Looking for a family law attorney
August 27, 2007 6:42 AM Subscribe
Can anyone recommend an attorney in the Boston, MA area who specializes in family law (specifically involving parental visitation rights) and preferably offering a free consultation? I've looked through many directories, but my inherent distrust of lawyers seems to be getting in the way.
I know this attorney and can tell you that she is intelligent and dedicated. I think you'll find most attorneys will at the very least give you a free phone consult, which they can bill to client development.

Atwood & Cherny is one of the top ones in Boston. I have referred personal friends there and they have been satisfied.

On the off-chance that you can qualify for low-income assistance, Greater Boston Legal Services offers family law services for free/cheap, depending on your circumstances.

Robin Chaykin is very good and I think will give you a free consultation. Her firm offers a great small firm feel (and rates), in contrast to a firm like Atwood. I agree with Bezuhin's assessment of the phone consults. I think most will at least do that.
