The Law Office of Joel A. Abu

Since my admission to the Massachusetts Bar in 2000 I have worked primarily in the often sensitive area of family law. In this work I have helped the indigent by frequently volunteering my services to deserving pro bono cases.

I am a firm believer in constitutional justice and provide competent legal representation, regardless of socio-economic stature. I have proudly served with the Worcester County Volunteer Lawyers Service of the Massachusetts Justice Project, the Middlesex County Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association, and the Women's Bar Association of Boston for many years.

The practice area of family law is highly varied and often complex. It can present many difficult issues to the client. I offer caring representation of the highest standard that is professional, yet personal. Whether a case can be mediated, settled out of court or if it must be pursued within the halls of justice,  I have a passion for fairness and will assume any and all legal recourses available to my clients.

Education:

- Bachelor of Arts, Economics, Framingham State College, 1990.
- Paralegal Certificate, Bentley College, 1992.
- Juris Doctor, Western State University College of Law, 1998.
