Solonge El-Hachem, Esq.

“We are not defined by our obstacles, but rather, how we overcome them.”

I joined LaBovick Law Group at the start of 2024 as an Associate Attorney handling Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Claims and Plaintiff’s Personal Injury Claims for our Massachusetts Division.  Since then, I have helped numerous Medical Providers and Injured Persons achieve successful outcomes in seeking benefit reimbursements from Insurance Carriers throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  There is nothing more rewarding as an attorney than seeing favorable results and the lasting impressions those results have on my clients.

My path to becoming an attorney was not a traditional one, although it was always my dream career.  After high school, I took a detour from undergraduate life to join the everyday workforce.  I became a career paralegal garnering experience in a wide range of practice areas, all while attending undergrad at Suffolk University.  Each area dealt with the aspect of providing assistance to a client who found themselves in a situation of need.  From giving clients support in family law matters, a client’s road to legal immigration status, defending a client’s rights under the criminal justice system, to helping injured persons make up for the wrong that was perpetrated against them; I was able to contribute to these clients’ lives through my years as a paralegal.  To which, I am grateful.

Ultimately, I made the decision to enroll in law school in the night program offered at The Massachusetts School of Law, at Andover, while I worked my full-time job during the day.  It was the best decision I ever made.  Becoming an attorney, and joining LaBovick Law Group, has allowed me to personally guide and make a positive impact on my clients’ lives.  Which to me is what being a lawyer is all about.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.

As soon as she entered the room she slipped on a newly mopped floor without any wet floor sign present. The floor was so wet that Georgia’s entire outfit was soaked. Because of the muted tile floor, the water was invisible. Georgia needed a back operation which was unsuccessful and caused her to slip into a coma. She luckily survived.
