My practice covers the entire state (all five regional offices). I have been published on multiple occasions on Workers' Compensation topics. I lecture annually at seminars and train insurers and employers nationwide. I am a proud fellow of The College of Workers' Compensation Attorneys and on the Advisory Board of Kids' Chance MA. I am active in the Massachusetts Bar Association, Worcester County Bar Association and Kids' Chance of MA (Board member). I look forward to speaking with you about your questions.

Amazing Lawyer!

After learning the hard way that I was being lied to and the long delays were stall tactics to make me just go away, I was told about James R...

Replied last March 29, 2021Thank you Sean. I meet many of my clients under the same unfortunate circumstances when their attempts to work out the issues with the insurer seem to be incompatible with commonsense. I was repeatedly amazed at your capacity to forgive and turn the other cheek - consciously choosing to look at the bright side of things. I am very proud of the result and your ability to move on to bigger and better things. You did not let your injury define you. Jim.

My cell phone was listening and suggested a lawyer so I called them. That lawyer sent me to Jim Ramsey and he too...
