Boston, MA personal injury attorney Perry Feinberg shares the most rewarding aspect of his practice and the one piece of advice do you repeatedly give to your clients. The most rewarding aspect of the practice is the opportunity to help people who are going through traumatic and life-changing incidents through no fault of their own. The legal process that follows these incidents can be complex, and it is very rewarding to guide clients through it. On a personal level, it’s also gratifying to work with family; the firm is in its third generation and has been practicing for almost 80 years. Working in such a collaborative environment is incredibly fulfilling. When clients hire the firm, they don’t just receive the experience of one individual attorney—they benefit from the collective experience of the entire firm.

A piece of advice frequently given to clients is to keep a journal or log of their ongoing medical treatment, recovery, and day-to-day impairments. This can include pain experienced or activities they can no longer do. The reason for this advice is that, when it comes time to resolve a case, it is important to have as much information as possible about how the accident has impacted the client and will continue to affect them in the future. It is far easier for clients to write things down as they occur than to try to recall the details months later.
