Family law disputes are among the most difficult legal issues people face.

Whether your family law case requires comprehensive representation or help with just a few issues, I am ready to give you and your case the attention you deserve.
Let Me Help You Protect Your Financial Future
The divorce process focuses heavily on the division of property, assets and debts, and rightly so. The decisions made (by you or the court) during this process can have a profound effect on your financial health and stability for years to come. It is critical to ensure that you and your children have the resources needed to live securely and comfortably.
One of my biggest strengths in family law is helping clients through the “business of divorce.” I work carefully with you during property division to prioritize the assets most important to you, and I can connect you with a network of finance professionals to help you adapt to your changing financial circumstances. I want you to visualize your best life after divorce, and I’ll do my best to help you realize that vision.
Offering Peaceful Alternatives To Litigation
In recent years, mediation has become a popular alternative to traditional litigation in family law disputes. In cases where it is an appropriate approach, many clients find that mediation is faster, less expensive and less stressful than litigation, and gives both parties more control over the outcome of the case. For divorcing couples who will share custody, mediation can lay the groundwork for a successful and peaceful co-parenting arrangement.
I am a certified mediator and certified conciliator, and I established the first conciliation program in this area of Massachusetts before alternative dispute resolution methods were being widely used. Although mediation isn’t possible in every case, I would be happy to discuss whether it might be right for you.
