Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. The MBA past presidents

Counsel of the largest statewide bar association for more than 20
years, Healy is one of 81 on the roster of the state's most
influential attorneys. He was named "the person to see" about

Yas, publisher of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. "With his
professional, likable style, Marty has built a countless number of
