Firm: Next Phase Legal & Dispute Resolution LLC

Practice Areas: Mediation, Estate Planning, Divorce & Separation
Future-Focused Dispute Resolution. I am a Massachusetts divorce and family law attorney and mediator, and the owner of Next Phase Legal & Dispute Resolution LLC of Norfolk, MA.. Although I believe many families are best served by considering mediation or the collaborative divorce process, it is not an option for everyone. In those instances, we provided trusted court representation in the Massachusetts Probate and Family Courts, primarily in Norfolk, Middlesex, Bristol, Plymouth, and Worcester Counties.. I am experienced in guiding my clients through complex, high-net worth Massachusetts divorces. I have focused on divorce and family law throughout my legal career, both here in MA and previously in Charlotte, NC. One of the most important things to me is also providing prompt service and communications to our clients.. At Next Phase Legal, we provide the option of a fixed fee for many of our clients, including our divorce mediation and collaborative cases.. Besides divorce, we work with clients needing help with modifications, parenting issues, child support, alimony, prenuptial agreements, and other family law matters. We are also pleased to provide estate planning services, and are a Wealth Counsel member firm.. I am a member of several other professional organizations, including the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation, Association of Professional Family Mediators, Association of Family & Conciliation Courts, Massachusetts Association of Guardian ad Litems, and the Norfolk County Bar Association. I am also a volunteer conciliator, and available for private conciliations also.. Please visit our informative website and blog.. We look forward to hearing from you.

Firm: Law Office of Robert Stolzberg
105 Willard Rd. , Brookline , Massachusetts 02445
Practice Areas: Ethics & Professional Responsibility, Appeals, Arbitration, Mediation
For over 50 years, as I represented clients,I always remembered that my job was to get the results the client wanted. I concentrated in representing clients in a wide variety of litigation matters, mostly in major, sophisticated and complex cases. I always tried to avoid litigation if that is possible. It is nearly always better for my clients to resolve a dispute before it gets to court. I would negotiate or mediate a dispute when that made sense. If not, I considered arbitration or litigation. In every case, I analyzed the issues to determine the best strategy and tactics to get the best results possible. Then I implemented that strategy.. I practiced in a multitude of state and federal trial and appellate courts, and also regulatory agencies. Based on that experience, I now concentrate my practice on acting as an expert witness and consultant in legal malpractice matters, as well as acting as a neutral or representative in arbitrations and mediations. As a mediator or arbitral neutral, I always remember that my job is to achieve a solution to the dispute that is fair and reasonable to the parties, avoiding the time and expense of protracted litigation in the courts.

This may be your first divorce or adoption, but it is not mine. I have practiced exclusively in all areas of family, adoption, and surrogacy/assistive reproduction law for nearly 30 years. At NYU law school, I participated in family law advocacy and worked for a premier mediator in New York City. I am also a trained collaborative law attorney.. From our first meeting or phone conversation, I am interested in your story and how I can best help you get where you want to go. Some of my clients have been in the passenger seat of their lives and I love empowering them to step into the driver's seat. I will listen to you compassionately but offer honest feedback so that you do not waste valuable time or financial resources. I understand finances and can offer creative solutions that you may not have thought of. I take a team approach with my clients and offer you options and suggestions that make sense for your particular situation and needs. I love children and want the best for your children, as well.. I have helped over 500 families become parents through adoption and surrogacy. I was fortunate to argue a lead pre-birth order case before the Massachusetts Supreme Court allowing my clients' names to be placed on their baby's birth certificate so they did not have to adopt their own baby who was conceived through assisted reproductive technologies.. Whether you want to adopt a child, need to explore leaving an unhappy marriage, have received a Complaint for Divorce, need child support or more parenting time, or need assistance with any other family law matter — I am available to answer your questions and determine if I am the right advocate that you want by your side.

I believe that marriage/relationships should end with the same dignity and respect that it started with. My goal for my practice is to help improve the divorce process for couples seeking to end their marriage in a manner that shall preserve their families and reduce conflict for their children. Although the romantic partnership has ended, parents need to be able to co-exist in order to raise healthy children who can manage conflict in a peaceful and productive manner. I believe the divorce mediation process is the least detrimental for families seeking to end their marriage. A public courtroom battle is not the appropriate forum to resolve your issues relating to custody, parenting times, property division and support. A confidential and private divorce/family mediation with a highly skilled divorce mediator will help expedite your divorce, while leaving a couple in control over financial and parenting decisions for their family in a cost effective manner.
