When it comes to protecting your children, our legal team puts a top priority on helping your children adjust and, when needed, advocating for custody evaluations.

There are five aspects of our divorce and family law firm that make both The Massachusetts Family Law Group and Springfield Law Offices of Irwin M. Pollack unique, and a superior choice over our competitors:

1. Focus on Family Law

Divorce and family law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are constantly evolving, so rather than try to be all things to all people, the lawyers at our firm focus almost exclusively on the Massachusetts laws related to divorce and child custody.  On a typical day, 95% of our time is focused on helping clients prepare for divorce, the discovery process and property division. 

Because we focus intensely on this practice area, our legal team has developed a level of efficiency that is much more difficult for general practitioners, single attorney firms, or even larger, full-service firms to match.

2. Team Work

Our team family law attorneys meet on a weekly basis to discuss the details of each case. During these team sessions, the attorneys from each of our six offices share experiences, ask questions, and work together to address the specifics of your legal issues, bringing each attorney’s expertise to bear for every client when necessary.

After we have learned about the history of a client’s marriage, ascertained the client’s divorce goals, and gotten the pertinent financial information, we conduct team meetings at regular intervals, as well as at critical junctures in the case. Team meetings consist of lawyers, paralegals, and legal assistants. We exchange information and analyze each situation with regards to the client’s stated goals. Strategy and action plans are assessed and evaluated. If an important change in strategy is recommended, a meeting with the client is often scheduled.

When you retain an attorney from The Massachusetts Family Law Group and the Law Offices of Irwin M. Pollack, you will be represented by one of our family law attorneys, but will also gain the support and experience of an entire group of divorce lawyers at no additional cost.  For an example, if a specific divorce case involves technical aspects relating to divorce finances, our attorneys in Southern Mass. And on Cape Cod focus on the truth about divorce finances.  If another case dealt with custody investigations and Guardian Ad Litems, we generally turn to our Boston legal team.

If you have a divorce or family law matter in Springfield, Northampton, Greenfield or Pittsfield, you’ll find Attorney Irwin M. Pollack and his staff attorneys ready to zealously advocate on your behalf!

3. Focus on Children

Divorce and child custody cases can be especially challenging for children who are experiencing the break-up of a family unit. Our zealous, competent and compassionate family law attorneys will work with you to put the best interests of your children first and take this commitment very seriously.

4. Communication

In a recent survey of our clients, one of the things they said they liked the most about our firm was the excellent communication from our attorneys and staff. As our valued client, we will communicate with you and keep you updated about the developments of your case.

Because we are selective and do not represent everyone that walks through the door, our clients get the very best in customer service. It is not unusual for us to call our clients at night or to meet with them on the weekends or in the early mornings. All of our clients are given their lawyer’s personal e-mail address and direct telephone numbers.

5. Cost Control

Although our hourly rate is similar to other firms in Springfield and Western Massachusetts, we’ve earned the reputation for keeping legal fees down for three important reasons:

• Aggressive attorneys and angry spouses can escalate situations that will dramatically increase legal fees, but our firm employs techniques and processes to help diffuse these situations. Your attorney will strategize with you in order to achieve an expedient and satisfactory settlement to save you time, money and aggravation. 

• Focusing exclusively on family law makes us more efficient.  
  
• Using the latest technology allows our attorneys to work quickly and efficiently, which means saving you time and money.
