Attorney Information
Overview
At my practice, Barbara J. Katzenberg, Attorney at Law, I work to obtain positive outcomes for both men and women in the areas of divorce, child custody, property division and other family law matters.
In this work, I have a variety of resources which I can draw upon. I am a skilled negotiator, conduct mediation sessions, and vigorously litigate to achieve my clients' goals. I also work with a network of professionals in the areas of child psychology, business valuation, tax accounting and other disciplines when the need arises.
I am committed to helping each client achieve the best outcome possible.
I am an experienced Domestic Relations attorney practicing law since 1990. I graduated Boston College Law School in 1990 and spent the first eleven years in the public sector as a litigation attorney for the Department of Revenue's Child Support Enforcement Division. During my time with the Department of Revenue, I was appointed as Special Assistant District Attorney assigned to prosecute criminal non-support cases.
I started my Family Law practice in April of 2002, focused in the areas of Domestic Relations and Family Law both as a litigation attorney and a family law mediator. I have significant experience in the areas of complex financial matters and difficult custody disputes. I have also developed significant trial and appellate experience over the years.
I received my undergraduate degree from Tufts University in Early Childhood Development in 1984, my Masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University in 1986 and my Juris Doctor from Boston College Law School in 1990. I am a member of the Worcester County Bar Association and the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
