In existence for more than 50 years, Sugarman has grown into one of the largest personal injury firms in Massachusetts, and is recognized as one of the pre-eminent plaintiff’s trial firms in New England. With skills honed by decades of experience, Sugarman’s attorneys take their representation of clients seriously and bring a passion for the law and unsurpassed standards of training, preparation and commitment. “This firm’s dedication to excellence is grounded in our commitment to our clients. When someone has been catastrophically hurt and they, or their family, look to you for help, anything less than your very best is simply unacceptable,” says partner Robert W. Casby.
PRACTICE AREAS
Sugarman focuses on civil litigation, ranging from simple negligence cases to complex liability and malpractice suits. These actions include fire, explosion and electrocution accidents; medical and professional malpractice; construction accidents; products liability; premises liability; motor vehicle, aviation and railroad accidents; and sexual and physical assaults. Sugarman also represents clients in business disputes, insurance claims and professional disciplinary matters. Many of the firm’s cases have changed the law at the appellate level. As a result of its long history of success, Sugarman has the expertise, financial resources and network of expert consultants to handle the most complicated and challenging cases.
