I was introduced to Mindy through a lifelong friend when I was in deep trouble with a never ending conflict with my ex. Mindy offered direct and practical advice that allowed me to avoid the never ending cycle of attorney's fees with no solution and ongoing conflict. She represented me through a number of complex complaints and always provided advice that was appropriate for the circumstances. In our most recent battle, Mindy recognized the futility of a protracted battle and recommended High Conflict Parenting Courses. I was skeptical at first, but after completing the course (a lengthy process), the war is over and I am now working with my ex to draft a completely new Agreement (without any attorney involvement). If you are smart, Mindy will be the best attorney you can hire (I have had several over the years). If you want to keep fighting with your ex about any and every thing that comes up, she will be the same as an other attorney. The key difference is that Mindy will be very clear with you about what to do and if you listen to her, you will arrive at a great outcome. I was lucky to find her and if you are unfortunate enough to need a family law attorney, choosing Mindy will be a great decision!
I know attorney Markvan for more than 10 years. She assisted my divorce case 10 years ago, and represented me on multiple complaint for contempt and one complaint for modification cases. Although my case was not a very complicated one, my ex has been very mean, acting very badly, and doing all kind of dirty tricks to make my visitation and parental time difficult and expensive. Plus I worked and lived more than 2000 miles away from my son, that added a lot more pain and frustration. Fortunately attorney Markvan knew and worked on my case since day one, she has been very knowledgeable, considerate and supportive on my case. She was always very responsive with her good insights and practical advice with sound legal grounds. I could not attend all the hearings due to long distance, but attorney Markvan still sufficiently represented me and fought for my parental rights and my son's best interests without compromise. She is not afraid of taking a tough stand facing the other side. Thanks to attorney Markvan's vision, courage, and perseverance, plus my own efforts, I maintained the strong bonding and connection with my son during his critical growth period. I highly recommend attorney Markvan.
I’m from Dallas, TX. I have a daughter in Massachusetts. I be going through up and downs with my daughter mother for years. She would cancel plans I made with my child every time she get upset with me. She made all the final decisions with my daughter, even tho I’m good father. There were times she kept my daughter away from me because of her anger to me. I traveled to Massachusetts many times and she stop me from seeing my daughter because of her frustrations with me. I hired Ms. Markvan and all my prayers was answered. I got visiting rights. I put my self on child support. And honestly all the BS decrease by 80%. Me and my daughter mother still not at our best. But going to court and hiring Ms. Markvan was worth every penny. I went through these ups and downs for 7 years before I took my daughter mother to court. I wish I would’ve did it sooner. Ms. Markvan is not just an attorney, She is an attorney that’s passionate about her client. She was there not just legally but like a big sister. Im forever grateful for her services.
Mindy is a very capable and experienced family law attorney who has a good understanding of all steps of the divorce process in Massachusetts. She knows how to negotiate an effective settlement, and she also has enough experience at trial that she can capably explain outcomes and options to you throughout. I recently finished an unfortunately contentious divorce. It wasn't easy, but with Melinda's representation and advice, I felt a lot more like I understood the scary and alienating court procedures. We had more emergency temporary hearings than I care to count right now, and Mindy capably showed up to every one, and helped ensure just outcomes. When both me and my ex were finally were all humbled enough to want to settle, her insight into writing settlements was very useful. She helped take our thoughts, and draught them into terms that worked. She was particularly careful of the kinds of vagueness or confusing terms that she has seen cause conflict in the past. She helped us avoid these mistakes. Thanks to our well written settlement agreement, my ex-wife and I are getting along better now than we have in years. This is great. It brings me and my ex peace of mind, but more importantly it helps my children grow up in a supportive environment from both parents; and isn't that everyone's goal here? Thank you Mindy. Without hesitation, I recommend Mindy to anyone getting divorced, needing separate support, or modifying a custody order. It won't be pleasant, but it will be far better with her on your side.
