The Boston law firm of Atwood & Cherny has received national recognition as one of the leading family law firms in the country. Founded in 1984 by partners Jacob M. Atwood and David E. Cherny, the firm concentrates its practice in the area of sophisticated divorce matters. While it is a relatively small firm by Boston standards, its services are very much in demand.

The firm provides a wide range of services to its clients at all stages including negotiations, pre-trial, trial and appellate work. Many of the firm’s cases have been leading cases in the Appellate Courts of Massachusetts in such areas as child custody, pre-marital agreements, division of marital assets and alimony. In addition, the firm handles the negotiation and drafting of pre-marital agreements, as well as other related cohabitation and “living together” contracts in which clients maintain the protection and privacy that they desire in their relationships. The advent of same-sex marriage and civil unions will further expand the firm’s practice in these areas.

The main focus of Atwood & Cherny’s practice is to maintain the excellent professional standards in high asset value domestic disputes and complicated custody litigation.

We also have expertise in the area of Alternative Dispute Resolution - (Mediation, Collaborative Law and Arbitration), and can assist in the areas of Court Appointed Masters, Conciliators and Guardian Ad Litems.
