The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently approved "limited assistance representation" (LAR) in all Probate Courts. If you have a case pending in Probate Court, LAR is an opporunity for you to hire an attorney to represent or assist you for certain court appearances, with certain parts of your case or on certain issues, while you handle the rest of your case yourself and save money on legal fees. The types of cases for which LAR is available include:
How can responsibilities be divided between the attorney and client?
LAR may involve delegating specific tasks or specific issues to the attorney while the client handles all other issues. Here are a few of the ways we can help through LAR:
Fee Arrangements By its nature, LAR allows greater flexibility in fee arrangements than is normally available with full representation. We can handle most cases on a flat fee (a one-time payment for certain legal services) or a "pay as you go" basis. The total cost for any particular service or court appearance will obviously vary, depending on how much work we need to do. If LAR is not the best alternative for you, we can also provide full legal representation. Please call us today and schedule an appointment to review your case and see whether limited assistance representation is right for you. There is no charge for an initial consultation.

For example, failure to routinely move and change a patients position can result in STAGE FOUR bedsores causing pain and even wrongful death. If you know an elder who has been injured in a nursing home you should seek the immediate help of an experienced nursing home abuse attorney.

Let us be your advocates for the safety of those who need our protection the most. We advocate and litigate for these most helpless victims. Federal and Massachusetts laws governing nursing homes give you rights to seek monetary damages.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently approved "limited assistance representation" (LAR) in all Probate Courts statewide. LAR gives litigants who cannot afford to hire an attorney a chance to get needed legal advice and assistance only on certain parts of their case while saving money on legal fees. What is "limited assistance representation"? LAR is when an attorney represents or assists a client with part, but not all, of a case or legal matter. The attorney and client must enter into a detailed written agreement defining what specific issues or parts of a case the each will be responsible for handling. LAR is also sometimes referred to as "unbundling". In what ways can responsibilities be divided between attorney and client?
LAR may involve either specific tasks or specific issues to the attorney and client. Here are a few of the ways we can use LAR to help you in your divorce or family law case:
How can you benefit from LAR? LAR can provide needed legal advice while saving you a substantial amount of money in legal fees. Here are some specific examples:
Fee Arrangements By its nature, LAR allows us to be very flexible in structuring fee arrangements, including hourly and flat fee billing. Most fee arrangements can be handled on a "pay as you go" basis. Obviously, the total cost will depend on what tasks or issues we would be responsbile for handling. If LAR is not for you, we can also provide full legal representation. Please call us today and schedule an appointment to review your case and see whether limited assistance representation is right for you. There is no charge for an initial consultation.

Settling a divorce case is never easy. But it is much harder to reach a fair settlement where one spouse understates income or fails to disclose assets. Consider the following:
Finding Hidden Assets and Unreported Income In most situations, hidden assets or undisclosed or understated income can be identified through simple discovery procedures. In more complicated financial situations - for example, where one party is self-employed or has a business - obtaining documents through discovery is not enough. You need an attorney who can analyze and interpret complex busines and financial records to determine whether income and assets have been fully disclosed. Retaining a forensic accountant might also be advisable in some cases. We have more than 25 years experience handling divorce cases where income and/or assets have not been fully disclosed or properly valued. We know how to analyze complex financial records and when expert advice from a forensic accountant will be required in order to protect your financial interests. Please call us today and schedule an appointment to review your case. There is no charge for an initial consultation. We are well aware of the financial difficulties that many people face when going through a divorce and can offer flexible fee arrangements tailored to your individual needs.

Disputes over custody and visitation should be avoided whenever possible. Litigating over custody may harm your children emotionally and create anger and resentment that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to cooperate with your spouse in the future. Unfortunately, custody disputes cannot always be avoided. You may be forced into litigating custody by an unreasonable spouse who is motivated primarily by financial concerns. Or you may firmly believe that you'll be a better custodial parent than your spouse and that fighting for custody is necessary for the best interests of your children. We have over 25 years experience handling contested custody cases and the issues frequently associated with them, including:
If you are considering divorce and believe that custody or visitation may be contested, or if you are already involved in a case where custody or visitation is contested, we can provide the experienced representation you need. Litigation can be very expensive. We know that many people going through divorce are forced to deal with financial problems while their case is pending. Therefore, we do our best to structure flexible fee arrangements which are tailored to the unique financial circumstances of each client.
