I'm the Founding/Managing Partner at Salerno Firm focusing my practice on all areas of family law, including high conflict divorce and highly contentious child custody matters. I have successfully litigated child removal requests and international child abduction cases in the Probate and Family Courts and U.S. District Court in Boston. Prior to founding Salerno Firm, I was a Partner/Shareholder at two Boston based firms where I specialized in family law.
During my legal career, I have served as faculty speaking on child custody related issues, including parental alienation, and I worked as a court appointed special advocate for abused and neglected children for six years. I also have experience working with the Department of Children and Family, Guardian Ad Litems, and mental health and substance abuse counselors in custody matters. As a family law Attorney, I understand the emotional and financial difficulty of divorce and custody proceedings and I work hard to settle cases in an amicable manner.
From 2018-2024, I received the Top Attorneys in Massachusetts Rising Starts recognition.

I have worked with quite a few attorneys in my lifetime and have never experienced someone like Attorney Salerno. She is very engaged and responsive. Even if it was the weekend and I had an inquiry she responded. It is very rare to find an attorney that makes time to make you feel like more then just...

Jennifer was extremely accommodating throughout my divorce. She was always available for questions and assistance. All my paperwork was done in advance of each motion or appearance. She worked well with the opposing attorney and settled my case in my favor. She spent extra time speaking to me on the ...
"Jenn Salerno is an excellent family law attorney. I have known her for several years now and she is my go to person for questions on all types of family law issues from child custody and support, to alimony and asset division. Several attorneys in my firm handle family law issues and I still sometimes refer cases outside my firm to her, which is a testament to her skill and talent as a family attorney. Some attorneys in my firm have worked on opposite sides with Jenn and they all have been very impressed with her legal knowledge, preparation, skill, and advocacy. I highly recommend Jenn to anyone in need of a family law attorney. If I was experiencing a family law issue, she would be my top choice."
