John Yasi has been a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association since 1990. Since that time he has been in partnership with his brother attorney Paul Yasi. Together they have built a practice in Salem Massachusetts which concentrates on civil litigation and class action lawsuits.

Specifically John has been representing plaintiffs in various personal injury cases for almost 20 years. A significant portion of that practice involves representing persons who are injured in auto accidents.

Early on in his practice John made it a point to endeavor to make sure that the injured victims whom he represented were able to get all of their medical bills paid by the auto insurance company who had promised to do so in connection with the insurance policy.

His success in this regard ultimately was the genesis of PIP Collect. Very simply, the same legitimate, but aggressive, litigation tactics which have been so successful in convincing auto insurance companies to pay disputed medical bills has now been applied to collecting medical bills, not only for the injured victims whom he represents, but also for healthcare providers who have the identical problem with insurance companies who insure their patients.

The class action aspect of John's law practice involves primarily disputes with various insurance companies which are common to persons whom he has represented in connection with injury cases over the years. Presently John is in the process of settling a class action lawsuit which he filed against several of the major Massachusetts auto insurers regarding their systemic refusal to pay his clients the interest they were due following arbitration awards. The filing of the lawsuit and its successful litigation, has led most of the major auto insurers in Massachusetts to now voluntarily pay the interest owed to the customer, without the need for protracted litigation, court costs and attorney's fees.

John believes that such large scale successes as outlined above clearly have a positive effect with respect to other cases which he presents to auto insurance companies here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

John has been married for 13 years and lives in Swampscott Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
