A knowledgeable, confident and compassionate advocate

I was referred to Sean Flaherty by my attorney. My medical situation and outlook had me feeling anxious and a bit overwhelmed before I sat down for my initial consultation with Sean. However, he clearly and concisely explained to me how the process worked and what I should expect in the coming week...s and months. I left Sean's office that day knowing that I was in good hands. I was equally impressed by Sean's legal assistant, Jennifer Medeiros. Of course, I realize that I was not Sean's only client, but she certainly made me feel as though I was. Jennifer was very knowledgeable, responsive and kept me well-informed. She proved to be well-versed with the myriad forms and paperwork as she patiently fielded my questions. Looking back over the last several months, I realize that I could not have hired a more knowledgeable, confident and compassionate advocate to help me navigate through the difficult worker's comp and disability processes. Sean, Jennifer and the folks at the Keches Law Group worked hard to get me everything to which I was entitled. I recommend Sean Flaherty and his legal team without reservation.

Focused and Responsive Attorney

My husband was injured at work and one of his Union brothers referred us to Sean. From the very beginning he has been an amazing help. Given the nature of my husband’s injury, we thought it would be a simple case and were hesitant to hire counsel. We just didn’t want to complicate things anymore w...hen we thought that everyone involved just wanted to get my husband back to work as fast as possible. Thankfully, we did hire Sean. Aside from the initial surgery for my husband’s injury, the insurance company has fought us the entire way. Sean has always been there. My husband and Sean have had to go before a judge over five times about follow-up care during the last three and a half years. Every time, the judge has ruled in their favor. Sean has stayed on top of the surgeries and the compensation for lost wages. He has worked to ensure that we received all reimbursements for travel expenses and over the counter medications. There have been times that we have had issues with missing payments from the insurance. All we had to do was reach out to Sean and Jenn Medeiros, his legal assistant, and they were always quick to respond and follow-up with the insurance. In addition, Sean pursued, and ultimately obtained, Social Security compensation for my husband. Throughout the entire process, Sean has made us feel that our understanding and opinion matter. He has been dogged in his pursuit of the claim, thorough, knowledgeable and caring. Jenn has been responsive and warm. When you are injured you shouldn’t be worried about money and medical bills, you should just focus on getting better. Sean and Jenn make a great team and they are definitely the ones you want on your side during the Workman’s Compensation process. We recommend them without reservation.

Extremely Satisfied

My husband and I highly reccommend Sean Flaherty. He has been extremely helpful from the minute we contacted him. Sean and his assistant Jen have navigated us through my husband's workmen's comensation claim for an injury he sustained at work. Our phone calls are returned promptly and our endless que...stions are answered thoroughly. Sean makes you feel at ease and takes the anxiety out of a very stressful time in our lives. We feel so fortunate to be working with such a dedicated team of professionals.

Feeling Protected

I was referred to Sean Flaherty after I was injured on the job. I am..was..an ICU nurse who was kicked several times by a patient requiring 2 surgeries with a third pending. When I first walked into the office it was a very professional setting yet not one that made you feel intimidated. When you ...talk to Sean you can tell he cares about what's going on with you. He may be a little difficult to actually speak to but that's because he's working his butt off for me. That's where his legal aide Jen Medeiros comes in. When I first met her she immediately put me at ease and told me everything would be okay, and for some reason, I believed her....there was something about her kindness and more importantly her professionalism that just set me at ease. Every email I sent her was immediately answered and when I told her I needed to speak with Sean I would get a call from him while traveling between court houses....the man is in court a lot which tells me something about this company....when Sean says he will do everything to get you everything you need to continue a meaningful life after your work related injury, that's what he's doing. Initially I thought my employer would be all I needed... I couldn't have been more wrong or naive. My case isn't over yet but I KNOW Sean and Jen have my back....certainly more than my employer. So if you find yourself in a situation like mine do yourself a favor , give Sean Flaherty a call and I guarantee for the first time since your injury you WILL feel protected.
