Attorney Matthew P. Blouin is a respected divorce and family law attorney with a wealth of experience representing scores of men, women and families with divorce, child custody, child support, alimony (spousal support), property division, post-judgment modifications, complaints for contempt and other family law matters.. Attorney Blouin enjoys an excellent reputation in both the Central and Western Massachusetts legal communities, where he has earned renown among clients, peers and opposing counsel as a highly competent and ethical family law attorney.. He has handled more than 300 complex family law cases, working with a variety of clients, including men and women, business owners, spouses of business owners, doctors, salespeople, state workers, engineers, factory workers, unemployed spouses, homemakers and educators.. Of late, Attorney Blouin has solidified his reputation as the go-to guy for both the hard-working spouse as well as the spouse who left all financial matters to their husband or wife and now, with divorce pending, feels both scared and vulnerable not knowing what to do first. His combination of sophistication and heart make him one of the top family lawyers in the region.. Clients say Matthew has an instinctive feel for their needs. He can be tender when needed, but also stern if that’s what the situation requires. His calm, soft-spoken demeanor can be misleading, but it’s also his secret weapon. By calmly listening and observing, he’s able to target the most important issues – as well as spotting potential bargaining chips – that he uses to obtain the best possible outcomes for his clients. “I’m able to see solutions that others may not see,” he explained.. A masterful negotiator, Attorney Blouin says he prefers settling cases without going to trial. “The last thing you want is to have a judge decide who your children are going to live with, or how you are going to live your life.”. Matthew says the cases he relishes most are those in which he can help protect children from harmful situations, including helping grandparents seeking guardianship and visitation. One of the cases he’s proudest of is helping a woman gain custody of her granddaughter after the girl’s mother died of a drug overdose. A judge initially granted custody to the father, but Attorney Blouin was able to get that decision reversed and the girl is now being raised by her grandmother.. Most judges believe children are better off with their parents, but that’s not always the case, Attorney Blouin said. He will tenaciously fight for what’s in the best interest of the child, regardless of the case.. Given his experience in Central and Western Massachusetts courtrooms, Attorney Blouin has the added advantage of knowing most of the judges and courtroom personnel. This not only helps him prepare the best possible case, he said, but he can also explain to his clients what likely will happen in their case. “This helps me temper expectations, too.”. Matthew is a native of Charlton, MA. A graduate of Western New England University and Western New England University School of Law, Attorney Blouin was one of only three graduates to complete the 3+3 program in the spring of 2012, attaining his Juris Doctor after six years of study as opposed to the traditional seven years.

Successful Attorney. Tulsa, Oklahoma attorney, James M. Wirth, Esq., has obtained exceptional results for his clients in Criminal Defense, Family Law, Personal Injury, Workers' Compensation and other areas of Oklahoma law. This includes but is not limited to jury trial acquittals, six figure settlements, and successful appeals, including restoring a father's terminated parental rights on appeal to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Although these successes demonstrate his legal expertise, they do not guarantee results on any future case. Every case is different and must be approached according to the specific facts and circumstances of that case.. Balanced Attorney. Like many things in life, optimal legal representation requires balance: between experience and obsolescence, zealous advocacy and obnoxiousness, and between success and availability. Wirth Law Office founder, James M. Wirth, has recognized these distinctions and the difficulties that most attorneys and law firms have properly balancing them. Reconciliation of these distinctions is required for ideal legal representation and this firm was founded to provide such ideal representation.. Trust. A lawyer’s job is to advocate for his or her client's expressed interests. Such an attorney/client relationship requires cooperation and trust. Although some attorneys may simply demand their clients to have faith in them, the Wirth Law Office believes that earned trust is an essential element of proper legal representation; trust not only in the attorney's character but also his or her aptitude, knowledge, and skill. The Wirth Law Office offers free initial legal consultations with the firm's founder, attorney James M. Wirth, in order to provide an opportunity for the firm to earn your trust, prior to investing in a retainer fee.
