My practice concentrates in simple and complex estate planning,  elder law, including long-term care and Medicaid eligibility planning, special needs planning and probate and trusts administration.. I have a wide range of clients from single and married individuals with modest and high net worth estates; young and mature families desiring to develop efficient tax and succession planning strategies for unexpected incapacity and death; mature families (parents & adult children) desiring to preserve assets in the face of enormous long-term-care costs (nursing facilities, assisted living & home care) through asset protection strategies; and families with children, young and old, that have special needs who want to preserve government benefits yet provide them with financial stability and care management.

I believe that it is imperative for an attorney to educate each client regarding the law; possible outcomes of a legal matter; potential cost of the legal matter; and the pros and cons of litigation (including going to trial or settling the matter).  Depending upon the client's desires and issues at hand, some legal matters require sheer aggressiveness, while others require more finesse and creativity.. Many attorneys forget that we are in a service oriented profession, where clients are our customers.  At Bennett & Belfort, P.C., we strive to maintain long-term relationships with our clients, by providing the highest quality legal representation, irrespective of the size of the client or the legal matter at hand.. Bennett and Belfort, P.C. handles all types of employment law/litigation, business litigation, and real estate litigation matters throughout Massachusetts. Please visit our website at .

Consumers, and business
owners, will appreciate the litigation experience I bring to managing
their issues. I handle all types of civil litigation related to money
owed, and money owing. That includes bankruptcy. If you are in debt, or
if someone owes you money, you call me for help. Likewise, if you are facing foreclosure, and want to pursue the bank - I am your man.I try to avoid
litigation, where possible, especially if  the client has an on-going relationship with the
potential defendant. However, I am perfectly comfortable taking a matter to a jury, and have participated in a number
of trials, including before a jury. I am willing to handle
business litigation matters on very short notice, particularly those
involving attachments or injunctions.. I
also serve as a resource for start-up businesses, providing counseling
surrounding incorporation, contracting, employee relationships, and
basic intellectual property issues.. I started my practice after having attended the evening program at
Suffolk University Law School. I worked all through school at several
Boston area firms where I received terrific training. Working as a solo
practitioner, I know I can provide tremendous value to my clients. It
is in providing value that I take personal satisfaction from the
practice of law.
