After passing the bar exam he worked in insurance for a number of years before starting up his own practise in 2018 servicing debt collection, which in Jeremys words is the lowest rung of the legal ladder. 

A chance recommendation to help with a dog bite case sent Jeremy's career on a totally different path. He gradually did more and more work with pets until his collection business was sold, he went all in with Boston Dog Lawyers which enabled him to unleash his passion for helping pet dog owners and pet businesses.
