Local Law Firm Has Big Law Firm Experience
Daniel J. Wood
Offers services in personal injury, estate planning, probate, real estate, business incorporation, contract disputes, criminal defense, and more
The law firm of Wood & Gresham, P.C. in Wrentham is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month.
“We opened in Wrentham in the middle of June in 2004 and have been proudly serving the people of Wrentham and the surrounding communities over the past 20 years,” said Attorney Daniel J. Wood who, along with his law partner David M. Gresham, run the practice.
“We are a local law firm, conveniently located in Wrentham Center, where clients can actually come to our office, meet with us, and speak to us,” says Wood. “We have raised our families in Wrentham and have given back to the community by sponsoring and serving on the boards of many of the youth sports organizations in the area including King Philip Pop Warner, Wrentham Youth Baseball & Softball Association, Wrentham Youth Soccer Association, and all King Philip Sports & Boosters.”
Wood & Gresham cares about its clients and the outcomes they obtain. At this firm, clients are not just a number - which can happen at larger law firms where a case can be worked on by a first-year associate - they are a priority and are assigned to, and worked on by, a partner with over 25 years of experience.
Attorneys Wood and Gresham both broke off from a large Boston-area law firm that primarily worked for insurance companies and defended automobile accident claims.
“If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Top notch service, extremely pleasant to work with, always kept me informed, and gave great advice. Whatever your needs are, you will be in great hands!!” - Gina W., client
Wood said, “When we opened our own firm in 2004, we began representing individuals who were injured in motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and work-related accidents. We found this work particularly rewarding because we were helping injured people ‘get back on their feet’ and recover fair compensation for their injuries and economic losses…When it comes to personal injury cases, we have the distinct advantage over other law firms of having practiced law on the other side (the defense side), so we know how insurance companies think. We know what elements of a personal injury claim insurance companies look for when evaluating a claim’s value, so this helps us maximize the financial recovery for our clients.”
“We know how insurance companies think. We know what elements of a personal injury claim insurance companies look for when evaluating a claim’s value, so this helps us maximize the financial recovery for our clients.”
In addition to personal injury cases, the firm offers services in estate planning and real estate. When the firm opened in 2004, the partners noticed there was a “real need in the community to help people with estate planning (wills and trusts), probate, and real estate purchases and sales” - a need they have filled for two decades.
“We began concentrating in those areas and have found this to be very rewarding because we are helping people in the community deal with important aspects or events in their lives. Everyone needs an attorney to help them create a customized estate plan. Everyone needs help probating a family member’s Will at some point; and most people eventually need help buying or selling a home. For these reasons, we want people in the community to know that we offer these services, as well as personal injury representation.”
And if they don’t offer a particular service, they can refer people to an attorney who does.
“We always tell people that, if they have any legal problem at all, just give us a call, because even if we don’t handle those kinds of issues, we usually can refer them to another attorney who specializes in that area,” says Wood.

Wood & Gresham examples of success
Case 1 - The Bicyclist
One of the firm’s most recent successes was a jury verdict obtained in Norfolk Superior Court last year where Wood represented a bicyclist who was injured in an automobile accident. He was knocked unconscious and sustained a cerebral concussion which lasted approximately 6-8 weeks, a significant laceration to the back of his head requiring 13 staples, and suffered from vestibular vertigo.
The insurance company vehemently disputed who was at fault for the accident and the nature, extent, and causation of the Plaintiff’s vertigo. The Defendants’ insurer’s highest offer prior to trial was $100,000. After a week-long jury trial, the jury returned a verdict which amounted to over $413,000 including interest and statutory costs.
Case 2 - The Dream House
After many months of frustrating legal hurdles, the firm recently helped a young couple purchase their dream home. The firm obtained a settlement for a client who was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident that some people may have considered a small settlement, but to this particular client, the settlement was enough to put a down payment on a house for him and his family.
In-person and virtual appointments available, often the next day.
