MBA Massachusetts Lawyers Journal Section Review.. In addition to legal practice, I have represented clients pro bono through the Women’s Bar Foundation’s Elder Law Project and Family Law Project and I act as the captain of SUGARMAN’s annual Lawyers Have Heart team, raising funds for the American Heart Association.

I joined Krokidas & Bluestein in 2013. I concentrate my practice in the areas of health care, non-profit, administrative and corporate law.. I represent hospitals, long-term care hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, community health centers, behavioral health providers, hospices, visiting nurse associations, assisted living residences, CCRCs, community-based human service organizations, and allied health professionals on matters relating to contracts, corporate compliance and legislative and regulatory matters.

I have thirty years' experience in successfully resolving business disputes through litigation, mediation, and arbitration. My first focus in each case is preparation of a thorough, analytical and practical assessment, working with the client to develop an accurate picture and a strong, sensible strategy for optimal resolution at controlled cost. Each client has personal access to me throughout the representation, but we also have a "deep bench" of support in all relevant areas of legal expertise. My goals are to continue to improve in all aspects of the complicated problem-solving that we do, and to make each client a satisfied continuing member of a mutually beneficial network.. Business and partnership restructuring and separation; fiduciary and directors' and officers' disputes; patent, trademark and copyright litigation; bankruptcy litigation including claims resolution, contested matters and adversary proceedings; international arbitration.

I have spent the past 30 years litigating a wide variety of matters, principally in business litigation and professional liability. This includes many jury trials in the state and federal courts. In recent years, I also have represented numerous executives, many at the CEO and EVP/SVP level, in employment and severance matters. I am national counsel for a major professional liabilty insurer and outside general counsel for a major Massachusetts business active in the construction industry.. Interests include spending time with my two daughters and reading, sports, and art. When I visit a new city, I check first to see what sporting events are in town and failing an opportunity there, will visit the local art museum. Favorites: The Louvre, National Gallery, Metropolitan, and MOMA. Most recent reading "find" is Haruki Murakami, perhaps Japan's most noted novelist today.

I have practiced law since 1981 and am admitted to the bars of Massachusetts, Florida, and the District of Columbia.  For most of my career I was a public defender -- more than ten years as a federal public defender, and another ten years as a state court defender.  I also spent four and a half years teaching criminal defense trial practice at Harvard Law School.  I have tried all kinds of serious felony cases in both state and federal court.  My trials have included rape, murder, burglary, robbery, wire fraud, and conspiracy cases.  I am also an experienced appellate lawyer and I have at times represented my clients straight through the appeals process.

I have practiced environmental law for over 30 years.  While my practice is mainly focused in Massachusetts, because I have clients with operations located out of state, involving federal law, such as superfund and RCRA, I advise clients on these matters throughout the United States. My work has ranged from negotiating a biomass feedstock agreement for a project in Hawaii, to negotiating superfund settlements for sites located in Louisiana and clean up contracts for sites located in New Jersey and throughout the US.  I like to think that my clients are solving environmental problems.  Because they are at the interface between environmental problems, the public and business, they face a wide array of issues.  My job is to help to navigate that maze in a cost effective, thoughtful and responsible manner.  The end result is to produce results for today's businesses and tomorrow's environment.  The breadth and depth of my experience is demonstrated by the environmental due diligence I performed on the acquisition by my client of over 50 hazardous waste facilities located in thirty states, resulting in my client becoming the largest hazardous waste company in North America.  Most recently my practice has focused on development of renewable energy facilities, ranging for solar projects on landfills to utility scale biomass facilities.  I have been very involved with the proposed regulatory changes for the development of anaroebic digestion facilities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  I hope to continue to participate in the development of domestic renewable, cleaner energy resources to reduce dependence on foreign oil.  In addition, I continue to represent a wide array of clients on superfund, c. 21E, RCRA, solid waste, recycling, environmental review, zoning, clean up contracting and related issues.

I have over forty years experience performing a full complement of services to the real estate, hospitality, and finance industries specializing in acquisitions, sales, development and complex financing transactions. I have currently added specialization in the placement, evaluation, and closing of real estate and asset-based financing, including substantial work in the purchase of loan portfolios and in loan restructuring. This experience includes representation of buyers, sellers, and developers in complex transactions from Maine to Florida together with representation of institutional and fund lenders.

I have over 9 years of experience in patent preparation and IP portfolio management.             I graduated from the Suffolk University Law School with a J.D. degree and concentration in intellectual property law, patent law specialization. I am admitted to practice before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and I am licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.             After graduation, I worked as a patent examiner at the USPTO, conducting searches and analyses, and preparing office actions on the applications related to the semiconductor fabrication and other relevant fields. I worked as a consultant at a small IP boutique law firm in Lexington, Massachusetts. I managed PCT patent applications related to the biotechnology and chemical engineering fields, including nanotechnology, semiconductors, and device fabrication areas.

Also, I hold an M.S. degree in chemical engineering with specialization in the semiconductor device technology and I have extensive experience in the field of fabrication, testing and characterization of semiconductor devices.

I have had success applying an "outside-of-the-box" approach to complex legal problems.  In one recent example of this, my firm and I were able to successfully survive a statute of limitations motion to dismiss on grounds that our plaintiff client's claims accrued some fifteen years prior to the time he filed suit.  The key was a creative approach to interpreting governing trust language.. In addition, I strive always to show courtesy, kindness, compassion and professionalism to my clients.  I return calls and emails promptly.

I have developed my practice over the past three decades, focusing primarily on bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings. I often represent individuals and small businesses, secured and unsecured creditors, committees of creditors, trustees and equity security holders in bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings as well as financial institutions and other lenders in out-of-court loan restructurings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, foreclosures, repossessions, and the sale of distressed assets and businesses. I also have experience representing business debtors in workout, restructuring and bankruptcy matters.. I have extensive experience in all facets of cross border insolvencies and cross border insolvency litigation. I am regularly engaged by private equity firms, governmental agencies and estate representatives to advise and counsel them on a wide range of cross border insolvency issues, with particular emphasis on United States/Western Europe jurisdictions.. Over the years I have cultivated extensive knowledge and skill in commercial and complex business litigation including veil piercings, corporate officer and director liability, successor liability, fraudulent conveyance and transfer litigation and constructive trust litigation.
