Attleboro Family Law Attorney
At Pollis & Duggan, we offer representation in a variety of areas designed to address the legal issues faced by individuals, families, and businesses. We invite you to contact our firm for a free consultation in any of the following practice areas.
Estate Planning
As a family-run law firm focused on helping other families, we encourage people to consider estate planning services that protect their assets and provide for future generations.
Elder Law and Medicaid Planning
It is never too early to begin planning for long-term care. We strive to preserve your assets to the greatest extent possible.
Probate and Estate Administration
People chosen to be the executor of a will generally know they are being given the duty. However, people are often surprised at the amount of work it requires. We provide legal guidance to minimize the work of the executor.
Wills, Health Care Proxies, Powers of Attorney, and Trusts
We provide people with estate planning tools designed to protect their assets, provide for their family, and give directives in the event they cannot speak for themselves regarding medical care.
Family Law
Our firm offers comprehensive representation in family law matters including same sex marriage, domestic violence, adoption, and grandparents' visitation.
Divorce
We are vigorous advocates for our clients' rights during the divorce process. We strive to reach marital settlement agreements that allow all parties to feel comfortable with their future.
Property Settlement and Child Support
Financial issues such as division of property and child support payments are crucial matters in a divorce proceeding. We seek fair division and child support that provides for the children.
Custody, Out-of-State Custody, and Visitation
We address issues regarding where the children will live, which parent will make important decisions, and how much time each parent will spend with the children.
Post-Judgment Modification and Contempt
Our firm represents clients who wish to make changes to a divorce order, contest proposed changes to a divorce order, and clients who need to file a complaint for unpaid child support.
Criminal Defense
As a family run law firm, we understand the seriousness of a criminal matter than can affect your entire family. We protect the rights of people who are charged with drunk driving, simple drug possession, traffic violations, and other crimes.
Personal Injury
If you have been hurt by the negligence of another person, whether in a car accident or on a dangerous property, we will pursue maximum and fair compensation for those injuries. If you would like to speak with a lawyer about the advisability of filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, we are able to refer clients to qualified attorneys who can help you.
Real Estate
Our firm represents residential and commercial real estate clients during transactions such as home closings and in disputes such as land use disputes. Real property is often the single largest investment an individual has, and we strive to protect that investment.
Foreclosures
We provide legal assistance to banks and other lenders that hold mortgages in real property. We represent lenders in Land Court during the foreclosure proceeding.
Bankruptcy
The decision to file for bankruptcy may be one of the hardest decisions an individual or couple needs to make. Our firm helps people file for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We focus on the future—it is possible to save your house, keep your car, and reorganize your finances.
Business and Contract Law
Small business owners appreciate the long-term relationships we develop and maintain. These relationships allow our attorneys to address issues throughout the course of the business's life.
