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..

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..

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 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.
