When your marriage or your time with your children is at stake, you need a lawyer who will tell you plainly where you stand, move quickly when it counts, and stay reachable throughout the case. I have practiced law in Massachusetts for more than 25 years, and I have run my own practice in Reading since 2002.
I represent clients in:
Contested and uncontested divorce
Child custody and parenting time, including emergency custody motions and ex parte orders
Child support and alimony
Modifications and contempt actions
Temporary orders while a divorce is pending
Custody matters involving an abuse prevention (209A) order
Family cases often start with an emergency: an order you didn’t know was coming, a hearing in a few days, or children you suddenly can’t see. I act fast in those situations. I get the right filings in front of the court before the hearing and make sure the judge hears your side.
Many of my clients are more comfortable in Spanish, and I meet with them in Spanish. Hablo español — atiendo casos de divorcio y custodia en español.
At your first consultation, I’ll explain your options, the likely timeline, and my fees, including the retainer, how billing works, and what it covers. You’ll get it in writing before you decide anything.
I appear regularly in the Essex and Middlesex Probate and Family Courts and serve clients throughout the North Shore and Merrimack Valley, including Reading, Wakefield, Woburn, Stoneham, Lynn, Saugus, Peabody, Malden, and Lawrence.
