Protecting Your Rights - Resolving Your Concerns
Karen M. Buckley, Attorney at Law has been handling family law cases for over 20 years, first in New York and then in Massachusetts where she handles cases in all areas of family law. Attorney Buckley has a broad range of experience in all aspects of domestic relations, including everything from prenuptial agreements to modifications and possesses extensive courtroom experience, having tried numerous cases involving custody, division of assets, and support as well as prosecution and defense of restraining orders. Attorney Buckley can represent you in courts from Worcester to Bristol, Essex to Norfolk as well as Middlesex and Suffolk and is familiar with the unique practices and requirements of each of these courts and the local practices.
Attorney Buckley has learned from over 20 years experience that most cases should not be tried, but that creative, thoughtful and appropriate settlements are most often in the best interest of the client. As each family is unique, so too must be the approach to resolving a family law dispute, while being guided by the case and statutory law of Massachusetts and the known proclivities of the judge hearing the case. Attorney Buckley is able to use her knowledge of the law and her experience in the Courts to help clients reach equitable and appropriate resolutions.
Using the collaborative approach to resolving a domestic relations case can be an attractive alternative to the stress of litigation. As a trained collaborative attorney, Ms. Buckley is able to offer this approach to clients who seek to resolve their differences through advocacy without rancor.
