One firm running personal injury practices in two states, with a $2.5 million motorcycle verdict on record that it calls among the largest of its kind in Massachusetts for 2024, is an unusual thing to find behind a single landing page. That is the headline fact at Semenza Law Firm, which keeps offices at 100 State St in downtown Boston and a second base in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The verdict is not floated as a vague boast either. It sits next to a $3.7 million motor vehicle accident settlement, so a prospective client gets two concrete dollar figures to weigh before they pick up the phone.

Accident cases and injury claims

The bulk of the work is what you would expect from a firm that built its name on accident cases. Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions all fall under the vehicle practice of Semenza Law Firm, and the list keeps going into slip-and-fall claims, on-the-job injuries, and workers' compensation. Medical malpractice and product liability sit alongside wrongful death, dog bites, and assault and battery claims. That is a wide injury practice for a firm of this footprint, and it reads as the caseload a working personal injury shop carries year to year.

Beyond personal injury practice

What surprised me a little is how far Semenza Law Firm reaches past injury law. Beyond the accident docket, the firm also takes social security disability matters, criminal defense, and family law. A practice that handles a divorce and a fatal-crash claim and a disability appeal is casting a broad net, and a reader should read that honestly: it can mean genuine range, or it can mean a generalist stretched across more areas than one bench can cover well. The case results point toward range here, since the figures attached to Semenza Law Firm are injury verdicts, and that is the area where it puts its credibility on the line in public.

Service areas in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania

Geography is handled cleanly. On the Massachusetts side Semenza Law Firm names Boston, Cambridge, Quincy, and Worcester as places it serves, and on the Pennsylvania side it lists Scranton, Allentown, Reading, and Wilkes-Barre. Each state gets its own direct line, which is a practical choice: a Scranton caller is not routed through a Boston switchboard. The firm also says it is reachable around the clock, which for accident work has practical value, because the calls that follow a crash rarely arrive during office hours.

How to reach the firm

Reaching the firm takes no digging. Both phone numbers, a direct email to attorney Stephen Semenza, and the full Boston street address all sit in plain view where someone in a hurry can grab them. There is no hunting through tabs or a form that swallows a message into a void. For a category where the first call often happens from a hospital bed or a tow lot, that openness counts.

Contingency fee structure

Fees run on contingency, which is standard for plaintiff-side injury work but worth saying plainly: a client who cannot pay up front can still bring a claim, and Semenza Law Firm only earns if the case does. That structure does not distinguish it from competitors, since nearly all personal injury firms work this way, but its plain statement on the page spares a worried caller from wondering about a bill before they have even described what happened.

Five-star ratings across multiple platforms

On reputation, the picture across five platforms is consistent. The Boston listing on Birdeye carries 52 reviews at a 5-star rating, and the Scranton listing sits around 55 to 56 reviews, also at five stars. LegalRank shows a 5.0 out of 5 from 53 reviews, AllUsInjuryLawyers reports 5 out of 5 from 54 reviews, and Semenza Law Firm turns up on ProvenExpert as well. The review counts are high enough that the perfect scores carry some credibility instead of resting on a handful of friendly clients, and the spread across unrelated platforms is harder to dismiss than a single aggregator number.

Attorney credentials and peer recognition

The attorney behind the name has a credential to back the numbers too. Stephen Semenza was selected to Super Lawyers Rising Stars in 2019, and Super Lawyers lists him as a top-rated personal injury attorney in Boston. Rising Stars is a peer-and-research recognition aimed at lawyers earlier in their careers, so it is a meaningful nod without being the kind of lifetime laurel that gets overstated. Paired with the verdict figures, it gives Semenza Law Firm two independent reasons to be taken seriously: a third party's recognition and a courtroom result with a number attached.

Where does the documented proof lie?

If there is a fair caution, it is the breadth question raised earlier. A firm that markets injury law, criminal defense, disability, and family law from two states is asking a client to trust that depth holds across all of it. The public evidence, the verdicts and the recognition, lives squarely on the injury side. Someone coming to Semenza Law Firm for a car-crash claim or a workers' compensation dispute is on the firmest ground; someone bringing a family law matter is trusting reach the page does not document with results in the same way. That is not a strike against the firm so much as a note on where its proof actually sits.

Set against a Boston injury heavyweight like Sweeney Merrigan, which advertises far larger headline settlements and a deeper bench of attorneys, Semenza Law Firm is plainly the smaller operation. What it offers in trade is reach across two states from one relationship, direct access to the named attorney rather than an intake team, and a consistent wall of five-star reviews that a bigger shop's volume can dilute. The public record at Semenza Law Firm is concrete enough to make an informed call: strong on injury verdicts, credentialed on the personal injury side, and accessible in a way that a lot of larger firms are not.
