Personal Injury
We handle all aspects of personal injury cases including automobile collisions, slip-and-falls, and construction accidents. Our attorneys investigate incidents, obtain medical records, and negotiate with insurance companies to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain suffering. With contingency fee arrangements, clients pay nothing until we win their case.
Disability Claims
Navigating Social Security Disability claims requires expertise in medical documentation and legal procedures. We assist with initial applications, appeals processes, and representation before administrative law judges. Our experience includes preparing medical evidence, coordinating with physicians, and challenging denials through the multi-step appeals system.
Estate Planning
Our estate planning services cover wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, and Medicaid eligibility strategies. We create customized plans to avoid probate, protect assets from long-term care costs, and establish guardianship arrangements. Documents include health care proxies, durable powers of attorney, and specialized trusts for tax planning and asset preservation.
Medicaid Applications
We specialize in Medicaid eligibility strategies including trust creation, spend-down techniques, and transfer rule compliance. Our services analyze asset protection options, prepare required documentation, and handle appeals for denied applications while ensuring compliance with Massachusetts' five-year look-back period regulations.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Document vehicle damage, seek medical attention, and contact our office to start your claim. We'll help file police reports and insurance claims while protecting your legal rights.
How can I qualify for Medicaid nursing home coverage?
We analyze your assets, create protection strategies, and navigate the 5-year look-back period rules to establish eligibility while complying with Massachusetts' Medicaid regulations.
Do I really need a will if I don't own property?
Yes - without a will, state laws determine asset distribution. We create customized estate plans that specify guardianship preferences and ensure your wishes control your assets.
What happens if my SSDI claim gets denied?
We assist with appeals through all levels including reconsideration, administrative hearings, and federal court review while presenting medical evidence to support your disability claim.
How long do personal injury cases typically take?
Cases generally resolve in 6-12 months after reaching medical resolution, though complex litigation or court scheduling may extend timelines while we pursue maximum compensation.
Can I modify estate documents after creation?
Revocable trusts and wills can be amended, but irrevocable trusts have limited modification options. We'll explain appropriate changes based on your evolving circumstances.
