I have been a conciliator with the Essex County Bar Association since 1998 and with the Middlesex County Bar Association since the inception of its Conciliation Program.  I serve as Lead Trainer in both Essex and Middlesex Counties and have worked as a trainer and mentor, helping to establish Conciliation Programs in Barnstable, Bristol, Berkshire, Worcester and Norfolk Counties.  I received my qualification as Conciliation Trainer through the Massachusetts Office of Dispute Resolution (MODR) and am also a trained mediator and arbitrator.  I provide conciliation services as a volunteer and mediation and arbitration services on a private pay basis.. For over 70 years, the Massachusetts law office of Nigro, Pettepit & Lucas, LLP has assisted individuals, families, and business with numerous legal issues.  As skilled in negotiation as we are with litigation, we advocate staunchly on behalf of all our clients, no matter how prolonged or complex the case.  In fact, many of our new clients are referred by former ones, or by other attorneys who were impressed by the quality of our professional services.

I am currently an Associate Attorney at Nigro, Pettepit & Lucas, LLP.  While my primary focus has been family law and divorce matters, I have a wide range of experience in civil litigation matters, such as equity complaints, petitions to partition, and estate litigation. I also have experience with real estate transactions, estate planning and drafting, estate administration, and trust accounting.. I began working at Nigro, Pettepit & Lucas, LLP as a legal intern in May 2012, and I continued this position part-time while obtaining my J.D. from Suffolk University Law School. I joined the firm full time upon my graduation from Suffolk University Law School in 2014. I was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in November of 2014.. In January 2016, I obtained my certification in Limited Assistance Representation (LAR) in all divisions of the Probate and Family Court. I also completed a SJC approved ADR Probate and Family Court Conciliation Training Program in November of 2016.. My goal is to provide clients with the best possible guidance during what can be extremely difficult times, both emotionally and financially.  I work closely with my clients in order to achieve their objectives in a strategic and effective manner. I strive to build strong and long lasting relationships with my clients, as I hope to be the person they engage for any future needs they may have.
