OUTCOME: Decrees vacated

I represented a mother whose parental rights had been "terminated" without a proper trial (including testimony). The Appeals Court vacated the decision and ordered a new trial.

Adoption

Adoption of Parker, 77 Mass. App. Ct. 619 (2010)

Sep 09, 2010

OUTCOME: Decrees vacated, new trial ordered.

The Appeals Court agreed that the evidence was insufficient to terminate parental rights where, despite facts in dispute, the evidence admitted was comprised of documents, offers of proof, and no live ... testimony by witnesses. Even where such a protocol was suggested by the judge, and agreed to by attorneys, it "deprived the mother of the opportunity to be heard... in a meaningful manner."

The Avvo Rating explained

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.
