After an accident, organizing paperwork may involve more than medical bills and insurance letters. An injured person may also have questions about tax preparation, an IRS notice, a filing deadline, a return, or whether a payment or expense relates to a deduction. Law Office of John J. Sheehan, LLC is listed in Boston under General Personal Injury, not as a tax-preparation provider. Its published injury-law information can help someone prepare for a legal intake conversation, while tax-specific questions should be identified separately rather than answered from a law-office listing.
Match the incident to the firm’s published injury categories
The firm’s official website lists auto, car, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents among its practice areas. It also identifies workers’ compensation matters involving disability issues, lump-sum questions, appeals, and third-party claims. Construction-accident topics include falls from heights, trench accidents, electrical shock, defective machinery, fires and explosions, and struck-by-object injuries. The site further mentions workplace injuries, wrongful death, slip-and-fall matters, and serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, burns, amputations, and vision loss.
These categories can help a prospective client describe the event, but they do not establish that the office accepts every matter. Before making a call, write down what happened, when and where it occurred, who may have been involved, and whether an employer, insurer, property owner, or another party has already been contacted. If the incident has created an IRS, filing, return, or deduction question, list that as a separate issue so it is not confused with the injury claim itself.
Build one record for the legal intake and another for tax questions
A concise timeline can make the first conversation more useful. Include the incident date and location, symptoms or diagnosed injuries, medical visits, missed work, communications with insurers or employers, and any reports or photographs. Gather bills, wage records, insurance correspondence, and notices in one folder. Keep original files unchanged, and mark any deadline printed on a letter so it can be raised during intake.
Tax preparation may require a different set of records, including income documents, prior returns, payment information, and notices from the IRS. Do not assume that an injury-related payment automatically belongs on a particular return, qualifies for a deduction, or has no filing consequence. The law office’s published practice areas do not by themselves answer those tax questions. A person can bring the relevant documents to a qualified tax professional while asking the injury attorney how the legal claim and related records should be coordinated.
Verify the Boston office before sending sensitive records
The current business record places the office at 10 Tremont St Suite 309, Boston, MA 02108, reports a 4.9 rating from 113 reviewers, and lists (617) 675-4623. The firm’s official contact page displays the Boston address as 10 Tremont St. Suite 309 and shows (617) 925-6407 for that office. Because the phone numbers differ, verify the current preferred intake number through the official website before sending medical records, an insurance file, an IRS notice, or identification.
The official page also identifies a Wakefield office and says consultations and meetings can take place through Zoom or teleconference. It adds that, when necessary, the firm may meet someone at home or in a hospital. Those details may matter when treatment, work, mobility, or transportation makes an office visit difficult, but they do not guarantee availability or acceptance of a particular case.
Clarify fees, deadlines, and who handles each question
The official contact page advertises a free consultation and states “No Fee Unless We Win.” Those published statements are not a substitute for a written fee agreement. Ask whether the arrangement is contingent, which case expenses may be separate, how costs are advanced or reimbursed, and what happens if the matter does not succeed. Review the exact terms before signing.
During the same inquiry, confirm who will review the matter, whether the office handles the relevant jurisdiction, what documents are needed, and how communications will occur. Ask the legal team about claim deadlines and injury-related records; ask a qualified tax professional about IRS notices, filing requirements, return treatment, and possible deductions. A 4.9 rating from 113 reviewers can help identify the listing, but reviews do not establish tax expertise, legal fit, or the likely value of a claim.
Use the listing to organize a careful next step
Law Office of John J. Sheehan, LLC presents a Boston location and a broad personal-injury practice menu. Someone considering the firm can confirm current contact information, case acceptance, consultation format, jurisdiction, and written fee terms directly. Separately organizing tax preparation, IRS, filing, return, and deduction questions helps keep legal and tax advice in the right place. Online research can prepare the questions, but it cannot replace an individualized legal or tax review.
