Sheryl J. Dennis Quoted in Second Most Read Article in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly

Attorney Sheryl Dennis was quoted in Massachusetts Lawyer Weekly’s second most read article of the year. The article discusses the feasibility of remote work from the viewpoint of a number of major law firms in the Boston area.

If you are in the office, you are much more invested in the firm and the people around you. It really is past time for people to get back in the office. It’s like ‘Casual Friday’ turned into an ‘Always Casual’ kind of thing. To some people it’s almost gotten to the point where it’s a ‘right’ to work from home.  – Attorney Sheryl Dennis

Fields and Dennis LLP Fundraiser for K9s for Warriors

Over the years Fields and Dennis have been proud to sponsor an annual holiday fundraiser for K9s for Warriors. We will be holding another holiday fundraiser through the end of the year.

K9s For Warriors is a program to reduce veteran suicide and help our warriors return to a life of dignity and independence. The program provides highly-trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD and TBI. Roughly 20 veterans die by suicide every day, and K9s for Warriors is a program backed by scientific research that aims to give back veterans their lives. The program has helped veterans reunite with their families, go back to school, find enjoyment and purpose in their lives and significantly reduce their medications.

Not only does the program benefit veterans, it also rescues dogs from abandonment and euthanasia. Many of the dogs rescued from the programs are obtained from Kill Shelters.

At Fields and Dennis, LLP, we are dedicated to supporting this compassionate program to help our Warriors recover from trauma and return to a productive and fulfilling life. We hope you can join us for our annual fundraiser.

To help support the fundraiser please click here.

Attorney Jonathan Fields to Speak at MCLEs Inheritance, Trusts & Divorce Program

Jonathan Fields will be speaking at MCLE’s Inheritance, Trusts & Divorce conference on 11/14/2022. The program is part of Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education’s support of attorneys to stay ahead of legal trends and complex issues that they face in their practice.

Estate planning attorneys and divorce attorneys will inevitably face complicated issues revolving around inheritance, trusts and divorce. These issues can often get complex very quickly. Estate planning attorneys should be prepared to understand how to protect assets in case of divorce. Attorneys should also be aware of how the courts will value a trust interest in divorce for the purposes of support or property division, and what recent legal decisions are likely to influence the outcome of these cases.

The MCLE program gives attorneys an opportunity to learn from experts in divorce, estate planning and finance who can answer many of the questions you will see in your practice.

To register for the event remotely or in person, please visit the following link:
