About Dave
Dave Flanagan earned his J.D. from New England Law | Boston in 2003. He completed law school in Boston and moved into practice shortly thereafter. The legal education provided the foundation for a career that blends courtroom work and investigative duties.
He is the principal lawyer at Flanagan & Associates. Over the years he has built a practice that combines traditional legal representation with investigative work. He also holds membership in the Massachusetts Bar and is a licensed private investigator. Those dual credentials inform how he approaches cases.
As a licensed private investigator he has worked on insurance company fraud claims. That role involves fact-gathering, interviews and evidence review. He has applied investigative techniques to verify claims and to uncover discrepancies that affect coverage decisions. The investigative work complements the legal side of his practice rather than replacing it.
Flanagan’s day-to-day work balances client meetings, legal filings and on-the-ground investigations. He prepares pleadings, conducts document review and coordinates with insurance professionals when cases touch on alleged fraud. He spends time in court when litigation requires it and in the field when a matter benefits from direct inquiry.
Colleagues and clients describe him as practical and detail-oriented. He tends to organize cases methodically and to follow up on leads. He favors clear records and documented processes for both legal files and investigative findings. That approach helps when matters move from fact-finding into formal disputes.
Outside of casework he has maintained ties to professional circles in Massachusetts. His membership in the state bar keeps him connected to developments in law practice and rules of professional conduct. His license as a private investigator also requires compliance with regulatory standards and periodic renewal.
He continues to lead Flanagan & Associates and to handle matters that intersect law and investigation. His practice blends legal representation with licensed investigative services, including work on insurance fraud claims. He currently practices at Flanagan & Associates, handling legal matters while also serving as a licensed private investigator for insurance fraud claims.
