Property Division There's No Substitution For Experience

Property Division Lawyer in Attleboro

Protecting Clients’ Interests throughout the Greater Boston Area

Each state approaches property division differently. In Massachusetts, property and assets are divided according to the law of "equitable distribution." This means that each party is awarded property and assets in an equal and fair manner, but not necessarily 50-50. While the courts are guided by this law, it is possible to pursue the property to which you believe you are entitled during a divorce. Attorney Brian D. Roman, an experienced Attleboro property division lawyer, can help.

Need more information about how property and assets may be divided in your specific situation? Call (508) 576-5922 now or contact Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law online.

Property & Assets Subject to Division

There is a wide range of property and assets that are subject to division during the divorce process, including:

  • Primary residences
  • Vacation homes
  • Real property
  • Personal property
  • Bank accounts
  • Retirement accounts (including 401(k)s and IRAs)
  • Stock options and employee benefits
  • Offshore accounts

Any property and assets that were acquired during the course of the marriage are considered marital property and are subject to division. Separate property may not be divided, though parties may argue over whether or not it was actually separate. Any property protected by a prenuptial agreement stays with the individual parties.

Protecting Your Rights & Property

Though it may be possible to divide property after a divorce through a modification order, this is an unusual situation. It is more likely that you will be expected to abide by the provisions and asset allocation set forth in your divorce decree. This is why it is so essential to have an attorney on your side who fully understands your needs, goals, and the laws that govern the division of property.

Brian D. Roman, Attorney at Law offers more than two decades of experience handling all aspects of divorce and family law, including property division. Mr. Roman’s insight into these cases can be beneficial to you, providing you with a straightforward and realistic view of how a property settlement may be presented or negotiated, or how a judge may award property if the divorce proceeds to court.

    "He is great in a clinch!"
    While visiting our daughter a legal matter turn up and set us reeling. I found Brian Romans name on my cell phone internet first as a familiar nearby town & It was a Columbus Day weekend. I left a brief voice mail and was so surprised when he called me back. He listened and talked me through the problem. He said if his ideas didn't work out he would be happy to represent us. I hung up with him feeling great comfort. We were able to help our daughter. It was a false accusation that we were able to prove. When I let Brian know how we persevered and WON. He was just as happy as if he were part of the family. I would definitely tell anyone who hires him that he will stand by their side. He is great in a clinch! An old fashion term 'a struggle or scuffle at close quarters, especially in boxing'. IF trouble finds you call Brian Roman.

    "Steve Gave Me Good Direction"

    Brian successfully defended me in a bogus criminal case, and then He consulted with me and gave me good direction in approaching a potential personal injury case. I will definitely go back to him, but hope I don't need to!

    "Very pleased with the conclusion"
    Brian worked on a tricky case my son was involved in. Even with some self inflicted glitches in the road, he was able to get a great resolution in what could have been a very unsettling ending. He knows the law and walked us through every step of the way. Very pleased with the conclusion.

    "Would call on a regular basis with updates or any news he had heard"
    I was a minor who had gotten into a little bit of trouble, and that's how I met Brian. He was hired to help me with my case and he did an excellent job. Most lawyers just talk for you and that's it, but Brian always kept me in the loop. He would call me on a regular basis with updates or any news he had heard of. He also kept what we talked about between us and not with my family which to me is a huge trust factor. He also helped me beat both cases and still keeps in touch to see how I'm doing today. Overall great attorney and I would definitely recommend him.

    "Very honest recommendations on how to handle the problem that would be in OUR best interest"
    I had never needed a lawyer before & I had no idea where to start. My daughter had gotten herself into a bad situation & we needed to find some immediate guidance. I found AVVO & then came across Brian Roman. I left a message on his voicemail & was pleasantly surprised when I received a callback, from Brian himself, within a very short time. Brian fit in a consultation with us that same night. He went over our situation and instead of recommending what would have been the most beneficial route for him (going into a court battle), he gave us some very honest recommendations on how to handle the problem that would be in OUR best interest. He proceeded to help us through the ordeal over the next week or so, calling numerous times just to see how things were going and was always available to text or call his cell. He charged us a reasonable rate for providing legal documentation, that made both parties happy and resulted in the best possible outcome of the situation. So glad I found Mr. Roman. He guided us through a very stressful time & did what was best for us! 
    THANKS AGAIN BRIAN!

    "He kept his word to me and that means everything"
    I contacted Mr. Roman to represent me in a divorce case. From the start, he focused on my situation in great detail. I did feel confident that he would work very hard to fight for justice in my situation. I am very, very satisfied with the outcome, he could not have done a better job. He is a very kind and extremely honest attorney - he kept his word to me and that means everything!!

    "Reassuring, Articulate, Knowledgeable, Effective"

    The thing that impressed me right away was the fact that when I called attorney Roman on Easter Sunday morning, he answered the call himself unlike others. My experience with att. Roman was nothing but exceptional. Att. Roman knowledge and experience was key to have my case successfully dismissed. I am glad to have had such an affective attorney representing me! Highly recommended!!!
