The Patriots had a chance to win the Super Bowl, and like many loyal New England fans, I was disappointed to see them lose, especially the way they did and to the New York Giants– again. As many of you who read my blogs know, I enjoy sports– especially the competition. We learn many life [...]

Today it happened again, and it happens all too often. A lady came to see me about her injury case. She was hoping the insurance company would treat her fairly, and she learned a tough lesson– the insurance company offered her a deal all right, a raw deal. The word needs to go out to [...]

Today I helped a client at the Lowell District Court– in Mass, it’s the city where I grew up and the court where I, as a law student, worked for a lawyer who represented a lot of clients. Last time I was there was 30 years ago– time flies. I didn’t have gray hair then [...]

Was talking to a friend who represents insurance companies. It’s a job and he’s a decent guy. He tells me a familiar story these days. The insurance companies pay his bills. They hire him. They treat their own lawyers like dirt— not all, but many. So where on earth do you injury victim stand with [...]

Injury victims should take nothing for granted. It costs nothing to talk with an experienced injury lawyer, so make the call. I am working on a very serious accident case. My client got smashed up real bad. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time– that’s how these cases go. A real nice [...]

If only the insurance companies had the same kind of loyalty and allegiance to its policyholders. But they don’t. Generally speaking it is a good [...]

I don’t care what your politics are, or if you are mired in apathy– couldn’t care less. I understand political apathy. With few exceptions we have been lied to by both political parties. So we say ” why bother?” Well, we need to care, even a little bit. Recently our government passed the NDAA, national [...]

Today I met with a number of injury victims. The first couple I met with was real nice. The wife got in a car crash a year ago and came to see me after getting an offer to settle from the insurance company. They decided not to get a lawyer right away. The insurance adjuster [...]

One of my best radio commercials, I think, was done several years ago by our ” mail man.” He had a raspy voice, sounding like an old timer. His complaint was that he needed to hire personal injury lawyer Charlie Donahue for a back injury. ” Bags and bags and bags of settlement checks for [...]
