Because I have raised a child with severe special needs and even suffered through the loss of her, my focus is very passionate and fulfilling. This is my life, not my work. I have applied to become a foster parent for medically fragile children who are waiting to be placed. I am a mission driven person and I live my life intentionally. I am very concerned that we are not bringing along enough passionate advocates for this cause, so this year I have started a series of webinars and an in person conference to promote special needs advocacy (practicing beyond the special needs trust) for our membership at MassNAELA in an effort to engage our attorneys in deepening their special needs practice. Although we are a small firm, we do our best to mentor along new attorneys and colleagues in this area of practice. In addition, in the last twelve months we clocked over 200 hours of pro bono work, which is substantial for a small law firm with only 7 employees total.

Attorney Annette Hines Saved Our Family In A Time of Crisis
I was a mother going through a difficult divorce with no knowledge of special needs trusts, family, or disability law when I met attorney Annette Hines. Ms. Hines not only made the process of completing a Living Trust and Special Needs Trust as painless as it could be, but showed great compass...
"Annette is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend her. When I have clients with children with special needs and am unable to help, I recommend Annette. Annette’s technical expertise is surpassed only by her compassion for the families of special needs people."
