About us

Beth’s education and experience reflect her long-standing interest and commitment to helping families along multiple facets.  After graduating with a BA in Psychology from Georgetown University, Beth obtained her JD from Boston College Law School and an MSW from Boston College Graduate School of Social Work.

While her career is focused in law, Beth’s background in psychology and social work have informed her connection with clients, child-focused family law work, and ability to finesse complex family dynamics, whether in divorce, adoption, prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, guardianships, estate planning, or probate matters.

When not at the office, Beth enjoys writing fiction and making beaded jewelry.

Testimonials

Our Principles

1. Right to Self Determination
There are often many process options for proceeding in a legal matter or resolving conflict. Not all options are right for all clients. We help clients evaluate choices for process or resolution so the result reflects their own voice and participation.

 

2. Informed Consent
We recognize that many factors may be considered with each step of any legal process. Clients may have legitimate reasons for pursuing a particular outcome, even if that outcome differs from a typical Court result. We support clients in making fully informed choices to reach solutions that work for them.

 

3. Conservation of Resources
We assist clients with their legal issues while striving to help them conserve their valuable resources: emotional capital, time management, relationship preservation, and of course financial output.
