you with a better understanding and protection of your rights.  For over 20 years, Mr. Ballin has specialized in recovering
valuable compensation for injured officers in a variety of settings including collisions, foot chases, struggles, domestic

            Mass C.O.P. receives no financial benefit from Attorney Steven Ballin, or from injured officers who utilize his services.
Mass C.O.P. believes it is important for every officer to learn about their legal right to additional compensation when injured on
duty, as well as how to protect those rights now and in the future.  These claims can compensate an injured officer for lost
earnings which they depended on from working overtime, details and second jobs, pain and suffering, disabilities, scarring,
and for the aggravation of having to return to work in an injured condition. Below you will learn about your legal right to receive
additional compensation, and examples of successful cases brought on behalf of other officers.
