Great Choice

Dea is the best! She was recommended to me by a friend when I was going through my divorce, and I’m so glad I chose her. She was kind, professional — even with my ex — and handled everything quickly and smoothly. The whole process was fast and stress-free thanks to her. Thanks again, Dea — you’re ...the best!

Best lawyer in Boston

Dea was patient, knowledgable, and easy to work with. She helped to settle my divorce in a few months, explained the process every step of the way, fought for me and protected me, and was always transparent with me about costs which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Dea. You can't hire a bett...er lawyer than her!

Best Family Lawyer in town

I cannot recommend Dea highly enough. She helped me post-divorce with child support and co-parenting issues, and her guidance made an incredibly stressful situation manageable. She is extremely well-versed in this area of law and has a rare ability to explain complex legal nuances in a way that is cl...ear and digestible, even if you don’t have a legal background. Dea is always responsive, answers questions quickly, and genuinely makes herself available to her clients. I never felt ignored or rushed. Most importantly, she is a true advocate—thoughtful, strategic, and deeply invested in achieving the best outcome. I am beyond grateful for her support and would confidently recommend her to anyone navigating family law matters.

Knowledgeable and Fierce Advocate

I hired Dea to help with a restraining order and family law matter. Dea was kind and extremely knowledgeable. She walked me through the process step by step and gave me honest and practical advice. Would recommend her for any family law needs.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