I have been a defendant in a very contemptous divorce and custody battle. I asked for custody of my daughter and the permission to relocate back to Europe. My case has been initially managed by another attorney who let me down many times and I had to look last minute for a new attorney, one who would need to be ready in few months for my two day trial date. Mindy was recommended to me and from the first moment we met I knew that she had a very different approach than the other attorneys I interviewed: she truly cared for my case. Mindy went out of her way to meet with me and use our limited time to the maximum. She grasped my complicated case within a short time and turned around the entire situation which looked dire at that point. She filed very professional and very knowledgeable motions (which is a skill on itself) and prepared me for trial to the point that I was able to enter the court with confidence. We won the trial hands down thanks to Mindy's hard, detailed work. Even after the trial Mindy remained in touch with me supporting me on the matter of appeal. I highly recommend Mindy as one of the best family law attorneys I have met in the Boston area. If you are looking for a person that cares, is detail oriented, able to manage your complicated emotions during divorce, empathetic and very knowledgeable, do hire Mindy.
Melinda Markvan made one of the most unwelcome events in my life tolerable.
Mindy was a great help during this tough process! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and it made talking about the issues a lot easier! I was informed throughout the process on what to expect and was a great help because I was lost and clueless at times. Over all I don't think i could of done it without her and I owe her a Huge Thank you
I would highly recommend Atty Markvan to represent someone in a divorce proceeding. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and seeks to build consensus with the opposing counsel to reach an amicable settlement.
Melinda is an extremely respectful and courteous person. She made the process calm and as painless as it could be. She worked quickly and was very knowledgeable about laws and regulations even as they were changing during my divorce proceedings. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring a divorce lawyer.
I hired Melinda after consulting with several local divorce attorneys in my area. During the initial interaction/consult, I was very emotional, and she calmly listened to my case and was able to succinctly and clearly describe the process and outline my legal options in a way that no one else could. She was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and importantly to me, compassionate to my situation. I knew immediately she was the right lawyer for me. Majority of our interaction was via phone or email. She was always available and responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. She drafted my separation agreement, and handled my non-contested divorce case with great attention to detail and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Melinda unreservedly. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.

It brings me and my ex peace of mind, but more importantly it helps my children grow up in a supportive environment from both parents; and isn't that everyone's goal here? Thank you Mindy. Without hesitation, I recommend Mindy to anyone getting divorced, needing separate support, or modifying a custody order. It won't be pleasant, but it will be far better with her on your side.
I have been a defendant in a very contemptous divorce and custody battle. I asked for custody of my daughter and the permission to relocate back to Europe. My case has been initially managed by another attorney who let me down many times and I had to look last minute for a new attorney, one who would need to be ready in few months for my two day trial date. Mindy was recommended to me and from the first moment we met I knew that she had a very different approach than the other attorneys I interviewed: she truly cared for my case. Mindy went out of her way to meet with me and use our limited time to the maximum. She grasped my complicated case within a short time and turned around the entire situation which looked dire at that point. She filed very professional and very knowledgeable motions (which is a skill on itself) and prepared me for trial to the point that I was able to enter the court with confidence. We won the trial hands down thanks to Mindy's hard, detailed work. Even after the trial Mindy remained in touch with me supporting me on the matter of appeal. I highly recommend Mindy as one of the best family law attorneys I have met in the Boston area. If you are looking for a person that cares, is detail oriented, able to manage your complicated emotions during divorce, empathetic and very knowledgeable, do hire Mindy.
Melinda Markvan made one of the most unwelcome events in my life tolerable.
Mindy was a great help during this tough process! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and it made talking about the issues a lot easier! I was informed throughout the process on what to expect and was a great help because I was lost and clueless at times. Over all I don't think i could of done it without her and I owe her a Huge Thank you
I would highly recommend Atty Markvan to represent someone in a divorce proceeding. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and seeks to build consensus with the opposing counsel to reach an amicable settlement.
Melinda is an extremely respectful and courteous person. She made the process calm and as painless as it could be. She worked quickly and was very knowledgeable about laws and regulations even as they were changing during my divorce proceedings. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring a divorce lawyer.
I hired Melinda after consulting with several local divorce attorneys in my area. During the initial interaction/consult, I was very emotional, and she calmly listened to my case and was able to succinctly and clearly describe the process and outline my legal options in a way that no one else could. She was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and importantly to me, compassionate to my situation. I knew immediately she was the right lawyer for me. Majority of our interaction was via phone or email. She was always available and responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. She drafted my separation agreement, and handled my non-contested divorce case with great attention to detail and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Melinda unreservedly. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.
