A Law Firm Devoted to Helping Families and Small Businesses in Massachusetts

We have dedicated our practice to assisting families and businesses in planning for the future, and handling their legal needs in the present. For individuals and families we offer comprehensive estate planning services. Through the use of wills and trusts we can protect your property from over taxation. Everyone should have an estate plan no matter how large or small your estate. Having such a plan will not only minimize taxes, but also ensure that your wishes are honored, that all that you have worked for is protected and properly distributed, and most importantly that your loved ones will be provided for.

Protecting Family Businesses 

With a practice focused on estate planning, we are in the business of protecting our clients' assets. Often times a client's largest asset may be the family business. In addition to crafting estate plans that encompass the family business we offer business formation and transactional services. Whether you are starting a new business, dissolving an old partnership, or buying or selling an existing business, we will make sure that articles of incorporation are properly prepared and filed, draft partnership agreements, execute purchases and sales of a business, and draft and execute contracts for the purchases and sales of goods and services. We pride ourselves on providing full service planning strategies for our clients, their families and their businesses. In addition we have extensive education and experience in tax planning and compliance. Estate planning and business transactions have inevitable tax implications. We work hard to structure commercial transactions and family estate plans in order to minimize the tax burden on our clients.

Our clients find that our ability to craft an estate plan that may include a family business, while also handling the legal and tax aspects of the plan and the business, is a real asset that allows them to have all of their legal needs met in one place, by a lawyer who knows them, their families, and their businesses. We strive to be a law firm for life for our clients.
