Divorce and Family Law in Chelmsford, MA
Family law matters are often emotional, stressful, and deeply personal. Russman & Phinney Law represents clients with separation, parenting schedules, child support, property division, alimony, and related concerns.
For Chelmsford families, these issues may involve long-term decisions about children, finances, housing, and future stability. Our attorneys work with clients to help them understand their rights, prepare for important decisions, and approach the process with a clear strategy.
We assist clients with both contested and uncontested divorce, always keeping the client's goals and family circumstances in mind.
Child Custody and Parenting Issues
Parenting issues can be one of the most difficult parts of a family law case. Parents may need help addressing parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, communication issues, relocation concerns, holiday schedules, or changes to an existing order.
Russman & Phinney Law helps parents in Chelmsford and surrounding communities work through custody and parenting matters with careful attention to the child's best interests and the practical needs of the family.
When possible, these issues may be resolved through negotiation. When that is not possible, our attorneys are prepared to help clients protect their rights and present their concerns clearly.
Estate Planning, Wills, and Trusts
Estate planning is not just for later in life. It is an important step for anyone who wants to protect their family, clarify their wishes, and make future decisions easier for loved ones.
Russman & Phinney Law assists with estate planning involving wills, trusts, powers of attorney, health care proxies, and related planning documents.
A well-prepared estate plan can help address questions such as who will make decisions if you cannot, how your assets should be handled, who should care for minor children, and how to reduce confusion for your family in the future.
Estate planning can also be especially important after major life changes, including marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, the purchase of a home, retirement planning, or the loss of a loved one.

An OUI or DUI charge in Massachusetts can create immediate stress and uncertainty. You may be worried about your license, court dates, insurance consequences, your job, or what the charge could mean for your future.
An OUI / DUI case may involve questions about the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, breath test results, police reports, license consequences, and possible defense strategies. Our attorneys review the circumstances of the charge, explain how the Massachusetts process works, and help clients understand the options available in their case.
If you were charged with OUI in or near Chelmsford, it is important to speak with an attorney who can review the facts of your case and help you understand what to expect.