I was introduced to Mindy through a lifelong friend when I was in deep trouble with a never ending conflict with my ex. Mindy offered direct and practical advice that allowed me to avoid the never ending cycle of attorney's fees with no solution and ongoing conflict. She represented me through a number of complex complaints and always provided advice that was appropriate for the circumstances. In our most recent battle, Mindy recognized the futility of a protracted battle and recommended High Conflict Parenting Courses. I was skeptical at first, but after completing the course (a lengthy process), the war is over and I am now working with my ex to draft a completely new Agreement (without any attorney involvement). If you are smart, Mindy will be the best attorney you can hire (I have had several over the years). If you want to keep fighting with your ex about any and every thing that comes up, she will be the same as an other attorney. The key difference is that Mindy will be very clear with you about what to do and if you listen to her, you will arrive at a great outcome. I was lucky to find her and if you are unfortunate enough to need a family law attorney, choosing Mindy will be a great decision!
I know attorney Markvan for more than 10 years. She assisted my divorce case 10 years ago, and represented me on multiple complaint for contempt and one complaint for modification cases. Although my case was not a very complicated one, my ex has been very mean, acting very badly, and doing all kind of dirty tricks to make my visitation and parental time difficult and expensive. Plus I worked and lived more than 2000 miles away from my son, that added a lot more pain and frustration. Fortunately attorney Markvan knew and worked on my case since day one, she has been very knowledgeable, considerate and supportive on my case. She was always very responsive with her good insights and practical advice with sound legal grounds. I could not attend all the hearings due to long distance, but attorney Markvan still sufficiently represented me and fought for my parental rights and my son's best interests without compromise. She is not afraid of taking a tough stand facing the other side. Thanks to attorney Markvan's vision, courage, and perseverance, plus my own efforts, I maintained the strong bonding and connection with my son during his critical growth period. I highly recommend attorney Markvan.
I’m from Dallas, TX. I have a daughter in Massachusetts. I be going through up and downs with my daughter mother for years. She would cancel plans I made with my child every time she get upset with me. She made all the final decisions with my daughter, even tho I’m good father. There were times she kept my daughter away from me because of her anger to me. I traveled to Massachusetts many times and she stop me from seeing my daughter because of her frustrations with me. I hired Ms. Markvan and all my prayers was answered. I got visiting rights. I put my self on child support. And honestly all the BS decrease by 80%. Me and my daughter mother still not at our best. But going to court and hiring Ms. Markvan was worth every penny. I went through these ups and downs for 7 years before I took my daughter mother to court. I wish I would’ve did it sooner. Ms. Markvan is not just an attorney, She is an attorney that’s passionate about her client. She was there not just legally but like a big sister. Im forever grateful for her services.
Mindy is a very capable and experienced family law attorney who has a good understanding of all steps of the divorce process in Massachusetts. She knows how to negotiate an effective settlement, and she also has enough experience at trial that she can capably explain outcomes and options to you throughout. I recently finished an unfortunately contentious divorce. It wasn't easy, but with Melinda's representation and advice, I felt a lot more like I understood the scary and alienating court procedures. We had more emergency temporary hearings than I care to count right now, and Mindy capably showed up to every one, and helped ensure just outcomes. When both me and my ex were finally were all humbled enough to want to settle, her insight into writing settlements was very useful. She helped take our thoughts, and draught them into terms that worked. She was particularly careful of the kinds of vagueness or confusing terms that she has seen cause conflict in the past. She helped us avoid these mistakes. Thanks to our well written settlement agreement, my ex-wife and I are getting along better now than we have in years. This is great.

Fortunately attorney Markvan knew and worked on my case since day one, she has been very knowledgeable, considerate and supportive on my case. She was always very responsive with her good insights and practical advice with sound legal grounds. I could not attend all the hearings due to long distance, but attorney Markvan still sufficiently represented me and fought for my parental rights and my son's best interests without compromise. She is not afraid of taking a tough stand facing the other side. Thanks to attorney Markvan's vision, courage, and perseverance, plus my own efforts, I maintained the strong bonding and connection with my son during his critical growth period. I highly recommend attorney Markvan.
I’m from Dallas, TX. I have a daughter in Massachusetts. I be going through up and downs with my daughter mother for years. She would cancel plans I made with my child every time she get upset with me. She made all the final decisions with my daughter, even tho I’m good father. There were times she kept my daughter away from me because of her anger to me. I traveled to Massachusetts many times and she stop me from seeing my daughter because of her frustrations with me. I hired Ms. Markvan and all my prayers was answered. I got visiting rights. I put my self on child support. And honestly all the BS decrease by 80%. Me and my daughter mother still not at our best. But going to court and hiring Ms. Markvan was worth every penny. I went through these ups and downs for 7 years before I took my daughter mother to court. I wish I would’ve did it sooner. Ms. Markvan is not just an attorney, She is an attorney that’s passionate about her client. She was there not just legally but like a big sister. Im forever grateful for her services.
