We protect and defend responsible dog and pet owners around the country when their rights to keep and own a companion animal are being challenged.
Your pet is a member of your family; a trusted companion and a reliable friend. We are a law firm dedicated to preserving that relationship in the face of legal challenges from animal control officers, angry neighbors or former roommates. For you and your companion animals, we handle: Dangerous dog hearings, Clerk’s hearings, Criminal application hearings, Civil suits, Trials and Appeals.
Our team is of the belief that there are always two sides to a story and we do not rest until we uncover all of the facts that led to a particular incident. Working with experts in a variety of fields we have learned that there are more than 100 factors that can trigger a dog incident. That means there are hundreds of reasons why your dog should not be labeled dangerous, not be punished, not be taken from you and not be destroyed.
While many bright and intelligent people work tirelessly to elevate the legal standing of dogs in our society, we are battling for it every day in your cities and towns. We admire the activists, the shelters, the rescues and the lobbyists. We are not them; they do so much more. Our involvement is on individual cases knowing that each time we are ‘lawyers for the dogs’ we are influencing the debate one tail and four paws at a time.
We understand how important pets are to you and your family. We have a proven track record of saving that friendship. Many pet parents are unaware that specialized attorneys exist.
It’s Time to Hire Boston Dog Lawyers because It’s Time We Bark Back!
Our attorneys represent dog and pet owners when animal control or an annoyed neighbor or a dog bite victim takes out a complaint against them. The allegations can be for a dog off leash to excessive barking to threatening or actual biting. Many of these cases are first heard as part of a local town hearing to establish if the dog is a nuisance or dangerous.
The decisions in these matters can be appealed through many levels of the judicial system. The orders made include labeling the dog dangerous, requiring safeguards like muzzling and even euthanizing the dog.
The problem is that those making the orders sometimes make very poor decisions as they have no foundation in facts. They vote to punish for the wrong reasons and neither met the dog nor evaluated her. They rely on imperfect investigations and tend to want to appease the loudest voices in the room.
We fight to hold them accountable to make decisions using the procedures set in place by the U.S. Constitution. Dog owners have rights to a fair and impartial hearing that provides a meaningful forum to hear allegations, share evidence, confront accusers and defend their interests. We are a firm dedicated to the constitutional rights of dog and pet owners.
Bite victims tend to obtain personal injury lawyers who will try to get them compensation from the dog owner. Some dog owners own homes and those owners usually have homeowners insurance. Most insurers cover dog bite claims and will provide an attorney for you.
Some dog owners do not own homes and do not have liability insurance coverage. Boston Dog Lawyers represents these people to defend against the incoming civil suit for money.
Many Americans now choose to cohabitate with significant others or to have roommates to offset the high cost of rent. With less emphasis now on having children, many of those who live together have pets. At times these human relationships dissolve and the parties have disagreements over who should be able to keep the pet.
Unlike divorcing couples who battle over children, there is no simple formula in the courts to determine who should get to keep the pet.
We thoroughly examine the many aspects of caring for and keeping a pet and fight for your right retain ownership. This may be done in court or as part of a settlement negotiation or mediation. We partner with some of the best pet mediators in New England.
Jeremy represented my dog who was labeled as vicious and dangerous. He did a masterful job of compromising with the court to obtain a judgment that removed the "dangerous" label from one dog.
I saw your video where you mentioned Niko's case in it it was very nice. I'm sorry to say Niko has passed a year ago November. He lived a good life thanks to you. Thanks for everything.
Attorney Jeremy Cohen is a great lawyer and people GET crazy when something happens (like a Lynch mob). Boston Dog Lawyers could save your dogs life! I would recommend him highly.
I spoke with Jeremy when we had an incident with our dog. It was so comforting to speak with him about all our options and knowing that someone was there to fight for us if needed! Thank you for your amazing work and the comfort you brought us!
Great to know about your services and thank you for all the work you do for the voiceless, innocent animals... Your a hero!
I wish I had known about Boston Dog Lawyers 4 yrs ago when I had my incident with my two dogs!
About time, pets have no protection against anything. Humans do tragic things to animals and get a slap on the wrist. Wake up judges please... Your Dog is in good hands with Boston Dog Lawyers.
Boston Dog Lawyers defense of the dog was the hardest fought dog case I have had to face. You just refused to surrender. Good win!
Great initiative - The Massachusetts Dog Bite law is way too extreme! A great staff who knows their stuff and has time to talk/listen to the owners of the dogs.
I just wanted to reach out to you because I think this is a wonderful thing you are doing - to speak up and defend the voiceless and in a lot of cases the wrongfully accused.
Jeremy Cohen, Esq. "Boston Dog Lawyers" won on appeal because Jesse was heard! So happy I selected to use their services for Jesse.
