General Litigation
A legal dispute can be extremely costly. While it is obvious that losing a lawsuit will result in significant financial losses, the fact is that even a winning case, if not handled properly, can also be prohibitively expensive for individuals and businesses. It is important to work with a firm you trust to win your case and to do it as efficiently as possible.
We are experienced, aggressive trial lawyers who fight to get results for our clients while always keeping our eye on the bottom line. Since 1950, we have built a strong reputation of successful litigation.

Debt Collection
Our attorneys have extensive experience collecting debts in state and federal courts, for both individuals and businesses. They have collected debts ranging in size from a few thousand to a few million dollars, and they have done it in an ethical and efficient manner. They know how to obtain prejudgment relief such as the attaching of a defendant’s bank account or real property.
Our attorneys also have extensive experience in all phases of litigation and will see a case all the way through to a trial if one is necessary to obtain a judgment against the debtor. Often, obtaining a judgment is only the first step in satisfying a debt – our attorneys know how to garnish a defendant’s wages; to reach and apply assets in the hands of third parties to satisfy a judgment; and to conduct post-judgment discovery and supplementary process. They have even domesticated judgments from other jurisdictions in Massachusetts.
It must be noted that the firm’s services are not limited to the collection of debts – we also represent defendants who believe that they do not owe a debt that someone else is seeking to collect. So if you have been sued by a creditor, you should also contact our firm for the best advice on how to defend the claim.

Insurance Disputes
Insurance companies wrongly deny claims all the time. While it may not be ethical, it is profitable, because a lot of people accept their denied claim and move forward. Do not let an insurance company take advantage of you and your family. An experienced lawyer can help you fight back. For more than 60 years, the attorneys of Dardeno LLP have been successfully fighting insurance companies and protecting consumers.

Consumer Fraud
In Massachusetts, M.G.L. c. 93A protects the rights of consumers in many situations, not just those who purchase insurance. If you are being taken advantage of by any business, you have rights that are protected under this law. We make sure businesses and insurance companies live up to their responsibilities to consumers and other businesses. Ready to battle insurance companies or financial institutions, we will not fold at the first sign of struggle. We have developed strong tactics after years of these tough cases.