Mindy is a very capable and experienced family law attorney who has a good understanding of all steps of the divorce process in Massachusetts. She knows how to negotiate an effective settlement, and she also has enough experience at trial that she can capably explain outcomes and options to you throughout. I recently finished an unfortunately contentious divorce. It wasn't easy, but with Melinda's representation and advice, I felt a lot more like I understood the scary and alienating court procedures. We had more emergency temporary hearings than I care to count right now, and Mindy capably showed up to every one, and helped ensure just outcomes. When both me and my ex were finally were all humbled enough to want to settle, her insight into writing settlements was very useful. She helped take our thoughts, and draught them into terms that worked. She was particularly careful of the kinds of vagueness or confusing terms that she has seen cause conflict in the past. She helped us avoid these mistakes. Thanks to our well written settlement agreement, my ex-wife and I are getting along better now than we have in years. This is great. It brings me and my ex peace of mind, but more importantly it helps my children grow up in a supportive environment from both parents; and isn't that everyone's goal here? Thank you Mindy. Without hesitation, I recommend Mindy to anyone getting divorced, needing separate support, or modifying a custody order. It won't be pleasant, but it will be far better with her on your side.
I have been a defendant in a very contemptous divorce and custody battle. I asked for custody of my daughter and the permission to relocate back to Europe. My case has been initially managed by another attorney who let me down many times and I had to look last minute for a new attorney, one who would need to be ready in few months for my two day trial date. Mindy was recommended to me and from the first moment we met I knew that she had a very different approach than the other attorneys I interviewed: she truly cared for my case. Mindy went out of her way to meet with me and use our limited time to the maximum. She grasped my complicated case within a short time and turned around the entire situation which looked dire at that point. She filed very professional and very knowledgeable motions (which is a skill on itself) and prepared me for trial to the point that I was able to enter the court with confidence. We won the trial hands down thanks to Mindy's hard, detailed work. Even after the trial Mindy remained in touch with me supporting me on the matter of appeal. I highly recommend Mindy as one of the best family law attorneys I have met in the Boston area. If you are looking for a person that cares, is detail oriented, able to manage your complicated emotions during divorce, empathetic and very knowledgeable, do hire Mindy.
Melinda Markvan made one of the most unwelcome events in my life tolerable.
Mindy was a great help during this tough process! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and it made talking about the issues a lot easier! I was informed throughout the process on what to expect and was a great help because I was lost and clueless at times. Over all I don't think i could of done it without her and I owe her a Huge Thank you
I would highly recommend Atty Markvan to represent someone in a divorce proceeding. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and seeks to build consensus with the opposing counsel to reach an amicable settlement.
Melinda is an extremely respectful and courteous person. She made the process calm and as painless as it could be. She worked quickly and was very knowledgeable about laws and regulations even as they were changing during my divorce proceedings. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring a divorce lawyer.
I hired Melinda after consulting with several local divorce attorneys in my area. During the initial interaction/consult, I was very emotional, and she calmly listened to my case and was able to succinctly and clearly describe the process and outline my legal options in a way that no one else could. She was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and importantly to me, compassionate to my situation. I knew immediately she was the right lawyer for me. Majority of our interaction was via phone or email. She was always available and responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. She drafted my separation agreement, and handled my non-contested divorce case with great attention to detail and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Melinda unreservedly. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.
I was introduced to Mindy through a lifelong friend when I was in deep trouble with a never ending conflict with my ex. Mindy offered direct and practical advice that allowed me to avoid the never ending cycle of attorney's fees with no solution and ongoing conflict. She represented me through a number of complex complaints and always provided advice that was appropriate for the circumstances. In our most recent battle, Mindy recognized the futility of a protracted battle and recommended High Conflict Parenting Courses. I was skeptical at first, but after completing the course (a lengthy process), the war is over and I am now working with my ex to draft a completely new Agreement (without any attorney involvement). If you are smart, Mindy will be the best attorney you can hire (I have had several over the years). If you want to keep fighting with your ex about any and every thing that comes up, she will be the same as an other attorney. The key difference is that Mindy will be very clear with you about what to do and if you listen to her, you will arrive at a great outcome. I was lucky to find her and if you are unfortunate enough to need a family law attorney, choosing Mindy will be a great decision!
