Dr. Ronald B. Standler
attorney in Massachusetts
I am licensed to practice law only in Massachusetts, including all
state and federal courts in Massachusetts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Therefore, I can provide legal advice to you only if either:
- you live in Massachusetts and need legal advice about a problem or transaction in Massachusetts,
- your local attorney hires me as a consultant, or
- you live outside the USA and are interested in:
- law in Massachusetts USA,
- drafting or reviewing contracts with companies in Massachusetts,
- copyright law in the USA, or
- safety standards for products.
If you are seeking an attorney in a state other than Massachusetts, please
see my hints
for how to find an attorney, as statutes regulating the practice of law
prohibit my providing legal advice to people outside of Massachusetts.

My services
I have not been certified as a specialist in any area of law.
I work in the following areas of law that are mostly related to my 16 years
of research or teaching experience in science and engineering after I earned my Ph.D. degree
in physics.
My desire and focus is to help you avoid expensive and slow litigation,
generally by informing you of your legal rights and pitfalls to avoid,
by letting you negotiate your own contracts, and then by carefully writing a custom
contract to record your agreement.
Computer & Technology Law
I have programmed computers since 1968, I earned a Ph.D. in physics in 1977, and
I was engaged in scientific and engineering research
and development during 1977-93, which gives me technical insight in
computer & technology law.
Sometimes you need more than an attorney to solve a legal problem with technology!
Education law
In part because I was a full-time student in universities for 13 years
and a professor for another 10 years, I help solve legal problems
that occur in academic work in colleges and universities.
Copyright Law
As an author, I know the skill and intellectual labor that is required to produce
good writing. Copyright law helps to protect
and reward an author's work.
Consulting with litigators in torts
I have a separate webpage on my skills in consulting with
litigators on scientific evidence in torts,
and my legal research skills.
See my separate list of topics.
Amicus Briefs
I am also interested in writing amicus briefs.

Contact:
Please do not send details of your problem to me
until after I have determined that I do not have a conflict of interest.
In your initial inquiry, please give me your full name, mailing address,
and — if you want me to call you — telephone number.
(Strangely, most people who sent their
legal question to me via e-mail omitted these details, until I began asking.
I disclose my true name and mailing address to you and
it is only fair that you do the same to me.)
