Edward A. Prisby
I am the founder of Prisby Law, a plaintiff-side civil litigator based in Everett with nearly 25 years of trial experience. I began my career in 2002 on the insurance defense side, trying cases for insurers and corporate defendants. That experience now informs every plaintiff's case I handle, since I understand how the other side evaluates risk and prepares for trial. I hold a Juris Doctor degree, maintain active bar membership, and regularly complete continuing legal education in civil litigation. I am also a member of the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys. Clients who hire me work directly with the lawyer who will stand up in court for them, between first meeting and final resolution.

Civil Litigation Focused on High‑Stakes Injury and Liability Matters
My practice centers on complex personal injury and liability disputes, including motor vehicle crashes, premises liability incidents, and catastrophic pedestrian, bicycle, and wrongful death cases. These matters often involve Massachusetts‑specific rules such as PIP, the Section 6D tort threshold, and comparative negligence, all of which shape how claims proceed and how liability is evaluated.
Nearly 25 Years of Trial Work Informing Every Case Effectively
I began my career in 2002 as an insurance‑defense attorney before transitioning to plaintiff‑side litigation. That background provides a detailed understanding of how claims are evaluated, negotiated, and tried. As a single‑lawyer practice, clients work directly with me throughout the litigation process, supported by the judgment, preparation, and courtroom experience developed over decades of civil trial work.
Direct Communication, Clear Expectations, and Practical Guidance
Clients receive straightforward explanations of each stage of litigation, with virtual and after‑hours meetings available when needed. Fee structures, risks, and timelines are discussed openly so decisions can be made with clarity. All communication and case materials follow Massachusetts advertising and ethics rules, emphasizing accuracy, transparency, and realistic expectations rather than promotional language.
