Jane E. DePalma

Hi. I'm Jane.  I pride myself on putting my clients at ease and helping them navigate the legal issues that occasionally come up in life. I serve clients in Massachusetts on a variety of legal matters including estate planning, business startups and family law.

My position with the Boston Police Department exposed me to an incredible variety of people and issues. I had the opportunity to represent the city in various hearings,  address employment issues and community concerns, draft legislation, and be involved in some of the historic events within our city.  I really listen to my clients and form long-term relationships so they know I will be there when they need me the most.

I've seen many people have difficult experiences with the legal system and I always believed that I could make a difference for others.

I was fortunate to have met Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia during law school and I cherish the photo I have of us. I was less fortunate to have, in my excitement, left my book bag next to his table and walked away. This resulted in a rather embarrassing and very public scolding from a member of his security team who held up the bag and loudly called for its owner. It may also have involved a bomb sniffing canine. Leaving any bags unattended next to a Supreme Court Justice is frowned upon. In my free time I love spending time with my family and taking photos.
