Firm: Attorney Craig T Korowski

Thank you for considering me to be your attorney.  Prior to becoming an attorney I worked as a claims adjuster and claim team manager.  I handled thousands of bodily injury claims during my 16 year career.  I understand how the claims process works and how insurance companies view claims and claim value.. I now represent people who want to get paid by insurance companies.  This is a refreshing change being on the other side.  I enjoy helping people resolve their personal injury claims so they can move forward with their lives and be able to use the proceeds from their settlement to improve their lives and the lives of their family.. I also represent people in claims for social security disability benefits.  I enjoy this work and help people who often have no where else to turn obtain benefits.  In regards to SSDI claims these are benefits for people who sometimes have worked for years paying into the social security system and now need that money to survive.. I also represent criminal defendants.  Like all of my work I take this area of my practice very seriously.  But, this is the area where people have the most to lose.  I advise my client's of their legal rights, legal strategies, as well as the social, economic, and moral consequences of the decisions made relating to their case.  I am a Christian and believe that all people can be redeemed if they want redemption and want to put the work in to get it.  I once heard a minister say "there is no such thing as cheap grace.". My primary objective for all my client's is to try to leave them in a better situation than when I first began my represenation of them.  I strive to help people move forward in a positive direction.. Thanks again for considering me to represent you.. Craig

Firm: Law Office Of Attorney Joseph D. Bernard

My name is Joe Bernard. I have practiced in Hampden County, Springfield Massachusetts for over 20 years and reside in Belchertown, Massachusetts. I was in the District Attorney's Office for approximately four years and for the last eighteen years have been doing a great deal of criminal defense. I've tried well over three hundred cases in the Hampden, Hampshire, and Franklin County Superior Courts, as well as district courts across western Massachusetts. For over twelve years I was a member of the CJA panel here in western Massachusetts.. As of late, I have focused almost exclusively on representing individuals charged with driving related offenses. I have always had an interest in the area of the area of the law and in 2012 I attended and successfully completed the certification process from the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) to administer standardized field sobriety tests.. I regularly lecture and have have been actively involved with the Massachusetts Bar Association, MCLE and other continuing legal education agencies, specifically within the area of driving under the influence. I also co-wrote a chapter concerning trial preparation for the 2007 edition of Trying OUI Cases in Massachusetts,  published by Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. (MCLE).. Recently, I became involved with the Melendez Diaz challenge in Massachusetts. I represented a woman in the Appeals Court (79 Mass. App. Ct. 1129 (2011) which was one of a group of cases decided by the Supreme Judicial Court within Commonwealth v. Zeinnger 459 Mass. 775.. More recently, over the last 2 1/2 years I have been challenging trial courts in western Massachusetts attempting to get a court order to obtain training on the Draeger 9510. I have had an ongoing dialogue with the Draeger company attempting to convince them that Massachusetts lawyers need and deserve training on this machine. As far as I know this is one of the only pieces of forensic equipment not available for viewing or purchase on the open market.. Finally, several judges in western Massachusetts agreed with my request and have issued an order to provide training for myself as an expert on the machine. This order was served upon the Office of Alcohol Testing and the state police. Subsequently, the Commonwealth appealed and challenged the order before the Supreme Judicial Court. In July 2015 the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts agreed and in Commonwealth v. Nunes ordered that Massachusetts lawyers and their experts receive training on the Draeger 9510.. I am one of the five lead lawyers in Commonwealth v. Evando Ananias et al. which is further exploring the the Nunes decision and carving out new territory allowing attorneys to be able to better defend their clients in similar matters where a breath test was used.

Firm: Contant Law, P.C.

I was raised in a small suburban town just north of Boston. My parents were two of the hardest working people I have ever met. My dad was a carpenter and my mom an office manager at a local bank. We were by no means well off. In fact, during the recession in the late 1980’s my dad was laid off and could not find work for some time. He took on low paying jobs, sometimes two, just to make sure we had food on the table and a roof over our heads until the economy got better. I learned at a young age the value of hard work and perseverance. This is something I have taken with me each and every day.. When I became a lawyer in 1998, I never forgot my roots. I had no desire to work for a large corporation or work at a large firm where I would be no more valuable than the number of hours I billed. I wanted to work with everyday people who I could relate to. I saw how hard my parents worked through the hard times and the stress it placed on them. I began my practice so that I could help everyday people with everyday problems. That is why I focus – and our law firm focuses – on criminal defense, Title IX and personal injury.. In my law practice, we work with good people who are not having their best day. Whether they have been injured in an accident; charged with a crime; or financially strapped and unable to pay their bills, they usually enter our office stressed out. My job, as I see it, is to take away as much of that stress as I can. I will not only fight hard for you, but also work hard to guide you through the process in an easy understandable way. Many of our clients have never had to work with a lawyer before and don’t know what to expect. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and treat you with the respect and courtesy that you deserve. Simply, I want you to leave our office feeling better than when you arrived.
