Westborough Family law Lawyer

Overview

Family law attorney Laurel Barraco thrives on helping people with complex divorce and family law matters. Attorney Barraco has litigated complex divorce, custody and alimony matters in nearly every county in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. “I choose to practice family law because it includes so many different disciplines,” Attorney Barraco said. “We are dealing with domestic relations, restraining orders, housing issues, business law, tax law and sometimes even constitutional issues.”

Known for being efficient and effective, family lawyer Barraco helps clients look beyond the emotional aspect of their circumstance so they can focus on the pragmatic resolution of their divorce, division of property, child custody, child support or alimony case. “I think it makes things easier – and there are better results for the client and their children – when emotions are taken out of the equation so cooler heads can prevail,” she says.

As a breast cancer survivor, Attorney Barraco understands the importance of looking beyond the emotions of the moment when it comes to doing what’s best for the future. In addition, she noted, “Having beaten cancer makes me completely unafraid of any situation that lies before me – cancer has given me the ability to fight harder for my clients.”

Laurel Barraco is a graduate of the New England School of Law and Northeastern University. Outside of work, she’s an avid runner and fitness enthusiast and New York Times crossword puzzler.

5.0 out of 5 stars

Laurel represented me in my divorce. She is so good I already referred a friend to her! What I loved about working with Laurel was her availability when I had questions, her practical expertise keeping everything on track and how she always made sure my interests, and the interests of my daughter, were the priority. Divorce is hard. Laurel helped make it better. Can?t say enough good things!

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.
