A Thought Leader in Massachusetts Family Law

Readers of the Lynch & Owens blog have grown familiar with Attorney Levy’s encyclopedic knowledge of family law from the dozens of long-form blogs she published on subjects, including child custody, child support, alimony, asset division and the Department of Children and Families. Her richly detailed explorations of Massachusetts family law are among the most widely read publications available online in her subject areas. Indeed, Attorney Levy is regularly told by fellow attorneys that her blogs form the basis of a successful argument used in court.

Attorney Levy’s reliable excellence is the result of hard-earned experience in the field.

She served as a prosecutor in the West Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court under S.J.C. Rule 3:03, and as a Victim and Witness Advocate for the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office, working in the Superior and Districts Courts.
