=========================
In addition, Find Law has some excellent information regarding Family
Law, divorce, and domestic violence at:
http://www.massbar.org/lawhelp/legal_info/?sw=3124&full_id=182
=======================
I chose those above because of their known advocacy of fairness and
women's rights in domestic and family law areas. If you wish to search
for others who you might find more to your personal liking, I would
suggest usingi Find Law's search function and looking at the
qualifications of female attorneys in the Boston area.
The search function is at:
http://www.findlaw.com/06associations/state.html
You can use "Boston" "Massachusetts" "Family Law" and check
"attorney", instead of "firm" to get the names.
===============
I used the University of Arizona Law Library resources and Find Law
online to research this issue.
I hope this helps in your search.
Best wishes,
Serenata |
