About Me
I have been an attorney since 1990. I received my Juris Doctorate from the New England School of Law in 1989 and started my own practice in 1990. I am admitted to practice in the Massachusetts courts, the Appeals Court and the Supreme Court of the United States. I've focused on the needs of families and I practice mostly in the Juvenile Court and the Probate and Family Court. My practice is on the South Shore of Massachusetts handling cases in Plymouth County, Norfolk County and Bristol County
