About Colleen
Biography
I have been practicing family law for 16 years. It is my mission to help you and your family through difficult family situations. I am available for weekend and night appointments so you don't have to miss work to meet with me.
I have had the honor of not only practicing law, but making law as State Representative of the 36th Middlesex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The District includes all of the towns of Dracut and Tyngsborough for the last 25 years.
I am very active in my community as President of the Dracut Volunteers, Inc.; President of the Foundation for a Better Dracut; Executive Director of the Joseph Middlemiss Big Heart Foundation; member of the Dracut Garden Club; Vice President of the Dracut Democratic Town Committee and supporter of many local charities in Dracut and Tyngsborough.
I enjoy camping; arts and crafts; movies; time with family and friends; and my two cats, Princess Diana and Charlie.

Great advocate on your side when you need it most!
Colleen helped me with a two difficult cases over the last five years, regarding emancipation of my college-age children and subsequent (contested) termination of child support. It was a long process but things turned-out pretty well overall. She definitely tries to be fair and gave me an honest ass...
