About
I graduated from Washington University in 1985 and obtained my J.D. degree from Northeastern University School of Law in 1988. I clerked for the justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court from 1988-1989 and in 1989 started practising as an lawyer with Burres Fidnick and Booth. I have become a associate at what then have become Burres Fidnick Booth and Kaufman in 1996. In 2004, after 15 years of working with my law companions I determined to begin a solo practice. Since 1989 my exercise has concentrated inside the vicinity of home members of the family. This consists of divorces, paternities, divorce modifications, work with non-traditional households, guardianships.
In 1994, I founded Amherst Mediation Services. My choice to offer mediation as an alternative to the traditional litigation machine stemmed from my years of experience in the Probate and Family Court and specially my issue that in many methods the court system turned into no longer the maximum green and great geared up system for handling own family crisis which include divorce. Mediation gives members more control over their personal destiny and works to boom instead of discourage conversation. Mediation is likewise far inexpensive and often a long way quicker than conventional litigation. However, mediation isn't always suitable in each situation. I preserve to provide my clients with criminal offerings. In my ability as an legal professional I provide offerings which are expert, courteous and touchy to my clients monetary wishes, emotional needs and family state of affairs.
