Kenyon Legal, P.C. is one of the only law firms in the Commonwealth that focuses its practice on representing Massachusetts’s municipal, county, and public employees in matters related to their pensions. Attorney Kenyon is prepared to help all types of public employees - police officers, firefighters and EMTs, teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, highway department laborers, etc. - obtain the benefits to which they are entitled.

Our state’s public employees perform valuable services for their communities and, in exchange, are entitled to myriad retirement benefits, including accidental or ordinary disability retirement benefits. However, the process for obtaining retirement benefits can be complicated. While our lawmakers have set forth the standards to be eligible for benefits, each of the Commonwealth’s 100+ retirement boards administers their plan differently, and the appellate courts and administrative agencies responsible for overseeing these plans are constantly interpreting and re-interpreting the statutes.

Attorney Kenyon can help you navigate this complicated system, which the Massachusetts Appeals Court has called “notoriously difficult [and] sometimes tortuous.” Evans v. CRAB, 46 Mass. App. Ct. 229, 233 (1999). If you need a lawyer to help prepare and represent you at a retirement board meeting, at a DALA hearing, or in an administrative appeal, call Kenyon Legal, P.C. for a free initial consultation.
