Across a practice that has run for more than 25 years, David J. Rhein has tried and settled cases on behalf of Fortune 500 companies and nationwide manufacturers alongside cases for injured workers and accident victims, an unusually wide client base that has produced fluency on both sides of civil litigation. That dual perspective, arguing for large institutional defendants and for individual plaintiffs in the same career, informs how the firm evaluates claims and anticipates the strategies of opposing counsel. The office is located at 747 Main Street, Suite 129, Concord, Massachusetts, directly across from Emerson Hospital and within two miles of the historic Concord center, with free parking available and proximity to public transportation. The phone number is 978-371-7000. Attorney Rhein holds licenses in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, allowing the firm to handle cases in either state without referring clients to another practitioner.
The physical location is worth noting for injured clients specifically. Sitting across from Emerson Hospital means that people who have recently been discharged or who are visiting medical providers in the area have immediate access to legal consultation without a significant detour. For workers’ compensation claimants or accident victims still in the treatment phase, that convenience is meaningful.
Practice Areas
The Law Office of David J. Rhein, LLC handles civil litigation, personal injury, workers’ compensation, landlord/tenant disputes, real estate matters, juvenile law, and family law. The breadth of the practice reflects the firm’s history handling matters for both institutional and individual clients across two states.
Civil Litigation: Civil litigation encompasses the full range of disputes that reach the courts, from contract disagreements to property disputes to liability claims. David Rhein’s experience trying and settling cases for Fortune 500 companies and major manufacturers means he is comfortable in court and familiar with the procedural demands of litigation at scale.
Personal Injury: Accident victims who have sustained injuries due to someone else’s negligence may have claims for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. The firm evaluates the facts, identifies the applicable insurance coverage, and pursues recovery through negotiation or litigation. Personal injury cases can arise from car accidents, slip and fall incidents, defective products, and many other circumstances.
Workers’ Compensation: Massachusetts and New Hampshire both require most employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. An injured worker may be entitled to medical benefits, temporary total disability payments, and other benefits, but the process of securing those benefits is often contested by employers and their insurers. The firm assists injured workers in navigating the claims process and pursuing the full benefits available under the law.
Landlord/Tenant Disputes: Disputes between property owners and tenants involve lease interpretation, security deposit law, eviction procedure, habitability standards, and other issues governed by state law. Both landlords and tenants need competent representation when disputes escalate to litigation, and the firm handles these matters in Massachusetts and New Hampshire courts.
Real Estate Matters: Real estate transactions and disputes involve title issues, purchase and sale agreement disputes, boundary disagreements, easement conflicts, and other property-related legal questions. The firm handles both transactional and litigation aspects of real estate law.
Juvenile Law: Matters involving minors in the court system require specialized knowledge of juvenile court procedures and the legal standards that apply to proceedings involving children. The firm handles these cases with the specific attention that juvenile matters require.
Family Law: Family law encompasses divorce, child custody and support, alimony, and related matters. These cases often involve the intersection of financial and parenting issues, and they require an attorney who can handle both the legal strategy and the personal dimensions of family disputes.
Attorney Profiles
David J. Rhein has practiced law for more than 25 years, with a career that spans both corporate and individual client representation. His experience trying cases for Fortune 500 companies and nationwide manufacturers is unusual for an attorney who also regularly represents injured workers and accident victims. That range creates a litigation perspective that is not limited to one side’s framing of a dispute.
Licensed in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Rhein handles cases in courts across both states. His office’s location in Concord, Massachusetts, positions him effectively for matters in Middlesex County and the surrounding area, while his New Hampshire license extends the reach northward.
The firm’s location across from Emerson Hospital in Concord reflects practical geographic positioning. Clients dealing with ongoing medical treatment can consult with legal counsel in close proximity to their medical providers, reducing the logistical burden of managing an injury case alongside a treatment schedule.
Location and Service Area
The Law Office of David J. Rhein, LLC is located at 747 Main Street, Suite 129, Concord, Massachusetts. The office sits directly across from Emerson Hospital, within two miles of the historic Concord center, with ample free parking and access to public transportation. The phone number is 978-371-7000.
The firm handles cases in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Attorney Rhein holds active licenses in both states. For clients in the Concord, Massachusetts area, the office location is central and accessible. For clients in New Hampshire, the firm extends its reach northward across the state line without requiring referral to separate counsel.
Massachusetts civil courts, workers’ compensation tribunals, and family courts each have their own procedural rules and timelines. New Hampshire adds a second jurisdiction with its own distinct procedures. The firm’s experience in both states allows for consistent representation regardless of which state’s courts have jurisdiction over a given matter.
Client Focus
The Law Office of David J. Rhein, LLC serves both individual and business clients. On the individual side, the firm’s personal injury and workers’ compensation practice focuses on people who have been hurt through no fault of their own and are dealing with the financial and physical consequences of injury. Workers navigating the Massachusetts or New Hampshire workers’ compensation systems often find the process more adversarial than expected, with employers and insurers contesting claims that appear straightforward. Having an attorney familiar with both state systems is a practical advantage.
Family law clients face a different kind of difficulty: the legal process of ending a marriage or resolving custody disputes intersects with emotional stress, financial uncertainty, and in many cases, the interests of children. The firm handles these matters with attention to both the legal strategy and the human stakes involved.
Business clients and property owners dealing with landlord/tenant disputes or real estate litigation need an attorney who can assess the legal exposure clearly and pursue an efficient resolution. The firm’s experience on the institutional side of civil litigation informs how it handles disputes involving property and business interests.
Juvenile law matters involve a population that requires careful attention to procedural rights and the specific legal standards governing proceedings involving minors. The firm brings the same level of preparation to these matters that it applies across the broader practice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the firm handle cases in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire?
Yes. David J. Rhein holds licenses in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The firm handles cases in courts across both states, which means a client whose matter involves either or both jurisdictions does not need to find separate counsel.
What should a worker do immediately after a workplace injury in Massachusetts?
Report the injury to your employer as soon as possible and seek medical attention. Under Massachusetts law, you are generally required to notify your employer of a workplace injury within a specified period to preserve your workers’ compensation rights. An attorney can help you understand the reporting requirements and ensure that your claim is filed correctly before any deadlines pass.
How does personal injury litigation typically proceed?
Most personal injury cases begin with the attorney investigating the facts, gathering medical records, and making a demand to the responsible party’s insurance company. Many cases resolve through negotiation before any court filing. When a fair settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to litigation, which includes discovery, potential mediation, and ultimately trial if the matter is not resolved beforehand. The timeline varies significantly depending on the complexity of the case and the willingness of the insurer to negotiate reasonably.
What is involved in a real estate dispute?
Real estate disputes can involve contract interpretation, boundary questions, title defects, easement disagreements, or landlord/tenant issues that have escalated beyond informal resolution. The firm evaluates the specific facts, reviews the relevant documents, and advises on whether litigation or negotiated resolution is the appropriate path given the circumstances.
Does the firm handle family law cases involving children?
Yes. Family law cases involving child custody and support are a regular part of the practice. The firm handles both the legal mechanics of custody agreements and the contested cases where parents cannot agree and the court must resolve the matter.
Closing
What distinguishes the Law Office of David J. Rhein, LLC from many plaintiff-side personal injury practices is the depth of litigation experience on both sides of the courtroom.

That knowledge travels with him into every plaintiff case. Combined with dual licensure in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, a location that serves the Concord area directly and extends throughout both states, and a practice broad enough to handle everything from workers’ compensation to juvenile law, the firm offers individual clients access to litigation experience that is typically found only at larger practices.
