Community Involvement

D’Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers is honored to have received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Town of Watertown Human, Social & Leisure Services in recognition of our support of the Watertown Food Bank during the holiday season.

In a letter to our team, Watertown Social Services shared their sincere gratitude for what they described as a very large donation of food, noting how thrilled they were with the community response and the joy it brought to hundreds of local families. Thanks to generous contributions from organizations and residents across town, the Social Services Holiday Program was a great success—helping ensure that families in need could experience a warm, meaningful holiday.

We are deeply grateful to Jeanne Vichioli and the entire Watertown Social Services team for the work they do year-round to support our neighbors. Giving back to the community that supports us is an important part of who we are, and we’re proud to play a small role in helping make Watertown stronger—especially during the holiday season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this effort possible. Together, we truly can make a difference.

D’Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers was proud to be represented at Holy Cross High School Career Exploration Day, an engaging event that brought alumni, parents, former faculty, and community professionals back to campus to connect with students and share real-world career experiences. The Holy Cross High School Career Exploration Day created a welcoming environment where students could explore a wide range of professions and begin thinking about the paths available to them beyond high school.

Attorney Jeremy D’Amico, a Holy Cross alumnus from the Class of 2007, returned to his alma mater to speak with students about his journey to becoming a lawyer. During the day, Jeremy shared what inspired him to pursue a career in law, the educational path required, and what the day-to-day practice of law looks like in the real world. His perspective offered students an honest look at the profession and emphasized the importance of hard work, integrity, and dedication.

The Holy Cross High School Career Exploration Day began with students circulating among presenters in a large group setting, allowing for one-on-one conversations and informal discussions. Students then participated in smaller breakout sessions, giving them the opportunity to ask thoughtful questions and gain deeper insight into various career paths. This format encouraged meaningful dialogue and helped students better understand how their interests and strengths can translate into future opportunities.

Jeremy’s participation reflects D’Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers’ ongoing commitment to education, mentorship, and community involvement. We believe giving back means sharing knowledge, offering guidance, and supporting the next generation as they explore their goals and ambitions. Opportunities like this help students build confidence, broaden their perspectives, and gain valuable exposure to careers they may not have otherwise considered.

We are proud to support Holy Cross High School and applaud its leadership for creating what promises to be a meaningful and lasting tradition. Events like Holy Cross High School Career Exploration Day play an important role in inspiring students and strengthening connections between schools, alumni, and the greater community.
