Nobody is perfect, not even judges, and occasionally legal errors occur.  At Higgins & Plante, we have extensive experience representing clients in all aspects of family law and divorce appeals in the Massachusetts Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court.  Our team, led by Attorney Nicholas J. Plante, has represented many clients in a variety of domestic relations matters at the appellate level, including divorce, custody, removal, abuse prevention orders, support, modification and contempt actions. We have represented clients seeking to either overturn a decision based on a legal error or to defend a legally correct decision. Our appellate work has resulted in reported cases that have both clarified and changed the law in Massachusetts, including Duval v. Duval, 101 Mass.App.Ct. 752 (2002) and Murray v. Super, 87 Mass.App.Ct. 146 (2015).
