Vicki L. Shemin, J.D., LICSW, ACSW, a partner at Fields and Dennis LLP, has been consistently recognized on a national and state level for showing dedication, compassion, leadership and excellence in family law and alternative dispute resolution. She is the honored recipient of 2018 Top Women of Law award and has been distinguished as a 2018 Massachusetts Super Lawyer. For the past several years, she was named a “Top Ten Attorney in Family Law in Massachusetts” and this year has again been honored as a “Top Rated Lawyer: Women Leaders in the Law.”. With her dual-degree in law and clinical social work, Attorney Shemin is distinctively well-suited to offer clients an array of dispute resolution options including mediation, collaborative law, settlement negotiations, parenting coordination, divorce consultation and coaching, guardian ad litem evaluative opinions, premarital and postnuptial agreements – and she even has a subspecialization in handling cases for those interested in working on “agreements to stay married.”

Mr. Fields believes that while the law is always critical in a family law case, his experience has taught him that most of the time it is the psychodynamics of the parties and counsel that determine whether and how a case settles.  That is why process is so critical to resolution — and why choosing the right “container” is vital.  Put another way: “getting there” is important but the way you get there is just as important.  Mediation may work for some clients.  Collaborative Law may work for others.  Sometimes, a more traditional representation or litigation is appropriate.  Often, there may be a creative combination of processes that will suit a certain dynamic.
