Areas of Focus
Child & Family Law
I represent children and parents in state intervention and family regulation proceedings across Massachusetts. Whether you are facing a DCF investigation, a Care and Protection case, a Termination of Parental Rights hearing, or a Child Requiring Assistance (CRA) petition, I will advocate for you every step of the way. My goal is to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive fair treatment in the legal system.
LGBTQ+ Family Law & Advocacy
Not every case requires full legal representation. Limited Assistance Representation (LAR) allows you to get legal help for specific parts of your case while handling the rest on your own. If you need help drafting legal documents, preparing for court, negotiating a settlement, or understanding your legal options, I can provide the support you need—without the cost of full representation. LAR is available in Massachusetts Superior, Probate and Family, Housing, District, Boston Municipal, and Land Courts for non-criminal cases.
Limited Assistance Representation (LAR)
I provide comprehensive legal support for LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and children, ensuring their rights are protected. Whether you need assistance with adoptions, parentage determinations, or donor agreements, I help families establish legal security and peace of mind.
I also advocate for LGBTQ+ children facing discrimination in schools, child welfare systems, and other institutions, working to protect their rights and well-being.
If you need legal guidance in building, protecting, or advocating for your family, I am here to help.
