Revised Medical Standards

Because of a lawsuit which Attorneys Brian E. Simoneau and Timothy M. Burke recently filed against the Human Resources Division, HRD has revised their Regulations for the Initial Medical and Physical Fitness Standards for Municipal Public Safety Personnel. The revisions focused on the diabetes mellitus category under the endocrine and metabolic system for police officer candidates. Prior to the revisions, candidates who used insulin pumps were automatically disqualified. Now, candidates with insulin pumps will be evaluated on a case-by case basis.

Police Legal Defense

Attorney Timothy M. Burke is offering a Legal Defense Service to Massachusetts Police Officers. This service includes 24 hour emergency response to the scene of any line of duty critical incident. Given the nature of police work, and the litigious nature of our society, having an experienced attorney such as Mr. Burke not only "on retainer" but also "on-call" is absolutely indispensable. A practicing lawyer since 1974, Attorney Burke has successfully defended a number of police officers in both criminal and civil cases. Contact Attorney Burke's office at 781-455-0707 or click here for more information.

Appeals Court Vacates Restraining Order Issued Against Police Officer

Attorney Simoneau recently reversed a District Court Judge's decision to grant a G.L. c. 209A restraining order against a police officer.  In addition to convincing a District Court Judge to discontinue the order at the one-year hearing, over the plaintiff's strenuous objection, Attorney Simoneau persuaded the Massachusetts Appeals Court to vacate the original order.
