Overview
First established in January 1991, the firm now known as Witmer, Karp, Warner & Ryan LLP is well known in the Boston legal community as one of the top family law firms in Massachusetts. We have been listed for many years in the Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. The nine attorneys at the firm provide representation in a wide variety of contexts, including divorce, paternity and other family law matters. Our attorneys have become highly skilled in the areas of child custody and support, alimony, property division and premarital agreements.
The firm has an active probate litigation and equity practice and our attorneys have gained substantial experience in will contests and other probate cases. Our attorneys regularly participate as teachers and panelists in educational programs sponsored by Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. (MCLE), bar associations and Boston area law schools.
The firm's four partners and five associate attorneys are dedicated to providing clients with the highest quality of legal representation. We are sensitive to the emotional issues affecting clients who are in the divorce process or involved in other litigation. The firm is committed to resolving cases in a dignified, cost-effective manner and, where appropriate, encouraging clients to explore methods of alternative dispute resolution.
In addition to offering legal representation in family law and probate litigation, the firm has extensive experience in the area of business and franchise law.
