Q: Describe your practice. Who is your typical client?

A: Our clients are typically members of working families who are victims of traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, construction site injury, trucking accidents, explosions, burns and workplace accidents.

Q: New medical advances are reported every day. Are there developments that have made it easier or harder for you to pursue cases?

A: We have come from the Stone Age to the Space Age in terms of handling and presenting traumatic brain injury cases. We have been representing TBI clients since 1984. In the last few years, new technology and medical advances have allowed us to see things in the brain previously invisible. However, these advances are not easily integrated into a case. We have developed a network of expert neurologists, neurosurgeons, neruopsychologists and neuroradiologists around the country to properly evaluate, test and assist in brain injury cases. These injuries can be difficult to locate, identify or understand. You need to digest and analyze data from multiple tests, each with a different specific modality. With our experience and expert assistance, we can integrate these tests into our cases to present an insurmountable wall of evidence the defense simply cannot overcome.

Q: What do you see as the most important development in personal injury practice over the last five years?

A: After many years, the legislature has finally mandated attorney-conducted voir dire in Massachusetts. I was honored to recently be appointed by the Supreme Judicial Court to assist in drafting the new voir dire rule, a historical advancement in the law.
