Quality Family Law Representation to Help You Move Forward

Any legal issue that affects your family is deeply personal and unique. Sound legal advice tailored to protect your rights now and in the future is critical. Throughout the course of your case, we will take time to listen and understand your objectives. We will then put in place a legal strategy that is responsive to your needs, and provides effective long-term solutions.

Law

Whether you seek to adopt a child, establish marital trust and security, inquire about divorce or dissolution, or seek advice regarding division of assets or responsible parenting plans, our practice will provide vigorous, respectful representation every step of the way. We strive to handle your matter in the most efficient way by negotiating agreements out of court whenever possible. If a negotiated agreement cannot be reached, we will aggressively pursue your rights in court.
Because a favorable resolution for you is our priority, we will:

• Return calls within twenty-four hours
• Promptly respond to your questions
• Advise you regarding your legal options and potential consequences
• Keep you informed at all times

Mediation

Mediation is the process of facilitating resolution of disputes through a neutral arbiter: a person who is not empowered to impose judgment, but who is trained in getting parties to engage in productive dialogue with an aim toward settlement.

Collaborative Law

Solution-based dispute resolution strategy that does not pit the parties against each other. Instead, parties work together to raise issues and develop a mutually beneficial shared vision and plan with collaboratively trained attorneys and professionals.

At Cappelli Law LLC, our goal in mediation is to provide a controlled, safe, and respectful environment for parties to resolve their disputes. We offer neutral, professional and competent mediation services whether you need a family law mediator or an attorney to coach you through a mediation process. When a couple opts to resolve their issues through mediation, the benefits can include:

• The parties controlling the process themselves with the help of a neutral third party.
• Private family matters discussed in a safe and private setting instead of an overwhelming and oft times intimidating courthouse.
• Important joint decisions made by the parties instead of by a judge issuing an order regarding matters including personal marital agreements, children, support and division of property.
• Promotion of thoughtful communication between parties resulting in preservation of marital harmony, ongoing stability or children, and preservation of family relationships.

LGBTQ

Massachusetts is home to a very diverse community embracing many cultures, including the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community. Our firm is committed to protecting, advancing and preserving the rights of individuals in the LGBTQ community with cutting edge family law services in this rapidly evolving area of civil rights.
