also known as Maura Nicholson
Maura Melcher’s high levels of integrity and compassion carry over perfectly into her law practice. Her work with clients allows her to appear regularly in the Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk and Middlesex Probate Courts and she has even argued several cases at the Massachusetts Court of Appeals. Her attention to detail, ability to read a situation, and negotiating skills give her clients the advantage in any and all venues. Attorney Melcher spent time working as a judicial intern in the Plymouth Superior Court system in Brockton, MA as well as in the Norfolk Superior Court, Dedham, MA – gaining invaluable knowledge related to the inner workings of the courthouse. She spent time discussing case outcomes with the justices – learning how cases are decided and how to make the best arguments to achieve positive outcomes. She spent a year working for Bonner, Kiernan, Trebach & Crociata, a civil defense firm in downtown Boston, where she earned rave reviews and excellent recommendations from her superiors. She also worked for Davis Bruce, now retired Attorney at Law, who strictly specialized in criminal law. In 2012, she opened her own practice and specialized in Family Law and Estate Planning.

Top notch
Child custody battle from HE**! I was going to court for removal of my child from the state. Met Maura and she got all the details on our first meet. She remembered the names of people involved and is sooo approachable. Pricing is the most reasonable around. She replies to questions or concerns in a ...

Awesome attorney
Maura navigated the parallel universe of the district court for a harassment prevention order that was making my life miserable. She literally had the case terminated within 1 minute before the judge, It was truly a great experience. This was a tricky case because the other person was a crazy liar. ...

Fantastic representation in very difficult circumstances!
I hired Maura to help me with a child custody and support case with my ex, an abusive narcissist. Even though I am an attorney, it took weeding through many other attorneys – many of whom made unsubstantiable promises about my case or who clearly were not prepared for the challenges of my situation –...

Maura is the best
Maura is an extremely dedicated professional. She is on top of her cases and actually cares about her client and works hard to obtain the results you are looking for. You will not be disapointed by Maura if you hire her! I am thankful to have had her recommended to me by a trusted friend.

Excellent----
Maura is very understanding and has very good knowledge. She always kept me informed and made me feel that I am part of the process.
"Maura was opposing counsel on a divorce matter that presented some interesting questions regarding asset valuation and debt allocation. She was professional throughout the process, and her experience was apparent when she suggested changes to the separation agreement to satisfy the specific clerk handling our case. Her clients are in good hands."
"I endorse this lawyer. Maura is the utmost professional as well as being knowledgable and compassionate. I would reccomend her to anyone in Massachuseets seeking an attorney in the area of family law."
"It is my pleasure to endorse Attorney Nicholson. She is an intelligent and hard working advocate for her clients. I would highly recommend Maura to anyone needing legal representation or advice for any family matter."
