Francis R. Mirkin

"I am fortunate to have many loyal clients that rely on me to assist them with their legal needs. It seems to me that client loyalty is fostered by the dedication of our staff and our shared determination to provide quality work and responsive service. Local community involvement has always been intertwined with my business life. For over twenty (20) years I was very involved with the needs of the American Heart Association. During the last two years, I have played a leadership role in a major fund raising event for Baystate Children's Hospital.

It is this balance of community involvement and professional expertise that helps to make me the best attorney I can be."
