This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

When insurance covers only part of a construction accident, and leaves you hanging, it is time to get a competent Attorney

On a construction site in Massachusetts, I was injured 5 years ago due to obvious contractor's negligence of implementing full protection and safety measures. Doctors recommended rest and provided short term medication, that were adequate for coverage by the insurance. Knee pains remained and res...ulted in knee procedure first, and several months after in a bone spur surgery to one leg. Colleagues and staff of my client-owner of the project, seeing my physical deterioration and knowing the facts of the accident from me, advised that I need to consult with an attorney. I did indeed consult with Attorney Whitman and worked the details of my case with Attorney Dan Munnelly. They agreed to take on my case after our first meeting. The case took 3 years of litigation that ended fairly by a mediation. Attorneys Whitman and Munnelly, researched profoundly the case and documented all details from our conversation and particularly from their own research. Always responsive, my attorneys Steve and Dan, were excellent communicators with me, always digging deeper and deeper, then consulted with other attorneys to build up a strong case. I am grateful for their attention and great work. I strongly recommend them to others.

The Law Office of Steven Whitman in Boston represented me in a personal injury liability case that was successfully resolved this month. Steven Whitman is a very competent lawyer, works diligently on behalf of his clients and has a high degree of integrity. I really appreciated his personalized ser...vice (he arranged to visit me at home when I was immobile due to my injury), excellent ongoing communication and how accessible he was for any questions we had taking the time to explain the legal process and steps along the way toward a successful outcome. Steven Whitman is one of the top personal injury lawyers in Boston and I would highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
