About Robert
Robert Simonian is a partner at Bucacci And Simonian, P.C., where he has practiced since the mid-1990s. He earned his J.D. from Southern New England School of Law in 1995 after completing a B.A. in Labor Studies at Rhode Island College in 1989. Those early academic choices shaped a career grounded in courtroom procedure and practical problem solving.
He moved into private practice quickly. By 1996 he was a partner at the firm that bears his name. His work includes appearances in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts and practice before state courts in Massachusetts. Over three decades in practice have exposed him to a wide range of bankruptcy and insolvency issues, from case administration to creditor representation.
Simonian maintains professional affiliations that reflect his practice interests and community ties. He is a fellow of the National Academy of Bankruptcy Lawyers, a member of the American Bar Association and the Fall River Bar Association, and a volunteer with the Southeastern Legal Assistance Corp. He also holds a Notary Public commission in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Colleagues describe him as steady in court and straightforward at the negotiating table. He handles procedural filings and hearings, counsels clients on repayment and restructuring options, and works through the administrative side of insolvency cases. The routine can be technical. He pays attention to deadlines and to the details creditors and debtors rely on when cases become contested.
Outside the courtroom, Simonian’s volunteer work ties him to local legal aid efforts. That involvement gives him perspective on how bankruptcy law affects individuals as well as commercial entities. It also keeps him connected to practitioners and organizations across the region who handle consumer and small business matters.
He has kept his practice local while engaging with national professional groups that focus on bankruptcy law. His long association with the same firm has made him familiar to judges and court clerks in the District, and it has allowed him to steady cases through procedural turns that can unsettle less experienced counsel.
In his current practice at Bucacci And Simonian, P.C., Simonian handles matters in Massachusetts courts and appears regularly in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, focusing on bankruptcy and related insolvency proceedings.
