  Not sure what law office to contact? If you would feel comfortable with attorneys who are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, The Law Offices of John C. Farrissey & Associates is the law office that you should contact. Atty. John C. Farrissey and Atty. Jill E. Grochmal, as well as their legal assistants Kelly A. Cabral and Christine A. Martin, are ready to represent and assist you. Often there is No Charge for the first appointment.

Estate Planning and the Administration of Estates are two of the primary areas the firm handles. As many already know, The Law Offices of John C. Farrissey & Associates is located at 942 County Street in Somerset. The location is the former Friendly’s restaurant. The entire building has been beautifully renovated, both outside and inside. The offices are located on the ground floor providing complete handicap accessibility in a comfortable setting with plenty of free, off-street parking.

“Wills, Trusts, Health Care Proxies, Powers of Attorneys, and other Estate Panning documents should be periodically reviewed and updated if necessary,” says Atty. Farrissey. “It is common practice to have periodic medical exams and periodic dental exams. I strongly recommend periodic legal check-ups to make sure your Estate Planning goals will be met.” A family’s situation can change dramatically in a short period of time. Also, many of the laws concerning Estate Planning have undergone dramatic changes. Atty. Farrissey, a member of the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys can tailor a plan that is up-to-date and complies with the current law.

In addition to Estate Planning and the administration of Estates, claims for personal injuries due to automobile accidents and claims for Wrongful Death are the others areas that this experienced team handles. Atty. Farrissey believes that it is important to truly represent a client, not merely process a claim. “At my office, we are concerned with the quality service we provide, rather than the quantity of clients we can attract,” said Atty. Farrissey. “We always strive to maximize recovery.”

Atty. Farrissey’s law practice has been in Somerset since 1981. He is a graduate of Providence College and the New England School of Law in Boston. He is licensed in all Massachusetts Courts, the U.S. Federal Courts in Boston, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He has been an Arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association. Atty.
