Welcome

The Civil Divorce

The sensible approach to a new life

Save time, stress, expense

Have you ever heard anything good about a divorce war? It's ugly, expensive, and often      pointless, since 98% of divorces settle before trial. If you want to avoid a nasty divorce, get         what you deserve, and get on with your life, you may benefit from one of these divorce services:

                                        Uncontested/No-fault                      Divorce mediation

                                        Partial services/coaching             Full representation                          

How My Practice is Different

1. Basic belief: if possible, avoid court. I believe that every option should be pursued before running off to court. A divorce war can ruin your family and cost you thousands. Only two types of people urge you to wage a court battle--those who haven't been through it, or those who stand to make a lot of money from it. Avoid these people.

2. Sensible fees. With many attorneys, you have to pay a huge advance payment just to get started. I require an advance, of course, but it's realistic. Also, I keep my expenses low, and that's reflected in my hourly rate. (For more information, see the page "Questions About Fees.")

3. Specialization. My practice is limited to Massachusetts divorce & family law. It's all I do.    It's not something I dabble in as part of a general practice.

A personal note...

I’ve tried to make this site simple and informative. I hope you find it helpful.                                     If you'd like to discuss anything, please e-mail or call me. There’s no charge.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.
