Personal Injury, Military Law & Criminal Defense Lawyers Serving Massachusetts

Headquartered in Rhode Island, Licensed in RI and Massachusetts

          Corrao & Robles Law represents individuals and families across Massachusetts who are navigating some of the most consequential legal situations a person can face. Attorney Corrao handles personal injury matters with the compassion and determination that injury victims deserve.

          Personal Injury Cases — Attorney Amanda L. Corrao

          Serious accidents on Massachusetts roadways, waterways, and properties leave victims facing enormous medical expenses, lost wages, and painful recoveries — while insurance adjusters work quickly to minimize what they pay out. Attorney Corrao represents injury victims throughout Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge, Brockton, New Bedford, Quincy, Lynn, Fall River, Newton, Somerville, Lawrence, and communities across all of Massachusetts’s counties.

          Motor Vehicle Accidents

          Collisions on Interstate 93, Interstate 90 — the Massachusetts Turnpike — Route 128, and the heavily traveled roadways connecting Boston to the surrounding communities of Greater Boston, Metro West, and the South Shore cause serious and sometimes life-altering injuries. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning the percentage of fault attributed to each party directly affects the compensation available — making skilled legal representation essential from the outset of any claim.

          Boating Accidents

          Massachusetts’s extensive coastline along Cape Cod, the South Shore, the North Shore, and the waters surrounding the Boston Harbor Islands make boating accidents a recurring and legally complex matter. These cases frequently involve overlapping state and maritime law, and the involvement of multiple insurance policies and jurisdictions can make resolving them without experienced legal counsel especially difficult.

          Slip and Fall and Premises Liability

          Property owners throughout Massachusetts — from commercial businesses in downtown Boston and the Seaport District to residential landlords in Worcester, Brockton, and Quincy — have a legal obligation to maintain reasonably safe conditions for those who enter their premises. When negligent maintenance, dangerous conditions, or inadequate warnings cause a serious injury, Attorney Corrao holds the responsible parties accountable.

          Wrongful Death

          Massachusetts wrongful death law allows surviving family members to pursue compensation for the loss of a loved one caused by another’s negligence. These cases require both the compassionate handling of a family’s grief and the determined legal advocacy needed to achieve fair accountability. Attorney Corrao handles wrongful death claims throughout the Commonwealth with the seriousness and care they deserve.

          Additional Personal Injury Cases

          Attorney Corrao is also knowledgeable and experienced in the following personal injury scenarios, and she’s ready to work with you to build a strong case.

          Military Law Cases — Attorney Nelson Robles

          Massachusetts is home to a significant military presence, including Hanscom Air Force Base in Middlesex County, the Natick Soldier Systems Center in Worcester County, and multiple Massachusetts National Guard installations throughout the state. The proximity of Massachusetts to major East Coast military installations means that service members, veterans, and their families throughout the Commonwealth regularly face military legal matters that require experienced and knowledgeable representation.
          Attorney Robles represents service members and veterans facing military legal matters throughout the East Coast and in applicable federal matters, bringing the firsthand perspective of a former JAG officer to every case he handles.

          Military Criminal Defense

          Court-martial proceedings, Article 15 non-judicial punishment, CID investigations, and NCIS inquiries require an attorney who understands the Uniform Code of Military Justice not just as an academic matter but from direct professional experience within the system. Attorney Robles defends service members against the full range of UCMJ charges, from sexual assault allegations and drug offenses to desertion, conduct unbecoming, and financial misconduct.

          Military Administrative Matters

          Military careers can be ended or severely damaged by administrative proceedings that receive far less public attention than court-martial proceedings but carry consequences every bit as lasting. Attorney Robles handles the full range of military administrative matters, including separation proceedings, bars to reenlistment, security clearance denials and revocations, military record corrections, Article 15 rebuttals, VA claim denials, AWOL and desertion defense, USERRA employment rights violations, and Feres Doctrine issues.

          Criminal Defense Cases — Attorney Nelson Robles

          Massachusetts residents facing criminal charges in the Suffolk County Superior Court, the Middlesex County Superior Court, the Norfolk County Superior Court, the Worcester County Superior Court, or the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts need a defense attorney who treats every case like it’s going to trial. Attorney Robles represents civilians throughout Massachusetts facing:

          Understanding Massachusetts’s Legal Deadlines

          Massachusetts law places firm deadlines on the right to pursue legal action, and missing them can permanently foreclose options that would otherwise have been available.

          For most personal injury claims in Massachusetts, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of injury. Wrongful death claims must generally be filed within three years of the date of death. Medical malpractice claims follow a different timeline and require specific pre-suit procedures.

          For criminal matters, involving defense counsel from the earliest possible stage is one of the most consequential decisions anyone facing a criminal investigation can make.
