DOG BITES ATTORNEY IN SHREWSBURY, MASSACHUSETTS
WE FOCUS ON YOUR NEEDS
Properly trained dogs that are well socialized can be wonderful companions. Dogs that are bred to be aggressive, however, such as pit bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds or Doberman pinschers, can cause serious harm to a child or adult if they are not properly trained or cared for. Moreover, beyond the physical injuries, dog bite victims can suffer emotional distress and long-term fear as a result of an animal attack.
At the Law Office of James A. Maniatis, we represent those injured or scarred by dog bites and animal attacks in Worcester and the surrounding areas of Massachusetts. We understand the physical and emotional trauma a dog bite injury can cause and focus our attention solely on meeting your particular needs.
EXPERIENCED SHREWSBURY ATTORNEY FOR ANIMAL BITES AND DOG ATTACKS

Medical treatment such as stitches or surgery
