Massachusetts Attorney James D. Corbo
Attorney James D. Corbo's legal career has been dedicated to advocating for those in need. He is a 1997 cum laude graduate of Suffolk University Law School in Boston, where he made dean's list every semester for his entire three years. His law school internships included the Legal Services Center in Jamaica Plan in the SSI SSDI unit, the General Counsel's Office at New England Medical Center, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Department of Transitional Assistance, and the Civil Division of the United State's Attorney's Office in Boston. During his third year of law school, he defended indigent persons charged with crimes in the Somerville District Court, as a Rule 3:03 student defender with the Suffolk Voluntary Defenders Program. While a second year student in 1996, he co-founded the Suffolk Public Interest Law Group to provide grant money to Suffolk Law students seeking careers in public service. Upon graduation in May of 1997, he accepted a year-long judicial clerkship with the Massachusetts Juvenile Court. As a law clerk, he assisted Massachusetts Juvenile Court judges around the state with the drafting of court decisions and legal research and writing.
Attorney Corbo was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1997 and he was subsequently admitted to the bar of the Massachusetts United States District Court and the bar of the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
Attorney Corbo then worked as an associate at Bardouille and Fugate, an African-American owned criminal and civil litigation law firm located in Lynn, Massachusetts. He handled criminal defense and juvenile law matters; auto accident and other personal injury cases; family law matters including divorce, child support, child custody, and guardianship matters; landlord / tenant matters; real estate closings, and general civil litigation, including contract actions.
In 2000, he opened his current law firm, first in Lynn, then at its current location in Braintree.
Attorney Corbo also worked for one year as a United States Probation Officer in the Presentence Investigation Unit of the United States Probation Office in Boston, where he conducted and wrote fifty presentence reports for federal judges.
He earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Sociology, cum laude, from Brandeis University in May of 1993. While at Brandeis, he was active in several school and community activities while working two different jobs, one as a mental health counselor at a residential program, and another as an operations associate in the Intensive Care Units of Massachusetts General Hospital. Prior to that, he served as a City Year corps member from 1990 to 1991, where he implemented a violence prevention program in the Boston Public Schools.
