Jack LaPre founded our Southborough, Massachusetts law office to protect the rights of individuals and families facing a wide range of legal issues. Our firm is focused on the individual needs of every client. We understand the difficulty of facing a divorce, personal bankruptcy or the devastation you may feel if you have suffered a personal injury. We work quickly to understand your needs and will take immediate action to ensure that your rights are secure and that you obtain the best possible outcome in your case.

Jack has practiced law as a litigator for over 27 years. He has successfully protected the rights of many clients during that time. Since 1980, Jack took cases in criminal defense, family law, and civil litigation. The Bar Advocate Program brought hundreds of criminal defense cases. Jack took many of these cases (including capital punishment cases) to trial at the district court and superior court levels. In over 18 years of practice, Jack has learned how to deal with judges, witnesses, and juries, and puts his experience to use in his bankruptcy and family law practice.
