I represented a lot of people going through legal troubles.  I am providing some examples of  work I did last week.

 In Attleboro District Court, I had an OUI( drunk driving) case on Thursday that the Court allowed a probable cause motion to dismiss on the OUI and the Commonwealth agreed to dismiss the Oper. neglig. upon $200 Court Costs.  My client was pleased to have the case dismissed, no record and without  having to go to  trial.

 In Bristol Probate and Family Court, I had several cases last week.  One case involved representing a father who was seeking custody of his adolescent child.  I had filed motions and after meeting with FSO and we reached and agreement that my client would be granted sole physical custody and child support was agreed.  My client was pleased.  I also filed an emergency conservatorship and guardianship with a medical certificate that I walked in and was allowed.  It involved an elder who was having physical issues and capacity issues.  I represented the petitioner. 

Further, I represented a Husband  in a temporary motions that both parties reached an agreement that both parties were very pleased with it was a “win win” so far.  In addition, I handled a custody case in court that was continued with my client continuing with custody.  I was also in court and appointed at the request of the parties as a Guardian Ad Litem for a custody  and  parenting issues.  I was also in court and asked to represent a disabled elder regarding a guardianship case.

In Plymouth Probate and Family Court, I represented a Wife and continued a contempt case  that I filed in order to try and reach a full settlement. 

I handled an appeal for  student of a suspension by the principal at a superintendent’s appeal ( awaiting decision).

I handled a few bankruptcy cases including going to a 341 meeting in Boston( most in this area are  in Brockton) that my client’s debts were discharged.

I had two couples come in for divorce mediation.  I also worked with another attorney on an agreement that we reached on a divorce and filed two new complaints for divorce.  I also worked on several family law cases. 

I spoke to several parties in other criminal, juvenile and DCF cases.  I spoke to probation officers, DCF workers, doctors, psychiatrist and other collateral’s.

I spoke and worked on guardianship, grandparent visitation and other cases last week.

I had a normally busy week and this is an example of the types of cases that I work on trying to help people going through legal difficulties.
