Firm: Sequel Law LLC
250 Commercial Street , Worcester , Massachusetts 01608
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Family, Alimony, Child Custody, Child Support, Uncontested Divorce
I transitioned to divorce and family law after 15+ years working in accounting and operations for start-up technology companies. I strongly believe lawyers overlook the client experience and often force clients to work their way instead of the best way for the client. I try to look at everything from the client's perspective and try to make things as easy as possible for them.. I am a firm believer that the best way to resolve disputes is through direct communication with the other party. The court system should be the last resort, and I have no problem advising clients that they are better off handling an issue themselves if practical. I view the client relationship as a long-term collaboration rather than a quick money grab. I would much rather a client be completely confident in recommending our firm to a friend or come back years later when they do actually need a lawyer than feel taken advantage of.. I specialize in divorces with financial issues, whether high-income or net worth, family-owned businesses, real estate, retirement assets, or stock options and other equity compensation. All divorces have a range of issues though, so I am certainly not limited to financial cases by any means.. I understand that there is a lot at stake in every family law case, and every case is unique. I consider myself fortunate to be able to work with clients from all walks of life, and I love doing what I do because I know two days will never be the same.

Firm: Law Office of Cynthia T. Runge
171 Milk Street , Boston , Massachusetts 02109
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Juvenile, Guardianship, Child Support, Mediation
My focus is on family law, collaborative law, divorce mediation, and care and protection matters. I believe that family law is the most important and rewarding area of law in which a lawyer can practice. It is also an area of law in which clients need experienced, skilled, and compassionate representation to help them navigate the process.. I have practiced law for over 24 years and I am admitted to the bar in both Massachusetts and New York. In addition to family law, my background includes experience in landlord/tenant, real estate and intellectual property matters (focus on artists, museums and non-profits). In 2001, I was formally trained as a mediator.. I am on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Council for Family Mediation, a member of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Guardianship Association, the Massachusetts Juvenile Bar Association and the New England Association for Conflict Resolution. I graduated from Whittier College School of Law (J.D.) and Boston University (B.S.).. I help my clients transition through divorce with confidence.
