About Neil
Neil Sugarman earned his J.D. from Boston University in 1965 after completing a B.A. at Northeastern University in 1962. Those early academic years laid the groundwork for a long career centered in Massachusetts courts. He has been involved in the state's legal community for decades.
After law school Sugarman established himself in private practice and eventually became principal of Sugarman & Sugarman, P.C. Over the years he has taken cases into Massachusetts state courts, the United States District Court for Massachusetts, and has handled matters that reached the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. His practice record reflects steady work in litigation across trial and appellate settings.
Sugarman maintains memberships in a broad range of professional organizations. He is a member of the Boston Bar Association, the Middlesex Bar Association and the Norfolk Bar Association. He also belongs to the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Foundation, and national groups including the American Bar Association and the American Association for Justice. His affiliations extend to trial-focused organizations as well: he holds membership in the Massachusetts Trial Lawyers Association, the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers and the American Board of Trial Advocates.
Those memberships mirror a practice centered on courtroom work. He has handled civil litigation matters in both state and federal venues, and has experience on appeal in the First Circuit. Colleagues describe him as an experienced courtroom lawyer who has balanced trial work with the procedural demands of appellate advocacy. He brings experience managing litigation through discovery and trial phases and presenting arguments on appeal when cases require that step.
For many years Sugarman has guided the work of his firm while also remaining directly engaged in client matters. As principal at Sugarman & Sugarman, P.C. he continues to accept cases that require trial representation and appellate briefing. He remains active in professional associations and in practice before Massachusetts state and federal courts.
He currently practices at Sugarman & Sugarman, P.C., handling civil litigation matters in Massachusetts state and federal courts.
