About Jennifer H. Diggles
As a young attorney, I am privileged to work with Attorney Joseph Bernard and the other experienced attorneys in our office. We are deeply dedicated to each client and their personal story, which is why we pursue all possible defenses in every case rather than leading clients to quick pleas. Our office is at the forefront of challenges to breath and blood testing and the admissibility of those tests in OUI cases in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor’s degree from University of Texas El Paso and a Master’s degree in Addiction Studies from the University of South Dakota. I then pursued my J.D. and graduated magna cum laude from Western New England University School of Law. I am admitted to the Bar in Massachusetts

See Generally Session 8 of...

Written by Jonathan Dichter The Heart of Client Care: Moving Beyond Case Management In the legal profession, we often talk about "case management" - the systems and processes that keep our cases moving efficiently. But what about *client care*? True client care goes beyond deadlines and filings; it's about treating clients as *people*-scared, uncertain, and in need of guidance. And when done...
