In today’s complex world and shifting economy, the importance of competent legal representation and sound attorney advice is at an all time high. Whether your needs range from family, business, probate, or other areas of law, these preferred North Shore professionals fit the bill.
McLane Law Firm
Outside of Boston, 90 Attorneys & 4 Offices
North Shore residents Bill Norman and John Colucci, both partners in Colucci Norman LLP, have been proudly serving local businesses on the Northshore for a combined forty years. Formed in 2008, Colucci Norman initially had four senior attorneys; corporate lawyers John Colucci, Bill Norman and Larry Plavnick, as well as litigator, Andrew Botti. While serving the needs of many prominent local businesses, the firm’s reputation developed as a trusted name in business law. In recent years, however, the firm’s scope of legal services has grown immensely, leading to talk of expansion.
To accomodate all of their client’s growing business needs, Colucci Norman joined forces with McLane, one of New England’s premier full-service law firms with 90 attorneys in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The combination brings their clientele instant in-house access to many of the most well-regarded legal minds in New England, who focus solely on legal areas important to business owners and their corporate needs.
“In a time when most Massachusetts firms are retracting, we’re happy to be bucking the trend,” says Steven Burke, Managing Director of the Woburn office. “It goes to show that the breadth and depth of McLane’s legal expertise and the fee structure we offer has been well received by Massachusetts businesses who are looking to control costs.” He adds, “There is also the convenience factor. There are very few full-service firms that offer clients the convenience of being located outside of the city.”
McLane’s local office is located at the TradeCenter 128 complex in Woburn. The office opened in 2008, and is undergoing its third expansion to accommodate growth. While the Woburn office seats 15 full-time attorneys, open offices and conference space are utilized as needed by the 34 other McLane attorneys who regularly serve Massachusetts clients.

Raising the Bar: The Law Offices of Judith A. Wayne and Associates
Thirty years ago, Attorney Judith A. Wayne opened a private law practice after serving as an Assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County for 3 1/2 years. She established her own firm in 1981 when it was unheard of for women to do so, let alone in the field of criminal defense. Well-known in the probate courts in Massachusetts as a divorce and family law attorney, she is also a seasoned veteran of the Boston and metro area district and superior courts and has represented several defendants in the U.S. District Court. Having tried hundreds of jury and jury-waived trials, Attorney Wayne and her associates excel in the fields of domestic relations and criminal defense.
Attorney Wayne represents a wide cross-section of clients, including high-profile members of the Boston Bruins and New York Yankees. More typically, however, Attorney Wayne’s firm is a gender neutral domestic relations and criminal defense practice. In addition to the numerous criminal and domestic cases she has tried, she drafts cohabitation agreements for couples not contemplating marriage. (http://www.judithwaynelaw.com/CM/Articles/Beyond-The-Standard-Pre-Nuptial-Agreement.asp) Attorney Wayne is a certified conciliator in Essex County probate and district courts and conciliates in the small claims session of Lynn District Court. In addition to her legal experience, Attorney Wayne was the producer and host of “Legal Ease,” a television show which covered topics ranging from gun control to driving under the influence, on a Boston area cable channel. She recently served as legal advisor on a WBZ-TV news segment. In addition, she has been member of the Board of Trustees of a prestigious Boston law school since 1987.

A Boutique Law Firm on the North Shore: Goddard, Scuteri &
Delaney
“We pride ourselves on our large client base that comes mainly from referrals from other attorneys, who trust our skills and judgment.”
While their offices overlook Salem Harbor, the attorneys at Goddard, Scuteri & Delaney have little time to enjoy the view. Since 1986, GS&D has been representing select small businesses and individuals on the North Shore. GS&D was formed when Charlie Goddard, Jeff Scuteri and Tom Delaney joined together with the goal of becoming the foremost litigation law firm on the North Shore. With the introduction of Jennifer Scuteri and Laura Goddard, GS&D has added expertise in Estate and Business Planning, Criminal Defense and Domestic and Family Law.
Personal Injury/Insurance Litigation and Defense: Whether an injury has been caused by an auto accident, a defective product or some other negligent conduct, our trial lawyers have well-earned reputations among insurers for aggressively and respectfully obtaining just compensation for our clients. GS&D stands out from our competitors – we represent both the injured and insurance companies who want to defend these matters. This gives us unique credibility with our counterparts and with the Courts.
Estate Litigation: GS&D offers clients a team of lawyers recognized among their peers and in the probate court as being among the most distinguished, experienced, and successful litigators in the field of trusts, estates, and guardianships.
Business Planning and Litigation: GS&D has the experience and depth to handle all business concerns from formation to the negotiation and buy-out of partners.
Estate Planning: Whether it is a simple Will, a Partnership to transfer the family business to future generations or a Trust to protect your hard-earned assets from a Medicaid lien, our lawyers can design an estate plan to address any family’s needs.
Charlie Goddard, a Hamilton resident, is considered the Dean of the Trial Bar on the North Shore and was appointed by the Supreme Judicial Court to serve as Chair of the Client’s Security Board. Jeffrey Scuteri, who also lives in Hamilton with his wife, Jennifer, continues to obtain significant client decisions despite the struggling economy. Tom Delaney, a Danvers resident, also persists in his successes in all courts in the Commonwealth. Jennifer Scuteri advises clients on the ever-changing estate laws and works with closely-held and family businesses; she is also a Hamilton Selectman. Laura Goddard lives in Salem and has a significant following in domestic relations and personal injury.

