We guide clients through emotionally challenging matters while prioritizing their rights and children's best interests. Our attorneys combine courtroom experience with negotiation skills to achieve favorable outcomes in property division, custody arrangements, and post-divorce modifications.

We specialize in family-based immigration, citizenship applications, and deportation defense. Our bilingual attorneys handle marriage-based green cards, I-601 waivers, and special immigrant juvenile status cases. With deep knowledge of USCIS procedures and Boston Immigration Court practices, we develop tailored strategies to help clients achieve permanent residency or citizenship while navigating complex immigration laws.
Bankruptcy
Our bankruptcy attorneys assist individuals and businesses with Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings to address financial hardship.

As a federally recognized debt relief agency, we help clients understand dischargeable debts and protect essential assets during the bankruptcy process.

We represent buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions, including condominium purchases and sales. Our services cover purchase agreement negotiation, title examination, and closing support. We also advise condominium associations on governance matters and help clients resolve property-related legal disputes with clear, practical solutions.

Our child custody practice focuses on protecting parental rights while prioritizing children's best interests. We handle custody evaluations, visitation scheduling, and modification requests with strategic advocacy.
