PRO
also known as Sandy Durland, William Sanford Durland III
As a partner at Schmidt & Federico, P.C., my practice is concentrated in domestic relations, family law and probate litigation, at both the trial and appellate levels. I've tried hundreds of case and have argued and been involved with a number of leading appellate cases involving divorce and family law practice, including those in the areas regarding the interpretation of the Alimony Reform Act (Chin vs. Merriot, 470 Mass. 527 & Holmes vs. Holmes, 467 Mass. 653), alimony (Wooters vs. Wooters, 42 Mass. App. Ct. 929), income attribution (C.D.L. vs. M.M.L., 72 . 146) and business valuations and pass through/K-1 income (Caveney vs. Caveney, 81 . 102). I've also authored and co-authored a number of legal treatises, as well as a number of articles for the Boston and Massachusetts Bar Associations and Massachusetts Lawyer’s Weekly and have lectured on such topics as will contests, alimony and child support, child custody and visitation, equitable property division, contempt actions as well as on recent developments and changes in the law.