Mazow|McCullough, PC
Welcome to the Practice of
Law in the New Millennium
To be the best in your field, you have to stay ahead of
the times and distinguish yourself from the competition.
The moment you step into the loft of Mazow|McCullough, PC, you know you aren’t in a typical lawyer’s office. There are glass walls, exposed brick and beams, and an original grain elevator dating back to the days when Daniel Low & Company sold dry goods. The walls aren’t lined with dusty law books or faded degrees. Instead, there are photographs of trial exhibits that have helped secure justice for their clients.
Robert Mazow and Kevin McCullough met in court in 2001 when they went up against each other in a criminal case. Robert was practicing criminal law, and Kevin was an assistant district attorney. While Kevin still doesn’t like to talk about who won the case, the good chemistry between the two lawyers was obvious. Following the trial, they joined in a partnership dedicated exclusively to representing injured people. Their experience as prosecutors and insurance defense lawyers proved the perfect foundation.
Kevin and Robert agreed that their practice would be different from any in the area. “We wanted to make sure that our clients, all of whom are in crisis when they see us, feel that we are on their side,” says Mazow. “We intentionally designed our offices and practice so that clients immediately feel comfortable.” Adds McCullough, “When we meet with a client, we understand that he or she is experiencing trauma. Emotional, physical or otherwise, we make sure the clients know we are different from any lawyers they may have used in the past.”
Kevin and Robert also bring their personable approach when litigating cases. Rob has more than 100 jury trials. Watching him at trial, it is easy to see that he relates to juries the same way he speaks with clients—in an understanable and cogent way. He talks to juries, looks them in the eye, and doesn’t oversell his case.
Kevin’s experience as a prosecutor, insurance defense lawyer and insurance adjuster is also invaluable in the firm’s work in injury law. His intimate knowledge of the insurance business sets him apart in his ability to win cases for deserving clients. He is considered an expert in the field of insurance bad faith law and is often retained by other attorneys to provide expert testimony.
Together the team of Mazow|Mc-
Cullough, PC, represents a level of skill, knowledge and experience unrivalled in the region. Additionally, they both have a deep and abiding passion for helping injured people achieve the justice that allows individuals to move ahead their lives.

Perocchi Family Law Group, LLP
We have over twenty years’ experience in family law.
The Perocchi Family Law Group, LLP, located in North Andover, Massachusets provides the full spectrum of family law services, including trial representation, mediation, and general counsel to clients involved in divorce, modification, paternity, and post-judgment proceedings in the Probate and Family Courts. The firm is lead by the two principals, Joyce G. Perocchi and Paul P. Perocchi, both fellows of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
Joyce was a partner in a Boston law firm where she concentrated in family law. She founded the firm in 2003, seeing a need for quality legal services in the area of family law outside of the center of Boston for those clients who do not wish to drive into the city. She serves as a conciliator for the Essex and Middlesex Bar Associations. She is regularly listed as a Super Lawyer in the field of family law by Boston Magazine, has been named as one of the top 50 female lawyers in Massachusetts by Boston Magazine, and is consistently listed in the Best Lawyers in America in family law.
Paul is one of the veterans of family law in Massachusetts. He co-wrote the seminal article about alimony and property division following the enactment of the principal statute on these subjects. He later headed the family law department of a large Boston firm for 25 years, where he specialized in complex litigation including business valuations, tax ramifications of divorce, and custody determinations. Paul joined Joyce as a partner in 2009. He is one of only 6 Massachusetts family law attorneys who has been listed in the publication Best Lawyers in America every year since that book’s initial publication in 1983. He is consistently noted as a SuperLawyer in family law by Boston Magazine. Paul and Joyce lecture frequently and have written many articles on custody, trial practice, motion practice, and other topics.
Peter J. Jamieson and Cynthia Grover Hastings are associates with the firm. Peter earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School where he was named the William J. Daniel Most Outstanding Advocate. Cynthia was selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers – Rising Stars 2008. After graduation, both Cyndi and Peter worked as law clerks to the Probate and Family Court.
Divorce is emotionally difficult. It is our goal to ensure that each client is well prepared for the process, whether traditional litigation or mediation, to ensure the best possible result.

