Nolan | Perroni, P.C.
Nolan|Perroni, P.C. is a unique law firm with offices North Chelmsford, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. For twenty-five years, NP has advocated for the rights of working people, handling a wide range of legal matters. Over the course of 25 years of practice, our lawyers have developed specialized expertise in the following areas of law: Labor Union representation, Personal Injury Law, and the Full Service Representation of Law Enforcement Professionals.
As the lawyers for more than 100 public and private sector labor union locals, we are very proud to represent thousands of unionized workers throughout New England.
We are also very proud of our record of success in handling significant personal injury cases. For more than 25 years, our lawyers have helped recover millions of dollars for our clients whose lives have been seriously impacted by the negligence of others.
Our legal blog contains reports of many of our public-sector labor cases. We do not post private, personal injury matters. As you will see with a quick glance, we are very active lawyers, and are involved in some of the most high profile labor matters in the region. Whether a case lands on the front page of the newspaper, whether we advocate behind the scenes, or whether it is a more personal, but just as important, legal matter, we look forward to continuing the firm’s legacy of success — one case at a time.
