About Kevin Heffernan
Mr. Heffernan’s client-centered approach is backed by serious legal expertise. Since graduating from law school in 1997, he has acquired irreplaceable experience in housing, family, and divorce law over the course of his career. He understands the critical importance of preparation, and the nuances of the various courts and judges that often change the outcomes of cases. He was the housing attorney for Community Legal Aid in Springfield, Massachusetts, and then learned the other side of the law by working for a small firm that primarily represented landlords. He has successfully started his own law firm twice, first in Portland, Maine, and now in Boston.
He has 18 years of litigation experience, advocating for clients in family law, divorce law, child custody and child protection cases and has represented almost 100 tenants and landlords in a wide variety of housing law cases.
Advocating for Children and Families
Mr. Heffernan is a fierce and determined advocate with a record of success in family and divorce law. He has conducted jury trials and successfully appealed two cases to the state’s supreme court. He has prevailed in numerous sophisticated cases such as child removal, interstate kidnapping, and child abuse and neglect. He has zealously represented parents in protecting their children by obtaining sole physical custody for clients whose spouses are unfit. He is well-versed in the dynamics of substance abuse and mental illness, which so often play a role in custody cases, and is familiar with the various psychological experts in metropolitan Boston whose testimony is critical in determining the outcome of these disputes.
