I could not have asked for a better advocate during my divorce than Kristen Stramaglia. Over the 3+ years that were spent in and out of court for a very difficult divorce, Kristen maintained professionalism, dedication to my case, and attention to every detail that transpired. I am forever thankful and grateful for her work to ensure that my children and I can move forward in our lives without having to worry.

We worked with Jon Kurland for advice on a commercial contract disagreement with a large well-known carpet distributor (NFD). Jon and his firm were highly professional, responsive, experienced and helpful. We won our claim with 100% reimbursement, including court fees and interest. I’d highly recommend Kurland, Grossman & Stramaglia to others and we will partner with them in the future. AAA+

I called and spoke with a few lawyers the same day that I received my citations and I ultimately decided to meet with Shane Goudas as he was able to meet with me only an hour after the call on a Friday night. Where others only wanted to speak for around 10 minutes over the phone as a consultation, Shane blocked out an hour for us to speak in person and go over the events. After consulting with him, I was impressed by his knowledge, care, and attention to detail and decided to go with him.
I did not need to go to trial as the matter was resolved favorably and far better than expected thanks to him. My several citations were reduced down to only one of the smaller ones. I would recommend Shane and Bowser Law to anyone facing similar issues, I have no doubt you will be in great hands.

Very very helpful lawyer who is genuinely there to help you. I had a case that went on for over a year, and thanks to this attorney, we were able to win and reverse some of the damage done in my situation. He is very effective and is an honest lawyer for justice who wants to help, not just out for your money. He is worth working with.

I was referred to Janine to represent me in my divorce case. Although this was the first time dealing with a divorce, I had the ability to consult with numerous people regarding their experiences during their divorces, and they all agreed she was the exact counsel you want to have on your team for a divorce after me filling them in on what Janine told/taught me!
Janine is well-versed and extremely experienced, not only in the laws and processes, but also with courts and judges of Massachusetts. She knows very well how to gauge your individual situation, provide options and possible outcomes.
If you ever have the need and a chance to hire Janine, do so quickly, as I cannot believe that you can ever find a better attorney to get you want you want and more in your divorce settlement.

He was very helpful with my trust and he helped my friend pro bono, so I would trust him and ask for any advice that is legal. If you are in any tight spot then my advice is to seek out Jeff.

Paul was my Attorney for my OUI case and from the start was all I could've asked for. Paul was calm and reassuring on top of being extremely knowledgable and informative. Paul walked me through each step of the case and laid out his whole defense with simplicity so I could easily understand. Everything he told us day one was exactly how it played out in court. Paul spent the time to go above and beyond for me and in doing so, got me the outcome I deserved.

Paul was incredible defending me in my oui case. He was always calm, courteous and reassuring. He reviewed the facts of the case and explained the process every step of the way. He was confident he would win. At trial, Paul had some potential evidence thrown out as he was not provided prior to. During the Jury Trial he displayed his legal expertise in poking several holes in the prosecutor’s case. In his closing arguments he methodically walked the Jury through all the facts. End result, “Not Guilty”. I can’t thank you enough Paul. I would highly recommend Paul Donaghue Jr. to anyone in a similar situation.

Paul did an outstanding job serving as my attorney in an OUI case. He knows the law and just as, if not more importantly, the lay of the courtroom land. Very intelligent, he possessed an affable and clear communication style with not only this client, but also with all associated with my case, including the jury and all the legal powers that be at hand. I can tell that Paul is highly respected in the legal arena, and felt even before my final (and not guaranteed) not guilty verdict that I made the best choice possible in regards to my cause by hiring Paul. I would highly recommend his service to anyone dealing with such matters or those other legal issues which may be related.

JoAnne Myers has represented six members of my family over the course of her law practice. My mother is concise when describing her, "She's smart and the judges like her." I think that this is because of her respectful and thoughtful approach with people and all aspects of the legal process from swift action to methodical and tactical progress.
Her calm, collected, proven guidance gives comfort and confidence to an unfamiliar, intimidating and anxious experience. Her breadth of knowledge and immense respect from the court and legal profession give credence to the cases she represents (over a dozen for us). This is an endorsement of her integrity, fairness, effectiveness and consistency. We think that she's the best attorney in the Boston area.

Attorney Meyers assisted me in navigating a modification to my divorce agreement. I cannot speak highly enough of her and her office. She made me feel heard, understood and empowered throughout a very difficult time in my life. She was able to translate a very emotional subject into calm logic and was able to resolve the matter efficiently, allowing me to look forward to the next chapter of my life with a zest for life, rather than fear.

I hired Joanne over twenty years ago to represent me in a divorce with children involved. She guided me through a very difficult process and did a great job getting me through it.
Now, 20 plus years later, I really can appreciate the groundwork she laid long ago. Had she not looked to my future, I don't think this matter would be fully resolved yet. I was happy with her performance then, but even happier now that I've been back for the final time. Attorney Meyers is a top notch professional.

Attorney John Barker is great. He spent a lot of time trying to help resolve issues with an insurance claim pertaining to a fire at condo association in Lawrence. He offered wise counsel, that the
associations attorney failed to provide. I would recommend this law firm.

I didn't have a good experience, I signed a contract with John Barker to try to recover the money that a court decision says I have to receive, but the person moved from New Hampshire to Florida, so he told me to look for someone in Florida, we just exchanged some emails and I was forced to pay 300$, the payment was done more than a week ago, and not even the papers I sent him I got them back, my damage got bigger, I thought if nothing was I decided I wouldn't have to pay, but I was naive and signed a contract that didn't give me any benefits. One more lesson in my life, I practically had to use the week's paycheck to honor this contract I signed. I lost hope in justice and people.

The Attorney Thomas D. Doyle is by far the best lawyer I've ever used in my life for any issue Fair, honest and more than affordable with a high level of professionalism. From the moment we first met, until the disposition of my case, he was accessable, cordial, knowledgeable and empathetic. He really fought hard for our rights and got the desired outcome and then some. The case has been over for almost 2 years and Mr. Doyle still reaches out and checks on me and the family. If I didn't live in Florida, he would be the only lawyer I'd keep on retainer. Thank you again for the enjoyable experience and outcome, your service far outweighed your cost. Keep up the great work helping those in need.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
