About Shepard O’Donnell

Shepard O’Donnell is a leading Massachusetts law firm that represents victims of mesothelioma, sexual abuse, and other serious injuries.

We are dedicated to securing justice for people harmed by powerful organizations: corporations that exposed workers to asbestos, manufacturers that released unsafe products, and institutions that failed to protect those in their care. For more than 30 years, we’ve represented clients with compassion and determination in cases involving mesothelioma, institutional sexual abuse, and other serious injuries. Our decades of experience, deep expertise, and access to leading experts in their fields, allows us to deliver exceptional legal representation. 

Responsive, Sincere, and Compassionate Lawyers

What sets us apart isn’t just our track record of success. It’s how we work with our clients. Our attorneys are known for their responsiveness, sincerity, and respect for the people we represent. Our trauma-informed approach when working with sexual abuse survivors ensures a safe, supportive environment in which to share your experience. Our sexual abuse team also includes a victim advocate who will be by your side throughout the process to answer questions and offer support and resources.

We strive to make the legal process as clear and convenient as possible, coming to your home (if necessary) to listen to your story, and keeping you informed every step of the way. When you put your trust in us, we take that responsibility personally. We don’t see clients simply as cases or claims. We see them as parents, children, teachers, veterans, and survivors. We see families navigating some of life’s hardest challenges.

Massachusetts Attorneys for Massachusetts Lawsuits

When filing a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts, there is perhaps nothing more important than hiring a Massachusetts-based attorney. At Shepard O’Donnell, we thoroughly understand the Commonwealth’s legal landscape, have a comprehensive knowledge of all potential mesothelioma defendants in our state and beyond, and are part of the local community. Out-of-state attorneys will need to hire local counsel, so it makes sense to work with experienced local lawyers from the outset. Specific, relevant Massachusetts litigation experience is critical to securing the best possible outcome.

Our Results speak for themselves.
