Theodore Francis Riordan

I've been handling accident and injury claims (personal injury law) for 30 years. I received my training at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company. Having learned the secrets of how insurers deny claims or try to settle for pennies, I ventured out. In 1999 my partner and I started Bates & Riordan, LLP. We've had great results for our injured clients. Either the insurer is going to make a fair settlement on our cases, or we'll take the case to trial and the jury will order them to pay. On our injury cases, you don't owe us anything up front. We get paid when the insurer pays.

I also have a substantial appellate practice.  I was first exposed to appellate law when I worked at the Rhode Island Supreme Court.  Since then I've loved doing appeals. Most of my appeals concern convictions for 1st Degree Murder, but I also accept other serious felony cases.  In addition, I accept related post-conviction matters such as motions for new trial.  These cases are handled on a flat-rate basis.

While our office is in Quincy, we have clients in every corner of the state.  We will come to you if you cannot come to us. Our office is conveniently located on the Red Line (Braintree), at the Wollaston T stop. Accessible by the 210, 211, and 212 busses.

Let's discuss your case. I welcome your call..
