when people call they’re often at a

Crossroads they’re distraught their

heart they’re in pain I’ve often said in

some circumstances it’s like they’re in

a nest in as the case

evolves and ultimately this resolution

via mediation arbitration or trial

that resolution

helps people leave that Nest so to speak

and get out on their own and start

making their life more whole in any way

they can

so I find it very rewarding when I know

somebody who

is able to go ahead and do that as a

result of our work the only thing we can

really help people with truthfully is to

restore them financially

to a point where they can go on with

their lives and when you see that

happening over and over again with our

clients it is very rewarding

foreign

I went to Boston University and

graduated in 1970 and then in 1973 I

graduated from Tulane University School

of Law at that time they were I would

say about 10 women in my class A Class

of about

190 people it was a very pleasurable and

obviously a rewarding time despite the

fact that there were so few women in law

school thereafter

the gates opened so to speak in as much

as by the time I graduated the numbers

were significantly higher thereafter I

worked for the fiduciary the Department

of Taxation for the Commonwealth of mass

for a short period of time I realized

that although I had learned considerable

tax information I realized that that was

not what I would find rewarding I then

went on to practice at the firm

of Feinberg and at that time it was

Feinberg Albin and Alvin

and I went and did divorce workers

compensation and always personal injury

law I think that those years of

experience and that was about 10 years

gave me a lot of significant information

that I continue to use now having done

divorce work having looked at tax

returns and also some workers

compensation I started to really

understand loss of earnings and the

intricacies of what a client would need

to show their damages as far as what

they lost as a result of an accident as

well as the earning capacity so that

background

was and continues to be a very important

part of our career in our practice

since that time and I stopped doing

domestic relations divorces and custody

that kind of thing and I don’t do any of

that work

now and I haven’t for many years but

I’ve always felt very compassionate in

terms of people

and what they go through at a bad time

in their life so clearly being injured

on a job

um or being injured at a premise or in a

car would

contribute to a deep uh change in a

person’s life and their feelings and

what they also lose so I think my

background

for having practiced so many years

has really made me aware of that type of

situation

Boston, MA personal injury attorney Marsha Alban discusses the most rewarding aspect of her practice as well as her background & experience. She shares that when clients first reach out to her, they are often at a crossroads—distraught, heartbroken, and in pain. She likens the process to helping someone leave a nest: as the case progresses toward resolution—whether through mediation, arbitration, or trial—her work enables clients to regain stability and begin rebuilding their lives. She finds it deeply rewarding to see clients restored, particularly in a financial sense, so they can move forward and reclaim their independence. Witnessing this transformation repeatedly is one of the most fulfilling aspects of her career.

She attended Boston University, graduating in 1970, and then earned her law degree from Tulane University School of Law in 1973. At that time, there were only about ten women in a class of approximately 190 students. Despite the small number of women, she found the experience both enjoyable and rewarding. After graduation, she briefly worked for the fiduciary department at the Massachusetts Department of Taxation, gaining valuable tax knowledge, but she realized her true professional interest lay elsewhere.

She then joined the law firm Feinberg, Albin & Alvin, where she practiced divorce law, workers’ compensation, and personal injury cases for about ten years. This early experience provided her with a strong foundation in evaluating damages, understanding loss of earnings, and assessing clients’ needs after an accident. Although she eventually stepped away from domestic relations and no longer handles divorce or custody matters, her early work cultivated a lasting compassion for clients navigating difficult periods in their lives. She recognizes that being injured on the job, in a car accident, or on someone else’s property profoundly affects people’s lives and livelihoods, and her background has uniquely prepared her to understand and advocate for those impacts.
