Firm: Chapdelaine, Ryan & Associates
20 Somerset Ave , Winthrop , Massachusetts 02152
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Family , General Practice, Personal Injury, Real Estate , Personal Injury, Personal Injury, Criminal Defense, Estate Planning, Litigation
Attorney Marc E. Chapdelaine embodies a commitment to justice that transcends the courtroom. Since graduating from Syracuse University College of Law in 2002—anchored by a Bachelor of Arts from Stonehill College in 1999—Marc has dedicated his professional life to not only mastering the intricacies of the law but also understanding the profound human experiences that lie beneath every case. In 2023, recognizing the power of a shared vision, he joined forces with his longtime colleague, Tim Ryan, to establish Chapdelaine, Ryan and Associates, a firm devoted to integrity, innovation, and client advocacy.. Admitted to practice in Massachusetts since 2002 and before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts since 2003, Marc has crafted a multifaceted legal practice. His work spans estate planning, civil litigation, personal injury, criminal defense, fiduciary litigation, and catastrophic injury cases—each representing not just legal challenges, but the pivotal moments in people’s lives. Marc’s extensive trial experience is a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and his deep-seated belief that every client deserves a voice that respects both their legal rights and their individual story.. Marc’s impact resonates far beyond his courtroom achievements. Serving on the Executive Board of the Greater Lynn Bar Association and the Board of Directors for the Essex County Bar Association, he is actively involved in shaping the future of legal practice. As a Fellow of both the Massachusetts Bar Foundation and the Litigation Counsel of America—a prestigious society acknowledging fewer than 0.5% of U.S. lawyers—Marc’s career reflects a rare blend of intellectual rigor and ethical fortitude. His involvement in these organizations is driven by a commitment to elevate the legal community and to ensure that the highest standards of justice are maintained.. Throughout his career, Marc’s diligence and ethical practice have garnered significant accolades. He earned the coveted AV Preeminent® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell® in 2017—a distinction awarded to fewer than 5% of attorneys nationwide—affirming his status as a leading legal mind. In tandem with this honor, his receipt of Martindale-Hubbell’s Platinum Client Champion Award every year since 2017, his designation as a Super Lawyer in New England since 2014 (following Rising Star recognition from 2009 to 2013), and a consistent 10/10 rating on AVVO.com, underscore how his relentless dedication transforms legal representation into a beacon of hope and reliability.. Marc’s legal journey is interwoven with a deep commitment to community service. For over 18 years, he has been an active member of the Saugus Lions Club, culminating in the honor of receiving the Melvin Jones Fellowship in 2017. His civic engagement is extensive: from chairing the Town of Winthrop Board of Licensing (2018–2021) and leading the Winthrop Ordinance Review Committee in 2022, to serving on the Winthrop Zoning Board of Appeals since January 2023. In 2023, his leadership took on a broader canvas as he assumed the role of President of the Winthrop Chamber of Commerce, while also inspiring younger generations as a Little League and Youth Soccer coach.. Outside the halls of justice, Marc finds profound fulfillment in his family life. Whether he is reflecting on a complex case or savoring moments with his wife and three children, Marc continually honors the belief that law and life are inseparably intertwined—a testament to his ongoing journey to serve, empower, and uplift those who place their trust in him.

Madeline G. Blanchette

Firm: Foster and Blanchette
4 Open Square Way, Suite 124 , Holyoke , Massachusetts 01040
Practice Areas: Child Abuse, Guardianship, Family, Domestic Violence, Appeals
The success of my practice comes from my ardent philosophy of providing clients, regardless of income, with the most elite, aggressive representation that always includes meticulous listening, diligent legal research, thorough motion practice, advanced legal writing, skilled negotiating, and comprehensive hearing and trial representation. Prior to becoming an attorney, I was a social worker (M.S.W.) for 20 years, making me uniquely qualified to advocate for children and adults with complex legal, cultural, economic, and clinical needs who are facing the overwhelming power of the state in the Department of Children and Family. In Care and Protection cases, I provide comprehensive legal services and rarely advise clients to waive their rights at the 72- hour hearing, a critical legal juncture where I have had excellent success in quickly reuniting children and parents.
