About Dane Shulman Associates
Dane Shulman Associates works from Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan and names five attorneys. It handles injury cases on a contingency basis and says a first conversation costs nothing.
112 reviews at 4.0, the lowest average in this ranking, across a listing small enough that a handful of reviews would move it. Pillar C reads both the count and the rating against the rest of the market rather than either on its own.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Verified 2026
Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.
No public discipline
No attorney this firm names appears as the respondent in any of the 168 published discipline decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts on the discipline of attorneys, on the recommendation of the Board of Bar Overseers, 1975 to 2025. Published decisions record what has been decided, so this covers a disbarment or suspension on the record and not whether a registration is current today.

G1 LicensureNot published by MAMassachusetts does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.

G3 Entity & officeNot published by MA1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. Massachusetts publishes no business register we can query. The Secretary of the Commonwealth's corporate search answers a request for its robots file with a 403 and its search page with a redirect loop, and the state runs no open data portal carrying the register. This is a limit of the published record and not something the firm can change.
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 5 named attorneys published.

The firm’s people the firm names its people without saying who among them practises law · 5 more people are named by the firm without a role, so we do not call them attorneys
Also named by the firm
The firm lists these people among its team and prints no role beside the names, so we do not describe them as attorneys.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Dane Shulman Associates charge?
Dane Shulman Associates publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Dane Shulman Associates offer a free consultation?
Yes. Dane Shulman Associates publishes a free initial consultation.
Where does Dane Shulman Associates have offices?
Dane Shulman Associates publishes one office, in Boston. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Dane Shulman Associates?
Dane Shulman Associates names five attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: Massachusetts does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results Dane Shulman Associates publishes verified?
No. Dane Shulman Associates publishes eight case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Dane Shulman Associates?
Dane Shulman Associates scores 39 and sits at Verified. Passed: discipline, website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