Annette Baker Doolin
How’s Your Marriage? Maybe you have a few questions…
You deserve to be happy. If you are reading this, you have problems enough without having to worry about when you are going to hear back from your lawyer. I put my clients first, period. Many of my clients retained me after they became dissatisfied with the unreturned phone calls and halfhearted courtroom representation that they received from their original counsel. They would have saved themselves a lot of frustration and money if they had retained me in the first place. My divorce and family law referrals come not only from past satisfied clients, but from past opponents too and that’s the best recommendation a lawyer can get.
You will benefit from my expertise and steadfast advocacy to help you start moving in a positive direction. Your case will not be handed off to a less experienced associate or paralegal, that’s just not the way I treat my clients.
I achieve many favorable outcomes through negotiation, but whenever the prospects of an agreement break down, I have no hesitation about taking your case to court. The transition from an
atmosphere of compromise to one of attack and defense can be abrupt, and my ability to handle this change can represent an important advantage for you.

Designer boutiques, multiple concert venues, and one of the highest numbers of restaurants per capita in the US. Sound like paradise? Actually, it’s right here on the North Shore. Portsmouth, New Hampshire is packed with culture, the arts, and a vibrant nightlife. Those who live and work here know the city is about enjoying life’s pleasures, be it great wine, perfectly cooked burgers, abstract art, or a full-flavored cigar. And we haven’t even mentioned the beer. Portsmouth is home to not one, but three craft breweries, with a variety of summer seasonal brews just waiting to be enjoyed. What better place to spend a weekend away this summer? Here’s the insider’s guide you’ve been waiting for to experience the ins and outs of this unique, happening city.
Fashionistas flock to Bliss, a designer boutique with some of the hottest names in the industry. You’ll find labels like Susana Monaco and Chulo Pony, designer denim (like 7 For All Mankind and Paige Premium Denim), and more. This ready-to-wear selection has gotten Bliss’s sister shop in Portland noticed in fashion mags like Marie Claire and Lucky, while Serendipity—just a few blocks away—sports a more bohemian vibe. Trendy pieces from Free People, Language, Green Dragon, and Pink Lotus fill the store with light fabrics, flattering shapes, and splashes of color—all perfect ingredients to spice up your summer wardrobe.
For those looking to be one with nature, we recommend Portsmouth Kayak Adventures. Head out to Little Harbor on the evening of July 3 for stunning views of the Portsmouth fireworks from your kayak below, or paddle to a tranquil beach respite for a revitalizing yoga class, led by local instructors. These are just some of the tours available from Portsmouth Kayak Adventures for beginner, intermediate, and advanced kayakers, allowing you to explore the coastal city from its many waterways.
No visit to Portsmouth is complete without a trip to The Portsmouth Brewery. Beer lovers come from all over to sample the fresh, delicious craft beers exclusively brewed and served here. “We sort of stay away from big strong beers during the summer, just because, you know, they’re not very thirst-quenching,” says head brewer Tod Mott. What can you expect? Wheat beers in all their glory. Portsmouth brews Weizenheimer (an American-style wheat beer) and Hefeweizen (German-style), plus an off-shoot of the two dubbed the Thaizenheimer, made with kafir lime leaves, lemongrass, and ginger. Mott’s pick, though, is the Belgian Wit. “You’ve got both bitter and sweet orange peel, and then coriander and a little bit of pepper,” says Mott. “And it makes for such a really great thirst-quenching beer.”
Speaking of the Caribbean, if you can’t make a trip to the islands, The Blue Mermaid is the next best thing. Serving fresh creative combinations, like Plantain Encrusted Cod or Seafood Tagine (sautéed salmon, cod, and mahi mahi with curried tomatoes in a rich coconut fish stew), this restaurant is bound to make you try something new. Order the White Peach Sangria or the Typhoon Margarita, made with Cuervo Gold, Cointreau, sour mix, orange juice, and a splash of Grand Marnier—each a refreshing complement to your island dish of choice.
