J. Kerrissey, LLC is a small, Plymouth, Massachusetts construction and demolition business incorporated in 2007 under manager Joseph B. Kerrissey III, describing itself as specializing in demolition and site development for public and private projects. In 2018, Kerrissey and the company pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court to 107 charges, including wage theft, larceny, and failure to pay prevailing wage, following a Massachusetts Attorney General investigation into a pattern of unpaid wages and bounced payroll checks to employees from 2011 through 2015. The court ordered $91,743 in restitution to 37 former employees, sentenced Kerrissey to three years of probation, and barred him from bidding on public works projects for five years. A related company under the same ownership, Sunrise Equipment & Excavation Inc., was named in the same case, and a 2018 bankruptcy filing lists J. Kerrissey LLC as debtor at the same Plymouth address. Google reviews from 2018 and 2019 reference the same case directly: one, describing a spouse's paycheck bouncing six times around the time of the guilty plea, and another citing the 107-count conviction, while a separate, brief review made no complaint about the company's work itself. Anyone considering this contractor should weigh this documented history of wage theft and the resulting public-works ban directly against the Massachusetts Attorney General's public record before hiring.

Found guilty of 107 counts of wage theft and larceny.
Piece of garbage just plead guilty to 107 counts of wage theft. The dude was still screwing people out of pay as of September, when my wife's paycheck bounced 6 times. A prison sentence would have been nice, but at least his name is ruined.
They knock stuff down I guess. I have heard no bad things about them
