This is a team of highly experienced divorce and family law attorneys and support staff. Most of our attorneys have 15-30 years of experience, with each member having individual expertise and unique litigation experiences. We have certified financial litigators, guardian ad litems, an ARC counsel, a collaboratively trained attorney, and mediators among the team. We have two associate attorneys with 0-3 years of experience to whom partners and senior attorneys may delegate work. The associates also have their own caseloads, including serving our reduced-income Justice for All program, providing mentoring opportunities for our senior staff. Our existing paralegal team is highly capable and experienced in Massachusetts family law and members support each other as needed given the workload. Paralegals typically support 2-4 attorneys. This team is not only highly capable - they are highly supportive of the organization and each other.

Turco Legal has grown to one of the state's largest and most sophisticated family law boutique firms. We have attorney and support staff teams based in our Newburyport and Boston offices, with satellite offices in Andover and Newton.
