Overview
Our Family Law practice group – one of the largest in Massachusetts – provides highly sophisticated expertise to clients in addressing their concerns and achieving favorable outcomes. Domestic relations cases often involve financial and emotional challenges for clients. Our attorneys are acutely sensitive to these concerns as they guide clients through the process.
With decades of collective experience, our attorneys are as equally adept at vigorously protecting our clients’ interests in court as they are at achieving negotiated settlements. We tailor the appropriate strategies and tactics to each individual case and provide clients with a focused team approach.
