One Firm for Tri-Town Families
Family changes and estate planning often arrive together. We handle both, so you never have to start over with a second firm.
Families across Topsfield, Boxford, and Middleton share schools and sports schedules. When parents separate, a parenting plan has to work around the Masconomet calendar and the realities of two households, and we build plans that fit how your children actually live.
Many Tri-Town households are also looking after aging parents while raising children of their own. We put durable powers of attorney and health care proxies in place before a crisis, plan for long-term care with MassHealth in mind, and handle guardianship when a parent can no longer manage on their own.
Because we practice family law and estate planning under one roof, the pieces connect. A divorce is the moment to update a will, a trust, and beneficiary designations, and a new marriage or a new child is the moment to plan again. We make sure nothing falls between the two.
Topsfield is our main office, at 458 Boston Street (Route 1), 2nd Floor, Suite 6. We also meet by video and offer evening appointments.
