Kathleen graduated from Suffolk University Law School in 1978 and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1978.

Committed to providing ongoing education and support to colleagues in the area of domestic relations law, Kathleen was on the faculty of the Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education Family Law Trial Advocacy Workshop for over a decade. She was also a guest lecturer at Family Law classes at Boston College Law School and Suffolk University Law School.

Since its inception in 2002, Kathleen has been a member of Senior Partners For Justice, a pro bono project founded by Hon. Edward M. Ginsburg after his retirement as an Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Probate and Family Court.

Kathleen is now a certified family law mediator and is building her mediation practice. She believes that it is important for parties involved in family law matters to think about the advantages of using the mediation process to come to an agreement, as it usually less expensive, quicker and  more satisfactory to work though issues to resolution rather than have a court impose one.

In her office, you will be provided a safe, comfortable place to talk about your concerns and points of view, where each person has the absolute right to call a “Time Out” if he/she feels that it is needed. Especially when the parties have children, it is her hope that by participating in the mediation process, you will be able to find a new, more peaceful way to communicate as you will always be parents, even though you will no longer be married or living together. Please call for to discuss whether mediation might be helpful to you and your family.
