Divorce and Your Future
Donovan & O'Connor, LLP, has successfully represented many people in divorce and related matters. These cases have ranged from relatively straight-forward divorces to those involving complex property division and contentious child custody disputes.
Our firm works to resolve every family law problem as quickly and efficiently as possible, while protecting our client's rights at every stage of the legal process. When representing you, we will carefully examine the facts and legal issues in your case. We will learn about your family situation and what you want your life to look like in a year, three years and five years in the future. We will then develop a legal strategy designed to achieve your goals.
In many cases, this involves the use of negotiation or mediation rather than a trial to achieve a workable yet fair resolution of issues involving child custody, property division and other matters. If the matter does not resolve through negotiation or mediation, we will represent you vigorously in litigation to protect your rights.
Attorney Brigid Hennessey is a certified domestic relations mediator and has found mediation to be an effective tool for resolving family law problems with less stress, emotional turmoil and expense compared to other legal strategies. Attorney Hennessey is the only divorce litigator in Berkshire County who is a member of the American Association of Matrimonial Lawyers.
