About Estela
Biography
Family Law touches upon the most vital and visceral aspects of our lives: our children, our spouses, our property, our money, our emotional and psychological well-being. I have found that a strong, zealous and caring advocate is the best weapon when faced with legal changes to familial relationships. I endeavor to be just such an advocate for my clients.
For over a decade I owned and operated a litigation support company in New York and Boston that assisted trial attorneys in the managment and litigation of their cases. This gave me the opportunity to see numerous attorneys in practice and what worked (and didn't work) in attorney/client relations and the practice of law. When I became an attorney myself I brought that knowledge and experience into my own practice.
