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..
