The Business of Law – Marketing and Business for Enterprising Attorneys

We awake this morning to very sad news.  United States Senator Edward M. Kennedy passed away last evening at his home in Hyannisport, MA.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kennedy family on the occasion of this devastating loss.

In the coming days there will be many tributes to Senator Kennedy by those who knew him well, and we will rightly reflect on a lifetime of public service dedicated to helping those less fortunate.

While we are a national law firm, we have deep roots in Massachusetts, and we are particularly struck by the loss of Senator Kennedy.  For 30 years, Sokolove Law has dedicated itself to a simple mission: helping those who have been injured understand their legal options and providing them with access to the American civil justice system without regard to income or ethnicity.  Simply put we have worked to improve access to justice for all Americans.

That is a mission and a value that Senator Kennedy not only shared, but to which he dedicated his entire life.  As we reflect on his passing, we are mindful of his unwavering commitment to justice, and his unparalleled commitment to those Americans who have been left behind.

That commitment and the enduring legacy of Senator Kennedy’s work will live on forever.  For those of us who grieve for him today, as he so famously said in 1980, “the work goes on, the cause endures, and the dream shall never die.”
