Obtaining the best result for each case requires gathering all important facts, mastery of the law, and experience. The facts are not always obvious. The legal term for fact-finding is "discovery." In our adversarial system of law, each party is responsible for investigating his or her own case. With a few exceptions, one party is not required to share facts with his adversary.

Every person has important legal rights that are protected by the Massachusetts and United States Constitutions, as well as by state and federal statutes. Generally, legal representation begins after a client has been "arraigned" in court and formally charged with a crime. However, someone should contact a lawyer as soon as there is even the remotest chance of being charged with a crime.

A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that is the foundation of an estate plan. I draft Wills after close consultation with the client about their estate planning needs. A Will can be used to designate the individuals who will inherit the client's assets, as well as the legal guardians of the client's children.
