Boston Family Lawyer
Family law is an especially complex corner of the legal system, not only because of how contentious cases between family members can be but also because of how subjectively the law, as written, can be interpreted by courts. Even if you follow every procedural rule, convincing a court to issue an order or judgement that serves your interests can be challenging to accomplish alone.
Fortunately, you do not have to navigate a complex family matter without the dedicated legal assistance you deserve. With help from a Boston family lawyer, you could more effectively protect your rights both in and out of court without having to worry about procedural mistakes or unexpected complications.
Common Family Law Issues in Boston
About half of all marriages end in divorce, and the ending of a marriage can lead to both strong disagreements and complex legal procedures. In addition to guiding you through fulfilling the procedural requirements for divorce, a seasoned legal representative could also play a crucial role in resolving family matters like property division, child custody, and spousal or child support.
Additionally, a hardworking legal team member could help with more than just the actual divorce proceedings. Well in advance of any marital trouble or vows being exchanged, our team could help an engaged or newlywed couple set boundaries and address potential future disputes through comprehensive prenuptial or postnuptial agreements.
After a divorce occurs, a family attorney could represent one’s best interests during a motion to modify the terms of an existing divorce agreement. Finally, a family attorney in Boston could help any family who wants to adopt within the U.S.

Why Is Retaining Independent Legal Counsel Important?
While the term “family law” might suggest emotionally charged divorce proceedings and tense disputes over custody rights or support obligations, not every case that goes before a family court is antagonistic. It is not uncommon for family court cases to proceed calmly and with all parties being on the same page.
That does not mean, however, that you can get away with sharing an attorney with your partner. Even if everyone wants the same result, it is essential for each party to have their own legal representation throughout each stage of the proceedings, not just to protect themselves from being taken advantage of but also to reassure the court that any agreements made outside court are fair and legally valid. If you need to retain your own family lawyer, our Boston team could provide the dedicated guidance you need.
Attorney Benjamin won my respect right from the introductory meeting and continues to deliver great solutions every step along the way. His acumen has earned my complete confidence in him.
One question is often asked when you divulge your divorce: “You have a good lawyer?”. I have a good lawyer.
Attorney Benjamin always returned an inquiry whether by phone or email, which I greatly appreciated. I was always informed every step of the way. Meeting in person was always friendly and informative. I highly recommend him.
James Benjamin was my attorney for a divorce that was long and complex.
He is professional, kind, and very good at explaining the different options and what he thinks is the right way to tackle something.
He helped me get through a very difficult situation and helped me to advocate for the best interest of my child. I found him to be honest and straightforward in figuring out what to do.
I can’t say enough good things about him and highly recommend him!
The firm was always available to address my concerns. My email and phone calls were replied to /answered promptly. They have my utmost recommendation. My case went smoothly and timely.
I had a complicated and acrimonious divorce that had been lingering in the courts for over 2 years. Within a few months of taking on my case, James was able to reach a settlement agreement. He was also the only attorney I dealt with, over the course of the case, who I felt truly understood how important it was for me to continue to be an active parent for my children, and also understood what this practically entailed for the settlement terms. I will be forever grateful for his considerate and professional management of my case.
Attorney Geller and the Geller Benjamin, LLP legal team helped me understand the requirements and procedures every step of the way during my immigration filings and wait times. Attorney Geller is responsive to questions and accessible for consultation throughout the petition process. I am very appreciative of the team’s legal services.
James handled the sale of a property for us. It was a difficult transaction but he kept us informed and continued to submit changes to the buyer as needed. He has also taken care of my family’s wills. He is very easy to work with and his follow through is impeccable.
Jacob is a very knowledgeable lawyer who is punctual and extremely responsive. Jacob expressed professionalism during my application process to become a U.S. citizen, keeping me informed and up to date every step of the way. Thank you so much Jacob for all of your hard work!
Attorney Benjamin comes highly recommended! He is knowledgeable in family law and relentless in his defense of your rights. He recently represented me in a child support matter and did so effectively. I will be seeking his services in other upcoming matters as well.
Jacob helped me during one of the most difficult time in my life. His understanding and dedication to my divorce helped to make it a little easier. He is also fluent in Spanish which was a big plus; do to my emotions every time I couldn’t explain myself he would talk to me in Spanish and that would make me smile and it would help me relax. Jacob is not only a great attorney but an excellent human being.
I was fortunate to find James. He recently helped me with complex family financial legal issues. He is very technically knowledgeable and(as the review below states): “he is impeccable in his follow through” – he never left me hanging without returning calls or getting things done and was very always supportive. I have been a CPA for over 35 years and have worked with many lawyers. He is unquestionably one of the most competent attorneys I have met, while, at the same time, also being the most responsive to his clients’ needs. I felt protected and understood.
I hired Jacob D. Geller to help me to remove the conditions of my Green Card, based on divorce (divorce after a good-faith marriage). Jacob was transparent, confident, and accessible through the entire process. At the end, I had the conditions removed, even without the need to go for the famous interview with an immigration officer, which saved me a lot of worries. I am deeply tankful for his professionalism and commitment with my case. I highly recommend Jacob D. Geller and his team to work on your case.
James Benjamin served as my mother’s divorce lawyer in Boston, MA. From the very start he presented us with various options on how to tackle it while always giving his guidance on what he felt was the best option for her, but still allowed her to make the final decisions.
My mom is extremely happy with the end results and would highly recommend his services to anyone. He always responded promptly whether by email, text, or phone call. He explained the situation and any terms, new vocabulary and even the possible outcomes of how the case could go. He dealt with everything so we would not have to and we are extremely appreciative of it!
I would like to send Jacob my sincerest and heartfelt gratitude and pray for his commitment and assistance towards my successful green card application. I would not have been able to achieve my complex goal of US legal permanent residency without Jacob’s help and expertise. It was only through his high competence level, expert knowledge of the field, seemingly tireless work days (and nights!), incredibly ardent attitude, and positive energy throughout the process moving forward that my wife and i were able to stand where we do now. I have nothing but high remarks and reviews for Jacob and his firm. Jacob all I can say is thank you and you’re the best at what you’re doing. I will recommend Jacob Geller a zilllion time for your immigration case. and he is a super nice Guy.🙏🙏🙏 Much respect mister Geller Jacob.
