How we help
Eight practice areas. Done thoroughly.
We've narrowed our practice on purpose — so the work we do, we do exceptionally well, and the people we help know us by name.
Real Estate
Buying, selling, refinancing, or untangling a title. We handle the closing so you can focus on moving in.
- Residential closings
- Title examination
- Purchase & sale review
- Refinancing
Estate Planning
Wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and probate. The hard conversations, made simple — and the paperwork, made airtight.
- Wills & trusts
- Healthcare proxies
- Probate & estate admin
- MassHealth planning
Elder Law
MassHealth planning, the five-year lookback, and protecting the family home. The hardest conversations, made simple, and planned early enough to matter.
- MassHealth planning
- Irrevocable trusts
- Protecting the family home
- Crisis planning
Business Law
Small business is personal business. We help local owners form, run, and grow their companies — the boring paperwork that quietly keeps everything else humming.
- Entity formation
- Contracts & agreements
- Buy-sell agreements
- Commercial leases
Litigation & Disputes
Disputes that won't resolve themselves — contracts, property, consumer matters. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial, then settle smart when it's the right call.
- Contract disputes
- Property & real estate
- Consumer protection
- Small business matters
Personal Injury
Hurt because someone else was careless. We take over the insurance company, the paperwork, and the deadlines — on a contingency fee, so there's no fee unless we recover.
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Falls & unsafe property
- Dog bites
- Wrongful death
Probate
Someone has died and the estate has to be settled. We take the filings and the deadlines off the family — and where there is a house to sell, the probate and the closing happen in the same office.
- Informal & formal probate
- Voluntary administration
- Personal representative duties
- Selling estate real estate
Not sure
where you fit?
Most matters touch more than one area. Tell us what's going on — we'll help you sort it out, no charge for the first conversation.
Why neighbors choose us
We're not a big firm.
We're not a big firm.
That's on purpose.
No. 01
One attorney, start to finish
No handoffs to junior associates. The person you meet at the consultation is the person who sees your matter through — phone calls, court dates, and all.
No. 02
Plain English, always
Legal work is complicated; talking about it shouldn't be. We explain what's happening, why it matters, and what comes next — in language you can repeat to your spouse over dinner.
No. 03
Flat fees where we can
For closings, simple estate plans, and most family law matters, you'll know what it costs before we start. No surprises on the invoice.

David Clermont
Partner · Suffolk Law '09
David joined the practice in 2012 and became a partner in 2022. When he's not in the office, you'll find him coaching youth sports or with his wife and four kids.
Before Clermont Law, David practiced civil litigation and complex products liability in Boston. He is secretary of the West Elementary School PTO in Andover, volunteers with the Merrimack Valley Housing Partnership and the D'Youville Life & Wellness Community, and still plays in the Over Thirty Baseball League out of Lowell.
The office itself is older than his time in it. David's father, Joseph C. Clermont, opened the practice in 1986 and is still in a few days a week on long-standing matters. David handles the day-to-day now, and he is the attorney you will work with on yours.
