Do you have a will that needs to be probated? Has someone died without a will and you are unsure of what to do? Massachusetts has a "Uniform Probate Code" which describes the process to use to probate an estate both when there is a will or there is no will. Feel free to contact me to discuss the process that applies to your circumstances. Have you been involved in an auto accident or injured as a pedestrian or a bicyclist?

Have you suffered injury due to a fall or someone else's negligence? If you have, It is important for you take certain steps to protect your rights and you should consult an attorney. I have been handling personal injury cases since 1983. Do you have a question about whether a next door neighbor can build a house or add an addition to their house because it will impact your property?

Do you need to file for a variance or a special permit in your community? Are you concerned about a neighbor who is asking for a variance or a special permit because it might impact your property?

The thought of death is something that most people don't welcome.
All too often, people put off estate planning until it is too late, sometimes leading to unfortunate results.
I try to make this process as easy as possible for my clients.
I meet with clients to understand their concerns, including any problem areas with their heirs, and work out an estate plan that best meets their needs.
Sometimes a will can suffice, other times a trust or trusts are appropriate or a trust and will.
And when that unfortunate time comes, I can work with their personal representative to probate the will or administer a trust.
If you have been injured in an accident, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Photographs should be taken, evidence preserved and witnesses identified and interviewed.
By waiting too long, evidence vanishes, witnesses move and memories change.
Moreover, if you are injured in a car accident you should contact an attorney to make sure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to.
Massachusetts is considered "a no fault state."
That means that if you are injured in an auto accident you first are covered by your own automobile insurance policy's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, regardless of who is at fault.
During my 18 years on the Somerville Board of Aldermen, I have been intimately involved in the drafting and evaluation of a number of proposed zoning ordinances for the City.
I have also made numerous appearances before the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board discussing whether proposed development projects complied with the Somerville Zoning Ordinance.
Of course, because of a conflict of interest, I cannot represent clients with regard to the Somerville Zoning Ordinance or before any of Somerville's Boards.
Many sellers and buyers do not hire an attorney until after signing the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
I always advise people to hire an attorney before any agreement is signed, even a simple offer.
The reason is that some of the standard forms that are used may not provide adequate protection based on the particular circumstances of the transaction.
For example, a buyer who needs a mortgage to finance the purchase of the property should have protection in the event the mortgage is denied.
Inspection rights and certain warranties and representations, especially with regard to hazardous waste, ongoing litigation, boundary claims, violation notices, and any tenant claims are very important.
During the course of my career, I have represented individuals, companies and corporations in a variety of disputes.
These include contractual disputes, contested probate matters, personal injury claims, landlord-tenant disagreements, claims of defective construction, and neighbor disputes.
I received my training at Boston law firms where I generally represented corporations.
I also worked for a corporation where I supervised outside litigation counsel in legal actions involving the corporation.
