Because of our focus, we are able to handle divorce and family law cases effectively, yet cost-efficiently. From your first phone call to our law firm, you’ll see a difference. Our lawyers are down to earth, approachable and accessible.
The Decision to Divorce
Have you tried to reconcile with your partner? That should be one of the first questions a good attorney asks before he or she takes your case. It’s amongst the first that any of our lawyers ask somebody who contacts us about getting a divorce.
If you’ve tried talking your differences through, or if you’ve tried counseling and it looks like none of it is doing any good, then the next question you must answer is whether the marriage is, in fact, irretrievably broken. If so, then you’re ready for divorce and the next set of questions:
- Have you discussed divorce with your partner and, if so, do you both agree to divorce?
- Have the two of you reached specific agreement as to your property and debt distribution,custody & parenting plan, alimony and tax implications of divorce?
- How long have you been married? What are your ages? Are there any children born of the marriage? Do you and your spouse own any real estate? Are either of you disabled?
Your answers to these questions will dictate how long it will take to get you divorced and how much it is going to cost.
If you and your spouse agree on every point, you can proceed on an uncontested basis and file a joint petition for divorce. This is by far the easiest and least expensive way to obtain a divorce.
If there are issues you cannot agree on, you’ll face what we refer to as a “contested” divorce. Learn more about contested divorce from our sister-firm The Massachusetts Family Law Group.
Divorce Lawyers Handling Uncontested Cases in Massachusetts for a Flat Fee
We offer flat fees for our uncontested divorce representation. The fees associated with an uncontested divorce depend upon the issues in the case. For cases in which the parties do not have children or property, we charge a flat rate of $1,750 for a one month turnaround. If you have children, own real estate, need to calculate child support or alimony, or absolutely need a much quicker divorce, we can still help! Learn About Our Services and Fees
Other than court costs, you won’t pay anything else! Your rate includes all meetings, phone calls, e-mails, correspondence, drafting, court appearances and negotiation. Our clients appreciate the predictability of one “package” rate.
Our Founder, Attorney Irwin M. Pollack says, “Our goal is to take the fear, dread, and mystery out of divorce. One thing that people fear about divorce and attorneys is the cost. When it comes to uncontested divorce, alleviate some of your fears by telling you in advance what your case will cost.”

A Tradition of Helping Individuals From All Walks of Life
Our attorneys have counseled and represented clients from nearly every line of work, race, economic background, and family relationship. Although each client is unique, the great likelihood is that we have represented many clients just like you. Our past and current clients include:
- Business owners, entrepreneurs, social workers and food servers, doctors, teachers, engineers, fire fighters, fitness trainers, and librarians.

We know the various court procedures, Judges and Opposing Attorneys in every Massachusetts County!
There will be many law firms that tell you they have experience. Unfortunately, these firms may only handle cases in one or two counties. We have experience in each one of Massachusetts’ Probate and Family Courts. The strategies that work in Springfield, before one particular Judge, might be disastrous in Cambridge. Because of our varied experiences, we understand the varied procedures of different Courts in Massachusetts.
Remember This...
Though our lawyers make every attempt to cost-effectively resolve your case through a fair settlement, there are times when the opposing party won’t cooperate.
You can only proceed with an uncontested, joint petition for divorce if you and your partner agree on all aspects of your divorce. If you cannot, you will need to proceed on a contested basis where one of you files a Complaint for Divorce.
If you’ve been served with a complaint, or the two of you cannot agree on the issues, press here.
