Now what?

I spent time digging through court records, client feedback platforms, and firm websites. Not the advertising pages. The actual results pages.

Here are seven firms with verified wins, real client stories, and clear track records. Each one brings something different to the table.

How These Picks Were Made

Every firm on this list has been practicing in Massachusetts for at least a decade. Each one operates on contingency. That means no hourly billing. No surprise invoices. They take a cut only when you get paid.

Massachusetts law gives you three years from the accident date to file most injury claims. Some cases have shorter deadlines. Do not assume you have time.

A good personal injury attorney watches that calendar for you. That is one less thing on your plate while you heal.

1. Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers

Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers started this firm in 2013. He was a young lawyer fresh out of New England Law, where he made Dean’s List and served on the Law Review. Eleven years later, the firm has helped over 7,500 people and recovered more than $200 million.

Three things to know:

• They have a mobile app called Case Status. You log in. You see exactly where your case stands. You message your legal team. No waiting for someone to call you back.
• They give you 30 days to change your mind. Hire them. Decide within the first month that you want to go a different direction. Take your file and leave. No payment. No argument.
• They answer the phone at 2 AM. Not an answering service. Not a recording. A real person. They also travel to your hospital bed or your kitchen table.

Their biggest win: $17.6 million. Yahoo Finance covered the story. That is not a typo.

Other verified recoveries: $2.5 million for a motorcycle accident. $250,000 for a slip and fall. $145,000 for a pedestrian hit by a car.

Recognition: TrustAnalytica ranked them the number one personal injury law firm in Boston. USAttorneys lists them as a Premium Member. Lexinter hosts a dedicated profile for Michael D. Kelly.

Where to find them: 65A Atlantic Ave, Boston, MA 02110. Also in Lowell, Waltham, Cambridge, Revere, Arlington, Salem, Springfield, Worcester, Nashua (NH), and Hartford (CT).

2. Breakstone, White & Gluck

Marc Breakstone, David White, and Ronald Gluck have been representing injury victims together for over 30 years. You will not hear them on the radio. You will not see them on a billboard. Their reputation moves through courtrooms and client referrals.

Three things to know:

• An insurance company offered $1 million to settle a case. The firm said no. They went to trial and walked away with $7.5 million. That is what happens when a lawyer has spent decades inside courtrooms.
• Marc Breakstone stands in front of law students at three different schools. Boston University. Northeastern. Suffolk. He trains the next generation of lawyers while still winning cases for current clients.
• Through Project KidSafe, the firm has given away more than 36,000 bicycle helmets to children across Massachusetts. Not a symbolic gesture. Actual helmets on actual kids’ heads.

Their signature case: A five week old infant went into a hospital for a routine hernia repair in 2002. She came out with permanent brain damage and spastic quadriplegia. The firm settled for $7.5 million. Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly called it the largest reported medical malpractice settlement in state history at that time.

Other practice areas: Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, construction site accidents, and wrongful death.

Where to find them: 2 Center Plaza, Suite 530, Boston, MA 02108.

3. Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers

Christopher Earley founded his firm in 2005. Twenty one years later, other personal injury attorneys send him cases they consider unwinnable. He takes them anyway.

Three things to know

• He has written six books. Not legal textbooks. Consumer guides that explain how insurance companies try to lowball injury victims and what to do about it.
• He hosts a podcast and writes two legal columns. He does not just practice law. He educates people about their rights outside the courtroom.
• He volunteers with the Greater Boston Food Bank and the Chelsea Collaborative. Community work is not an afterthought. It is built into his schedule.

Verified settlements: A retirement home paid $1.1 million after an incident there. A sleeping commercial van driver caused a head on crash worth $700,000. A farm dog mauled a young boy. Settlement: $250,000. A restaurant worker slipped on a wet floor during dinner rush. $225,000. A wooden porch collapsed under a renter. Another $225,000. Ice and snow outside a building led to a $200,000 payout. A car struck a bicyclist who had the legal right to be on the road. $190,000.

Languages: Speaks Spanish. Helpful for clients who prefer to communicate in their first language.

Where to find them: 44 School Street, Suite 805, Boston, MA 02108. Also in Hingham.

4. Morgan & Morgan

Morgan & Morgan employs one thousand lawyers spread across every state in the country. Nationwide, the firm has brought back more than $30 billion for people who hired them. In Boston, you can find them at 155 Federal Street.

Three facts worth noting:

• In March 2024, a Boston jury awarded $650,000 to one of their clients. The insurance company had offered $25,000. The firm rejected it. The jury gave twenty six times more.
• Each case gets a full crew. Investigators who dig for evidence. Medical specialists who review injuries. Experts who testify. All on the payroll full time. No freelancers.
• They took on Google and won $425 million for users whose data was collected without consent. That is the kind of corporate firepower they bring to Boston cases.

The Boston case: Tracey Honan was attacked by a dog. Severe injuries. Physical and emotional trauma that would not fade. Grant Gillenwater, Nina Bonelli, Nicholas Brown, and Dillon Brozyna took the case to trial. The insurance company had $600,000 in coverage. They offered $25,000. The jury awarded $650,000.

