Divorce & Family
Burns & Levinson is the only major, full-service Boston law firm with a large and diversified divorce and family law practice.
At some time in life, virtually everyone needs advice or representation in these areas of law. Unfortunately, such a need usually comes at a time of grief, anger, or sadness. Our attorneys have the skills, knowledge, and experience necessary to handle the legal aspects of these matters. Our experience gives us an understanding of the emotional aspects as well.
Probate issues are particularly complex and varied. They run through the span of life, from adoption and paternity of children to guardianship actions to protect the interests of the aged and infirm, as well as actions to contest the validity of wills or the handling of estates. We are well-known for our ability and experience in this field of law. These cases have far-reaching ramifications and require both finely honed negotiating skills and litigation techniques.
Divorce is a complex and sensitive legal event. It not only ends a marriage, but involves important rights, obligations, and entitlements of the parties and their children. Resolving these issues, whether by agreement or litigation, requires a delicate balance of multiple factors. This often entails evaluation and division of myriad business interests, pension and profit-sharing entitlements, trusts and various investments; as well as the establishment of support obligations. Our partners and associates have many years of experience in this highly specialized field of law.
As a full-service law firm, we can better serve our clients by drawing on the expertise of attorneys who practice in other areas of law—corporate, tax, ERISA, trusts and estates, and real estate—whenever these issues arise in the context of probate and family law matters.
