Law Firm Overview

Attorney Daniel Tremblay helps people resolve disputes in family law and civil issues with respect and dignity where long-term relations can be maintained. He uses the processes of Mediation and Collaborative Practice that are alternative dispute resolution procedures. These processes allow the disputing parties resolve their disagreement without having to litigate. This means that conflicts are resolved outside of court at least cost, confidentially and where control stays with the parties so they determine how long the dispute will last and be involved in and make all critical decisions.

Divorce is a traumatic experience for most people. Dan will give caring compassionate attention to your needs as you go through the process and look forward to a future without conflict, stress and distress. The Collaborative Practice divorce is interest based, confidential, forward looking with the interests of the family and children as the primary objective. Child support, parenting plans, (formally known as custody and visitation), removal issues, alimony and separate maintenance payments, and contempt concerns are areas that can be addressed with Collaborative Practice. Parties that use this process are rewarded with acquired skills that will be with them for a lifetime that allow them to resolve future issues with minimum stress. Trained Allied professionals are used to support the parties in the areas of coaching through tough emotional concerns. Interests of the children are gleaned by child specialists and used in decision-making. Financial specialists educate and insure the best possible allocation of the family assets.

Dan has an extensive business background both owning and managing small and medium sized businesses. He helps client's resolve contractual and employment issues. Closely held businesses have unique issues and concerns. Issues resolved confidentially though the process of Collaborative Practice give business owners and employees many advantages. These advantages include confidential resolution in a timely manner of difficult issues, and cost containment because the business owner remains in control of the process and any agreements that are made. Succession planning, partnership breakups and fiduciary duty responsibility are areas that the Law Office of Daniel M. Tremblay resolve minimizing cost in time and money.

Dan also helps Elders prepare for long term care through asset protection, estate planning, trust formation and management, and other techniques and advice that will meet their goals of protecting their homes. Dan helps Elders stay and age in their homes with dignity as long as possible. Wills, Durable Power of Attorneys, Healthcare Proxies, Advance Directives (Living Wills), Homestead Declarations, Revocable Trusts, Life Estates, Special and Supplemental Needs Trusts are drafted with skill and care to meet your goals and needs. Dan assists families in coping with the many issues of aging parents and relatives. Through mediation and other legal processes he can insure that these treasured individuals get the support and help they need to survive and thrive. When a guardianship is required to insure continued support and proper decision-making his office helps families get through the process. In emergency situations he can quickly prepare the Medicaid Application and take actions that are needed to insure public services are obtained though MassHealth and then appeals as necessary. When probate is needed Dan insures administration is done in a timely manner and gives legal advice and support to family members.
