Burlington personal injury and employment law attorney, Richard Cassidy, has established a new law firm, Rich Cassidy Law, as of November 1, 2016. The new firm represents people, not businesses or institutions. The firm focuses on personal injury litigation and employment law. It represents people who have been injured due to the fault of others and employees in disputes with their employers or former employers.Cassidy explained: “Lots of lawyers take care of businesses and institutions, but not so many focus on individuals. Early in my career, I represented all sides in many kinds of disputes. I simply didn’t find it satisfying to represent insurance companies and big businesses. Business must pay attention to the bottom line. But many companies don’t seem to care about anything else. They just want to resolve claims as cheaply as they can. For them, peoples’ troubles are just balance sheet issues. Serving that narrow way of seeing the world is not how I want to spend my life. My colleague, Matt Shagam, and I work for individuals who need our help.” Cassidy also works as mediator, and mediated the $35 million dollar Burlington Telecom dispute between Citi Bank, N.A. and the City of BurlingtonThe firm is located in Suite 3, on the second floor at 100 Main Street in Burlington.
