Practice Areas Description

Ready Kiernan & McNally, LLP provides legal representation on the following areas of practice:

- Workers’ Compensation

Every one of our attorneys is recognized as qualified and experienced practitioners who regularly appear at all offices of the Department of Industrial Accidents throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. RKM Law’s workers’ compensation counsel is further distinguished by firm partner Michael Ready… a former co-chair of the Massachusetts Bar Association Workers’ Compensation Practice Group with over 20 years experience before the Department of Industrial Accidents. Since 2007, Attorney Ready has also been selected by his peers for inclusion in Best Lawyers in America® as a noted practitioner in Workers’ Compensation Law.

- Personal Injury & Wrongful Death

RKM Law has earned a reputation for effectively representing clients in bodily injury claims. Cases in Massachusetts travel through a complicated and arduous process in our civil courts. Whether the case is tried in the District or Superior court, what is needed is a lawyer willing to take a case to trial. At RKM Law, we understand each case has its own distinctive circumstances that ultimately dictate how it will be viewed by a jury. In addition to auto, motorcycle and construction accidents of all kinds, we also represent clients in matters pertaining to nursing home neglect and homeowners’ claims such as dog bites and slip & fall injuries.

- Residential & Commercial Real Estate

RKM Law partner, Edward Kiernan, is a Certified Land Court Examiner and Life Fellow of the Massachusetts Bar Foundation with decades of experience representing buyers and sellers of residential and commercial properties. Attorney Kiernan leads our team who assist clients in the negotiation, research and closing of every type of real estate transaction. Our services include title examinations; preparation of Purchase & Sale Agreements; conveyance and financing contracts; foreclosures, escrow instructions and other related documents.

- Estate Planning, Wills & Trusts

At the heart of every estate plan is what our clients hold dearest… children, spouse/life partner, friends, faith or community organizations as well as treasured pets. Wills are important to all young parents to protect children, who in the absence of a will, become wards of the state. At RKM Law, we deeply consider every personal and financial issue to ensure estate planning goals are realized. Our attorneys will also address crucial estate tax minimization and probate avoidance strategies to spare family members from the enduring public process and costly expense of probate court. We provide expert advice on Family Business, Special Needs and Pet Planning concerns that further protect your interests.

- Probate Law

Probate is a court proceeding during which a will is confirmed as valid, debts are paid and estate assets are administered and distributed according to the provisions within the will. If there is no will or trust, the law requires an intestate probate which involves additional procedures and expense. RKM Law’s qualified probate attorneys will navigate you through the complex process; explain your responsibilities; assist with beneficiary communications and advise you accordingly. Most importantly, our attorneys will prepare and file all documents with the Probate Court and appear before the judge on your behalf.

- Trust Administration

If you are a trustee, we can help make your probate duties easier with helpful tools such as to-do lists and a system for organizing critical documents and planning administrative tasks. Our attorneys also provide invaluable advice based upon the particular trust involved… regardless of whether it was drafted by RKM Law or another firm. Additionally, we’ll provide unlimited guidance on any probate issue that may arise during the closing of the estate.

- Criminal Law

Led by former Plymouth County Assistant District Attorney Michael Kiernan, the RKM Criminal Law team has in-depth experience in criminal matters from minor misdemeanors to serious, life-changing major felonies. Our track record of success is based on exceptionally-thorough investigations; vigorous preparation, superior legal analysis, extensive trial experience and convincing negotiation skills for plea agreements. Whatever the criminal charges, we are prepared and committed to providing clients with the best possible outcome… dismissal of charges, avoidance of jail or prison time and minimizing of collateral consequences.

* Drunk Driving (OUI)

Whether it is your first or a repeat offense, we can mitigate the impact of the arrest and help preserve your driving privileges and way of life. If your child has been charged with an underage drinking violation, our years of experience can make a difference on the far-reaching implications that follow such youthful mistakes.

* Drug Crimes

Incarceration is a very frightening thought, but exists for possessing even the smallest amount of certain drugs. Your freedom may hinge on the skill and knowledge of your attorney. RKM can intervene on your behalf by challenging prosecutors, attacking evidence and presenting you in the most favorable light given the facts of the case.

* Domestic Violence

An arrest for domestic violence ripples into every aspect of a man or women’s life. It might suspend rights to see your children; cost you your job and perhaps your freedom. Our proactive defense experience can help shield you from the worst consequences stemming from domestic assault and related charges including protective order violations.

- Social Security Disability / Public Disability Retirement

Obtaining Social Security Disability or Public Disability Retirement benefits should be a straightforward matter, but nothing could be further from the truth. According to federal law, one is considered disabled if they are unable (either physically and/or emotionally) to perform jobs that are generally available in the national economy. Unfortunately, the process of securing entitled benefits can be extremely complicated, impersonal and intimidating. RKM Law partner, Brenda McNally, has successfully represented numerous clients seeking earned benefits with her mastery of the complexities of Social Security and Public Disability Retirement laws.
