About Michael J
Michael J Baldassarre is an attorney admitted to practice in Massachusetts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He maintains a solo practice under the name Law Office of Michael J. Baldassarre. He handles matters that arise in state courts and in federal appellate proceedings, and he represents clients out of his private office.
Over the years he has worked on a range of legal matters that require both trial-level and appellate attention. He appears in Massachusetts courts and has experience filing and arguing briefs in the First Circuit. That dual practice—state and federal—shapes how he approaches each case. He pays attention to procedure and timing, since deadlines in state court differ from those in federal appeals.
His professional activities include membership in several bar and legal associations. He holds current memberships that connect him to colleagues across practice areas and to ongoing legal developments. Those affiliations provide access to continuing legal education and to forums where practitioners discuss appellate practice and trial techniques.
The Law Office of Michael J. Baldassarre serves as the base for his client work. Operating a small office allows him to manage files personally and to control the workflow on appeals and trial matters. Clients meet directly with him rather than being routed through layers of staff. He prepares briefs, handles oral argument when required, and manages filings in both state and federal courts.
Peers and clients describe him as methodical in preparing records and attentive to appellate standards. He emphasizes clear writing, careful citation, and a practical view of what a judge or panel will need to rule. That practical sensibility extends to early case assessment, where he evaluates whether to pursue a trial strategy, settlement, or appeal based on the record and the governing law.
Today he practices from the Law Office of Michael J. Baldassarre and continues to represent clients in matters arising in Massachusetts courts and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.
