The work of being a family lawyer and mediator is challenging and rewarding. The challenge is in working with people who are experiencing great emotional strain, financial anxiety, and uncertainty.  My goal is to use the skills gained through training and experience, along with a natural respect for people, to help clients achieve financial, family and emotional stability. The reward comes when I am able to guide clients to making good decisions about their legal situation and seeing them return to successful and happy lives post-divorce.  It happens!. In addition to loving my work, personal interests I enjoy including writing, bicycling, photography, boating, and singing in a rock band called Assisted Living. I'm blessed with three children who survived the crisis of divorce very well and still enjoy spending time with their Dad.

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Family, Child Custody, Domestic Violence

I'm Damian Turco and I'm the principal lawyer and owner of Turco Legal, PC, a Massachusetts divorce and family law firm.  Our main office is in Newburyport, but we regularly work and meet clients at our offices in Andover and Boston.. In addition to my experience in representing hundreds of clients through divorce and other custody cases, I'm very fortunate to have a great staff.  The rest of the team consists of Attorney Kristin Sherman and Attorney Ursula Furi-Perry.  We are all supported by our fantastic paralegal, Danielle Edwards.. I love handling these cases and getting my clients great results. Part of the challenge is that the subject matter is generally emotional. Another challenge is that the facts and legal issues can be complex, be it due to financial complexity or complicated parenting issues.  Whatever your case involves, chances are that we have represented clients through similar facts.. We put a considerable amount of guidance and information on our website, particularly the blog, so if you're still trying to get educated, consider reading through our website and subscribing to our newsletter.. All in all, we have a very reasonably-minded and even keeled team.  We review every case as a team every week, even if for only a brief minute.  Having a team on your side presents the advantage that your case, the facts, the strategy, and every facet thereof, have been vetted from different perspectives, with different experiences and depth of knowledge.  We have over 40 years of combined experience at the practice and we're here for you if you need us.. Before we end, I feel it's important to address our lower income pricing model, which lowers our pricing for those earning under $150,000 per year, with a teired pricing model, charging as little as $100 for attorney work.  That compares to rates of $250/hour typical in Massachusetts for cases of this nature.  Eighty percent of those with cases in probate and family court go unrepresented.  Regardless of your financial condition, when it matters most, you deserve an attorney.  Call us today for a free consultation.  or complete a contact form on our website and we'll contact you back.
