Speakers

Jeremy M. Carroll

Principal with Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P.C., in Boston, MA

Mr. Carroll joined Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, as a principal (partner) in 2022. Mr. Carroll is dedicated to representing clients who have been severely injured in events that “never should have happened” because another person or company violated a known safety rule. He focuses his practice on representing people injured in construction site accidents, wrongful death cases, premises liability, medical malpractice, and motor vehicle collisions.

In 2019, Mr. Carroll, as lead trial counsel, successfully obtained a jury trial verdict of $925,000 on behalf of his client, a construction worker who fell ten feet and crushed his heel bone when a subcontractor failed to install safety guardrails. He has tried, settled, mediated, and arbitrated many cases with substantial six-figure and seven-figure results for his clients.

Mr. Carroll was selected to the list of Massachusetts “Rising Stars” for 2019-2021, and to the list of MA Super Lawyers for 2022-2024. He is a member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ), as well as the Massachusetts Bar Association (MBA), and Boston Bar Association (BBA). He also serves on the Board of Governors for the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (MATA).

Prior to joining Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, Mr. Carroll spent years litigating personal injury and criminal cases, learning from excellent mentors and colleagues. He gained invaluable courtroom experience immediately after law school when he served as a public defender for the Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) in Brockton, Massachusetts.

Pedro Juarez

Attorney with Diller Law, LLP, in Boston, MA

Mr. Juarez is a dedicated personal injury attorney with a deep commitment to justice, driven by his own life experiences. Growing up in challenging circumstances, he developed resilience and a strong sense of fairness. These values now guide his unwavering dedication to advocating for his clients and ensuring their voices are heard in the fight for justice.

As a proud officer in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, Mr. Juarez brings the discipline, loyalty, and selflessness cultivated through military service into his legal practice. Army values—loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage—shape his approach to every case, offering clients not only skilled legal representation but also steadfast support in difficult times.

Before pursuing law, Mr. Juarez worked for years as an insurance adjuster, investigator, and supervisor. This insider experience has given him a unique understanding of how insurers operate, allowing him to craft strategies that anticipate their tactics and maximize results for his clients. Mr. Juarez leverages his knowledge of the claims process to ensure that insurance companies are held accountable.

Mr. Juarez’s strong work ethic, instilled by his parents, drives him to go above and beyond for his clients. Whether advocating for an injured person or navigating complex legal challenges, he approaches every case with focus, determination, and care. His ties to the local community and his role as a National Guard officer deepen his commitment to serving others and making a meaningful impact in their lives.

Dr. R. John Naranja Jr.

Attorney with Diller Law, LLP, in Boston, MA

Dr. Naranja occupies a special niche that few practicing attorneys possess—being both a doctor and a lawyer. The ability to quickly and competently navigate both the medical and legal sides of a case provides an advantage that few firms can offer.

In particular, Dr. Naranja’s journey in becoming a lawyer at Diller Law reveals the core values clients seek for their legal representation. Growing up, Dr. Naranja was strongly influenced by his mother and father, both physicians who emigrated from the Philippines. The idea of helping those who have been injured became a passion that led to the pursuit of medicine and ultimately becoming a physician.

After obtaining his medical degree at Georgetown University and completing an orthopedic residency at the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Naranja served as an officer and orthopedic surgeon in the United States Air Force. He received his honorable discharge in 2001. He later developed an active practice that included treating patients who sustained orthopedic trauma, degenerative conditions, occupational impairments and sports-related injuries. Dr. Naranja established himself as an expert through multiple publications related to orthopedic injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.

Dr. Naranja then chose to pursue the practice of law. He obtained his law degree at Northeastern University, where he excelled and won multiple law school competitions. He then joined the Diller Law firm as an extension of his passion to help those who have become injured.

Throughout his time at Diller Law, Dr. Naranja has distinguished himself as a passionate advocate for those who have been injured. Both lawyers and medical providers consult Dr. Naranja. Safety and justice in this realm requires an intimate understanding not only of the legal rules that are part of the community, but also an appreciation for the effects, seen and unseen, which victims encounter from unsafe practices. Dr. Naranja is uniquely positioned to meet these needs.
