Bristol County, Massachusetts, Divorce Lawyer

There is no getting around the fact that a divorce or legal separation is not going to be emotionally easy. Many family law attorneys seem to believe that the more complex they can make things, the better off you will be. Divorce is an emotional decision. Your attorney needs to understand that your final settlement will be as much about listening to your needs, as it is about knowing how to fight for the furniture.

I am Fall River, Massachusetts, family law attorney Kenneth D. van Colen. I often find that divorce is among the most difficult of my areas of practice. People who are considering filing for divorce don't come by the decision lightly.

Often, it is after years of trying to square things emotionally with themselves or their spouses, before the realization sets in that there is no salvaging their dying marriage. When people come to talk with me about my trial experience and how I can help, they are usually already emotionally drained and need an open ear, as much as a good attorney.

We can settle things efficiently and peacefully.
We will fight hard in court if we have to.
