For the past twenty years, Kevin has concentrated his practice primarily on wills, estates, trusts, and the litigation of family disputes in those areas.  Working with individuals and families to preserve their wealth, their goals, and to pass on their dreams is Kevin’s passion.

Kevin attended Stonehill College and played football there.  After earning his CPA from two prominent Boston CPA firms, Kevin chose to pursue law school.  He attended New England School of Law at night while working initially as a Securities Fraud Investigator for the Massachusetts Securities Division dealing with issues including prosecuting frauds of all types, such as “insider trading”; filing false financial information; and several Ponzi schemes.  Later while still in law school, Kevin became a bank fraud Investigator for the FDIC.  In that capacity, he was responsible for determining civil and criminal liability in numerous failed financial institutions.  He worked concurrent and as a part of the New England Bank Fraud Task Force with the FBI, the Secret Service, the U. S. Attorney’s Office, and the Department of Justice, to prosecute bank fraud.  With that experience under his belt, he focused his practice on tax, financial, and probate litigation as well as estate planning.

Kevin takes litigation cases on an hourly or contingent fee basis depending upon the client’s needs.  His cases have helped his clients recover millions of dollars.  Kevin believes the success of the case is his involvement from its inception until its completion through settlement or judgment at trial. Kevin returns his calls and always has a free initial consultation to insure that he can help his client and that they have the ability to work together to meet their the client’s goals.