Other national results: $644 million for a man paralyzed in a slip and fall. $13 billion from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. $1.8 billion from the Porter Ranch gas leak.

Where to find them: 155 Federal Street, Suite 2, Boston, MA 02110.

5. Altman & Altman LLP

David Altman represents the third generation of his family in this line of work. He has been recovering money for injured Massachusetts residents since 1999. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Thousands of clients.

Three things to know:

• Boston magazine named him one of the “150 Most Influential Bostonians” in 2024. That list includes politicians, business leaders, and nonprofit executives. He is the only personal injury lawyer on it.
• He serves as General Counsel for the David Ortiz Children’s Fund. The former Red Sox slugger’s charity provides lifesaving heart surgeries for kids in the Dominican Republic and New England.
• He answers his own phone. Not a paralegal. Not a receptionist. David Altman. At any hour. Try that with a national firm.

Their biggest settlement: $5.25 million for a 20 year old college student who lost his leg in a landscaping accident. Sun glare blinded a driver who veered off the road and pinned the young man against a landscape truck. Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly reported the settlement. Other notable wins $700,000 from a head-on crash where a commercial van driver fell asleep and crossed the center line.

Languages: Spanish, Russian, French, Hungarian, and German.

Main office: 675 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139. Also in Boston and Needham.

6. Jason Stone Injury Lawyers

Jason Stone opened his practice in 2004. Twenty two years later, his firm operates on a simple promise called the Stone Cold Guarantee. You pay nothing unless they win.

Three things to know:

• They assign three people to every case. Not one overworked attorney. Three professionals. One team. All focused on you.
• They promise a response within 24 hours. Most firms say that. They actually do it. Client reviews confirm it.
• They provide updates every two weeks. No disappearing for months and resurfacing with a low settlement offer. You know where your case stands at all times.

Verified case results: $1 million for a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury after being attacked by security staff at a Boston area establishment. $2.75 million for a pedestrian struck by an Army recruiter who was not paying attention. $2 million for a woman sitting on a toilet when an exhaust fan crashed through the ceiling onto her head.

Peer recognition: Other attorneys rate Jason Stone 5.0 out of 5.0. One managing partner wrote that Jason handles everyday and challenging circumstances with professional and ethical handling. Fair and honest in every situation.

Languages: English and Spanish.

Where to find them: 225 Friend Street, Suite 301, Boston, MA 02114.

7. Colucci, Colucci & Marcus

Dino Colucci founded this firm in 1988. Thirty seven years later, he still serves as lead trial counsel. His son Darin Colucci runs the firm day to day as managing partner.

Three things to know:

• They secured the largest personal injury settlement in Massachusetts in 2024. $20 million. That is not a firm-wide total. That is one case.
• Dino Colucci represented victims of the 2001 World Trade Center attack and people harmed by Whitey Bulger’s criminal enterprise. He has handled cases most firms would not touch.
• The Superior Court appointed him to mediate a seven-year-old multiparty case. The court was stuck. He resolved it. That is the kind of respect he has from judges.

Other verified results: $70 million for unfair business practices. $36.5 million for a motor vehicle case. $6 million for a wrongful death case. $2.5 million against a municipality for an illegal police chase that caused partial paralysis. $1.8 million for a child disfigured by a defective vaporizer.

That table gives you the quick facts. Now, let us dig into the stuff people actually worry about.

Why Most People Wait Too Long to Call a Lawyer

Here is something lawyers wish clients understood.

After an accident, most people assume they can handle things themselves. They talk to the insurance adjuster. They give a recorded statement. They sign a medical release.

Then the adjuster offers a small check. The victim thinks, “That seems fair. I was not that hurt.”

Six months later, back pain shows up. Physical therapy costs pile up. Lost wages add up. The insurance company says, “Sorry. You already settled.”

That is why you call a personal injury law firm before you talk to any insurance adjuster. Not after. Before.

The firms on this list all offer free consultations. No charge to ask questions. No obligation to hire them. Just an hour of a lawyer’s time to tell you whether you have a case and what it might be worth.

Use that.

Final Thoughts

Boston has no shortage of personal injury lawyers. What it has less of are firms with verified results, transparent practices, and lawyers who actually return calls.

Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers gives you a 30 day out, a mobile app to track your case, and $17.6 million worth of proof. Breakstone, White & Gluck turned down $1 million and won $7.5 million. 

Earley Law Group has seven verified settlements on the record. Morgan & Morgan turned a $25,000 offer into a $650,000 jury verdict. Altman & Altman brought home $5.25 million for a college kid who lost his leg. Jason Stone Injury Lawyers assigns three people to every case. Colucci, Colucci & Marcus secured the largest settlement in Massachusetts for 2024.

Pick two. Call them. See who listens before they talk. That is your lawyer.

Do not wait. The three year clock started the day you got hurt.
