Michael Shepard

I founded Shepard Law on the principle that personal relationships matter. We represent real people who are suffering from serious injuries. Our clients usually aren’t familiar with the way the legal system works—they never planned to be dealing with the problems that they suddenly have to face. They want someone to talk to them in plain language like a real person, someone who will listen to their story and who understands what they’re going through. They want to be heard—to get help tailored to their unique situation, not be treated like an asset that’s passed off to another law firm. I’ve made it a personal promise that no client will ever feel that way when they work with myself or any of the attorneys at Shepard O’Donnell.

For nearing 30 years, I’ve represented plaintiffs in personal injury cases. And every year, my firm achieves millions of dollars in verdicts or settlements for clients. Along the way, I’ve come to know wonderful people who have gone through some extremely difficult ordeals. I’ve had the chance to spend time with WWII veterans, construction workers, vehicle mechanics and folks from many other trades and occupations whom I might not have had a chance to meet, let alone help, had I chosen another career path. I’ve learned something from each and every one of them.

If you choose to partner with us at Shepard O’Donnell, I look forward to learning something from you too.

At Shepard O’Donnell, we prioritize not only our personal relationships with clients, but also our expertise and the constant advancement of our skills. As a former Plaintiffs’ Liaison Counsel for the Massachusetts Asbestos Litigation docket (2017-2022), and with Erika currently serving in this role, we are positioned as leaders in asbestos litigation in Massachusetts.
