Practice Areas: Bankruptcy & Debt, Employment & Labor, Guardianship

I am David McLoon, a native of Massachusetts raised by parents who struggled like hell to make ends meet. Because of this, I have concentrated my practice in areas that can help the average working people and the less fortunate overcome legal obstacles in their lives. I am here professionally to help people with Consumer Bankruptcy, Unfair Debt Collection and Credit Reporting, and other Debtor’s Rights matters.. For over 25 years I have concentrated my law practice in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy, helping individuals and small businesses with debt problems. During that time, I have helped many, many people like you who have suffered from seemingly insurmountable debt problems. I do not represent creditors or financial institutions so that I can maintain my loyalty to the many people who have needed my help. You will receive that same loyalty and consideration as my client.. I am a proud member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys. NACBA is a first class organization and does an excellent job of keeping its members current on the latest issues affecting families in need of Bankruptcy assistance. I have also been fortunate enough to have presented numerous Debtor Clinics for Neighborhood Legal Services in Lynn as well as presenting Bankruptcy practice education for new attorneys.. Having been raised in Ipswich, Massachusetts I enjoy antiques, old houses and the many beaches, parks and historic sites on the North Shore. My first job in High School was landscaping for the Ipswich Historical Society and I feel fortunate to live in an area that is so rich in history and natural resources. We also enjoy some great schools and world class medical care! Not to mention some of the best sports teams in the country (Go Pats!!). I have also had fun taking part in various community and pro bono activities, from coordinating the Fourth of July ceremonies when I lived in Bath, Maine to participating as a member of school committees and parent advisory boards. I was the youngest Chairperson in the history of the Bath City Council. I was named Pro Bono Attorney of the Year in 2001 for helping Neighborhood Legal Clinic design and present seminars on debt collection and Bankruptcy for their low income clients. I was also named a Foster Parent of the Year in 2007 by the Department of Children and Families in conjunction with the Massachusetts Society on Prevention of Cruelty to Children.. Having had offices in Salem and Lynn I am now proudly serving clients at 10 Liberty Street, Danvers, Massachusetts – conveniently located near the Rte. 62 exit on Rte. 128.

Firm: Special Needs Law Group of Massachusetts

20 Speen Street , Framingham , Massachusetts 01701

Practice Areas: Elder Law, Estate Planning, Guardianship

Because I have raised a child with severe special needs and even suffered through the loss of her, my focus is very passionate and fulfilling. This is my life, not my work. I have applied to become a foster parent for medically fragile children who are waiting to be placed. I am a mission driven person and I live my life intentionally. I am very concerned that we are not bringing along enough passionate advocates for this cause, so this year I have started a series of webinars and an in person conference to promote special needs advocacy (practicing beyond the special needs trust) for our membership at MassNAELA in an effort to engage our attorneys in deepening their special needs practice. Although we are a small firm, we do our best to mentor along new attorneys and colleagues in this area of practice. In addition, in the last twelve months we clocked over 200 hours of pro bono work, which is substantial for a small law firm with only 7 employees total.

Firm: Harvey Law Offices

27 Congress Street , Salem , Massachusetts 01970

Practice Areas: Guardianship

I concentrate my practice on protecting elder and disabled clients and their assets. I regularly appear in probate court to obtain guardianship and conservatorship authority for family members whose loved ones are no longer able to make their own decisions, whether it is an elder who has been diagnosed with advanced dementia or Alzheimer's disease, a disabled child who is reaching adulthood, or someone who suffers a traumatic brain injury. I also work to avoid these scenarios by proper estate planning, such as wills, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies and medical care directives. I help protect assets through the use of trusts, transferring or re-titling property, and homestead protection. When the time comes, I also assist families in getting a proper personal representative appointed to administer the estate of their deceased loved ones. I advise the personal representative and the family in navigating the probate process and settling the estate, including selling real estate, negotiating the payment of debts, distributing any inheritance and resolving inter-family disputes. When necessary, I also litigate probate matters that cannot be settled among family members. I most frequently practice in Essex, Middlesex, Suffolk and Norfolk Probate Courts. My work is primarily aimed at helping my clients retain as much independence and control over their lives as possible. I served two terms  as a member of the Massachusetts PCA (Personal Care Attendant) Workforce Council, to which I was appointed by Attorney General Martha Coakley in 2009. The Workforce Council aims to improve the quality of care available to individuals who would be in a nursing home without the care provided by in-home care providers and to assist PCA users in obtaining and keeping qualified home care.Due to the nature of my clientele, I am always happy to meet with people at their homes or at the hospital or nursing home.
