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.

I have been an attorney since 1988 and continue to love my profession.  It is not for everyone as it is a much of a lifestyle that remains with me even after I lock the doors of my office when I go home at night.  I am a classic "Type-A" person which is a quality necessary to be a good attorney.  Even on weekends, I cannot resist having all calls from my office transferred to my cellular telephone as I am a proverbial "junkie" for new legal adventures.  Even my hobby, aviation, requires that I am constantly thinking, active and always planning several steps ahead.  This is how I practice law.. Fortunately, my wife is my law partner.  She too, as a highly experienced and renowned domestic relations attorney, understands and shares my zeal and my need, from a professional standpont, for action, excitement and conquest..  We have two active offices in Massachusetts, one in Brookline, Ma, and the other in Brockton, Ma.  There are two fine associates who work for us making the total number of attorneys in our offices numbered at four.   We are big enough to take on the large matters and yet small enough that each and every one of us has close relationships with out clients.. I am a graduate of Hofstra University in 1984 and graduated the New England School of Law in 1988.  I am admitted to both the Massachusetts Bar and the local Federal Courts.. While I have a liberal bent on social policy, I believe that families, regardless of how they are composed, are the most important and fundamental building blocks of our society.  In that manner, I am old fashioned and still believe that for our laws to be just, fair and effective, we all must have strong educational and moral foundations.  This is a constant theme in how I provide representation to my clients.

Beth strives to assist clients in family law and probate matters in achieving out-of-court resolutions, in order to help clients avoid prolonged, expensive, and contentious litigation.  To this end, Beth is a trained mediator, mediating divorces, parenting plans, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, multigenerational/elder issues, and probate matters.
