About Us

Our name says it all– at Foundations Family Law & Mediation Center, we only practice family law. It’s our bread and butter, what gets our blood pumping, and jazz hands waving. Practicing family law is meaningful work, and has real-world consequences of the most intimate parts of our clients’ lives. We are passionate and experienced in this area of law, and intentionally pour all of our efforts into improving our practice in this one particular niche. Because to us, there’s nothing more important than family.

Family law cases are about you, your life, and your family. Your case is not “just another file” on our desk. You, the person, matter to us. Not only are we wildly committed to helping you achieve your legal goals, we also want your experience with our firm and staff to be as enjoyable as possible. To this end, we have implemented several policies and processes to empower you as the client. You can book your own meetings with your attorney through a calendar scheduling program. You will have 24/7 electronic access to your case file. And, perhaps most importantly, responsiveness to our clients is a top priority and we have a dedicated Client Concierge who is always available to speak with you and will proactively contact you at designated times throughout your case. Because when you need a family law question answered, we know how important it is to connect with you as soon as possible.

Instead of amping up the animosity in your case (and your legal fees) with unnecessary aggression, demands, or threats directed towards the other side, we lead with respect, reasonableness, and professionalism to resolve your matter with the least amount of conflict as possible (because you probably have enough of that as it is). This certainly doesn’t mean that we cower to bullies (domestic abusers and narcissists, we’re looking at you), but in our experience, “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” With this in mind, we lead with a "litigation as a last resort" mindset and prioritize settlement negotiations and alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation and conciliation where appropriate. This philosophy saves time, money, unnecessary stress, helps to preserve co-parenting relationships, and empowers you to keep control of the terms of your case instead of a stranger (the judge) deciding them for you.

All Foundations Family Law clients have exclusive access to our Purple Cloud Power Partners Program, a truly holistic, team-based approach to divorce in Massachusetts. We surround you with a carefully vetted team of legal, financial, emotional, and family professionals — working together with your attorney — so every part of your life is supported through divorce. These are the same experts that our attorneys would choose for their own divorce cases. Because when so much is at stake, that level of trust matters.
