About

Cloherty & Steinberg LLP was founded in 2023 by attorneys Daniel J. Cloherty and Victoria L. Steinberg.  Danny and Vicky bring together decades of in-depth litigation experience.  They share a belief that it is not only possible, but critical, for legal representation to be consistently client-centered, high-quality, efficient, and effective.  

Clients come to Cloherty & Steinberg LLP with their most valued interests on the line: their jobs, their businesses, their institutional values, or even their liberty.  Clients trust Cloherty & Steinberg LLP because the firm’s attorneys have the experience to win and the compassion to help clients address any legal challenges they may be facing. 

Cloherty & Steinberg LLP prides itself on being:

Client-Centered.  

At Cloherty & Steinberg LLP, our legal work, our professional lives, and the daily operation of the firm are all animated by a commitment to client service.  Every client is different and every case has its own set of facts, challenges and paths.  Cloherty & Steinberg LLP is dedicated to serving each client’s  goals, and always putting their clients’ objectives front and center.  Our clients — including businesses, universities, executives, and employees trust the firm’s attorneys to help them to achieve their aims.  Our successes for clients in the courtroom and behind the scenes keep clients returning whenever critical legal issues arise.  

Committed to Excellence. 

The team at Cloherty & Steinberg LLP is committed to providing clients with the highest quality legal representation in every situation. This includes not only consistently excellent work product, but also responsiveness and clear communication, attention to client needs, and effectiveness aligned with efficiency.  The firm’s attorneys are as practical and creative as they are zealous and determined to win.

Dedicated to Diversity and Inclusion. 

It is a core value of Cloherty & Steinberg LLP to be inclusive and equitable and to work to recognize and address bias and inequity both in the course of client work and within the community more broadly.  Diversity is a source of strength that advances and complements all of the firm’s core values. 

Within the firm and the broader legal community, Cloherty & Steinberg LLP welcomes diversity in all of its forms, including diversity of life experience and perspective.  We are committed to employing individuals  based on their qualifications, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply for any open position.

Deeply Engaged in Public Service and Pro Bono Work.

At Cloherty & Steinberg LLP, we recognize that it is a privilege to be attorneys - a privilege that motivates and obligates us to engage meaningfully in supporting and assisting the communities most impacted by the inequities in the judicial system.  The firm’s practice incorporates a variety of efforts to improve and ensure access to the civil and criminal justice systems, and to guard the legal rights of those historically left behind by structural barriers under law. 

At Cloherty & Steinberg LLP, pro bono work and public service is not an afterthought - it is valued and encouraged as much as any other case.  Attorneys Cloherty and Steinberg have represented on a pro bono basis Boston-area nonprofits and campaigns advocating for LGBTQ+ rights; prisoners’ support networks; centers for local artists; racial justice advocacy groups, and many others.  We are grateful to have the opportunity to provide legal assistance to organizations doing crucial advocacy work in and around Boston.
