How we can help

Evictions for landlords

Most of our eviction work is for landlords and property owners. The first decision, which notice to serve, often decides whether the tenant actually leaves. When you want a problem tenant out, a 30-day notice to quit for a fault eviction is usually the stronger tool. A 14-day notice for nonpayment fits when you only want the rent, because payment, including through RAFT, ends the case. We prepare notices, file summary process cases in the Housing Court, and represent landlords at mediation, trial and move-out.

Probate

When a family member dies, someone must gather the estate’s assets, pay its debts and distribute what remains, usually through the Probate and Family Court. We guide personal representatives through each step, with or without a will, and help families avoid delays and disputes.

Civil litigation

We represent individuals and small businesses in contract disputes, real estate and property disputes, and lawsuits filed against them, from the first demand letter through negotiation, mediation and trial in the District Court and Superior Court.

Business law

We help owners form corporations, LLCs and LLPs, prepare operating and shareholder agreements, review contracts and buy or sell businesses, so the business is protected from the start.

Family law

We help clients with divorce, child custody and parenting time, child support, alimony, contempt and modification cases, and DCF matters in the Probate and Family Court and the Juvenile Court.
