Maria Rockwell focuses her practice on all aspects of probate and domestic relations cases as well as all aspects of civil appeals. She works with clients from the initial interview through settlement negotiations, trial, post-judgment motions, appeals and collection of judgments. Clients turn to Maria not only to protect their interests, from custody to proper distribution of estate post-separation, but also to guide them through challenging life changes.

Several of Maria’s cases have resulted in published decisions in the Massachusetts Appeals Court and Supreme Judicial Court. The Probate and Family Court has appointed Maria to represent incompetent litigants and serve as guardian ad litem to investigate and report to the Court involving matters relating to wills, trusts, probate accounts and child related issues in custody disputes.

Maria currently serves on the Committee for Public Counsel Services’ Children and the Law Program appellate panel. She has participated in numerous continuing legal education programs and also served on a panelist on seminars relating to paternity, guardianships and trusts.
