SUGARMAN is honored to be recognized as a 2025 Best Legacy Law Firm by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in its inaugural In the Lead: Legacy Law Firms list.
For over 60 years, SUGARMAN has represented and helped people who have suffered life-altering injuries. From the beginning, founders Paul and Neil Sugarman believed that clients need to be represented by skilled trial lawyers, not just case handlers, marketers, or worker bees. They committed themselves to trying cases in court while mentoring the next generation of trial lawyers coming up behind them – this tradition and dedication to clients continues on to this day. Over the past 6 decades, SUGARMAN’s attorneys have successfully handled virtually every type of personal injury case imaginable and have repeatedly established important legal precedent in the Commonwealth’s appellate courts – most of which continues to assist the injured in their claims against corporations and insurance companies.
Beyond the courtroom, SUGARMAN’s founders helped shape the legal landscape as early leaders of influential organizations like the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys and the American Association for Justice. Over the years, the firm’s partners have continued that legacy by serving in leadership roles within these organizations, as well as on the Board of Bar Overseers and in local government. All five of the firm’s partners are widely respected as leaders in the field of personal injury law, bringing unparalleled depth of knowledge and experience to every case. Three partners have been inducted as Fellows into the American College of Trial Lawyers – one of the most prestigious accolades a trial lawyer can receive.
A deep commitment to equal justice underpins SUGARMAN’s work. For decades, the firm has been a major supporter of Greater Boston Legal Services, driven by the belief that everyone—regardless of income—deserves high-quality legal representation.
Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly’s Legacy Law Firms program celebrates firms that have made a generational impact on the legal profession in Massachusetts for at least 25 years. SUGARMAN is proud to be included in this distinguished list and looks forward to continuing its mission of advocating for its clients for decades to come.