I know attorney Markvan for more than 10 years. She assisted my divorce case 10 years ago, and represented me on multiple complaint for contempt and one complaint for modification cases. Although my case was not a very complicated one, my ex has been very mean, acting very badly, and doing all kind of dirty tricks to make my visitation and parental time difficult and expensive. Plus I worked and lived more than 2000 miles away from my son, that added a lot more pain and frustration.

I would highly recommend Atty Markvan to represent someone in a divorce proceeding. She is very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and seeks to build consensus with the opposing counsel to reach an amicable settlement.
Melinda is an extremely respectful and courteous person. She made the process calm and as painless as it could be. She worked quickly and was very knowledgeable about laws and regulations even as they were changing during my divorce proceedings. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone requiring a divorce lawyer.
I hired Melinda after consulting with several local divorce attorneys in my area. During the initial interaction/consult, I was very emotional, and she calmly listened to my case and was able to succinctly and clearly describe the process and outline my legal options in a way that no one else could. She was clearly knowledgeable, competent, and importantly to me, compassionate to my situation. I knew immediately she was the right lawyer for me. Majority of our interaction was via phone or email. She was always available and responded to my inquiries in a timely fashion. She drafted my separation agreement, and handled my non-contested divorce case with great attention to detail and kept me informed every step of the way. I recommend Melinda unreservedly. You will not be disappointed if you hire her.
I was introduced to Mindy through a lifelong friend when I was in deep trouble with a never ending conflict with my ex. Mindy offered direct and practical advice that allowed me to avoid the never ending cycle of attorney's fees with no solution and ongoing conflict. She represented me through a number of complex complaints and always provided advice that was appropriate for the circumstances. In our most recent battle, Mindy recognized the futility of a protracted battle and recommended High Conflict Parenting Courses. I was skeptical at first, but after completing the course (a lengthy process), the war is over and I am now working with my ex to draft a completely new Agreement (without any attorney involvement). If you are smart, Mindy will be the best attorney you can hire (I have had several over the years). If you want to keep fighting with your ex about any and every thing that comes up, she will be the same as an other attorney. The key difference is that Mindy will be very clear with you about what to do and if you listen to her, you will arrive at a great outcome. I was lucky to find her and if you are unfortunate enough to need a family law attorney, choosing Mindy will be a great decision!
I know attorney Markvan for more than 10 years. She assisted my divorce case 10 years ago, and represented me on multiple complaint for contempt and one complaint for modification cases. Although my case was not a very complicated one, my ex has been very mean, acting very badly, and doing all kind of dirty tricks to make my visitation and parental time difficult and expensive. Plus I worked and lived more than 2000 miles away from my son, that added a lot more pain and frustration. Fortunately attorney Markvan knew and worked on my case since day one, she has been very knowledgeable, considerate and supportive on my case. She was always very responsive with her good insights and practical advice with sound legal grounds. I could not attend all the hearings due to long distance, but attorney Markvan still sufficiently represented me and fought for my parental rights and my son's best interests without compromise. She is not afraid of taking a tough stand facing the other side. Thanks to attorney Markvan's vision, courage, and perseverance, plus my own efforts, I maintained the strong bonding and connection with my son during his critical growth period. I highly recommend attorney Markvan.
I’m from Dallas, TX. I have a daughter in Massachusetts. I be going through up and downs with my daughter mother for years. She would cancel plans I made with my child every time she get upset with me. She made all the final decisions with my daughter, even tho I’m good father. There were times she kept my daughter away from me because of her anger to me. I traveled to Massachusetts many times and she stop me from seeing my daughter because of her frustrations with me. I hired Ms. Markvan and all my prayers was answered. I got visiting rights. I put my self on child support. And honestly all the BS decrease by 80%. Me and my daughter mother still not at our best. But going to court and hiring Ms. Markvan was worth every penny. I went through these ups and downs for 7 years before I took my daughter mother to court. I wish I would’ve did it sooner. Ms. Markvan is not just an attorney, She is an attorney that’s passionate about her client. She was there not just legally but like a big sister. Im forever grateful for her services.
Mindy is a very capable and experienced family law attorney who has a good understanding of all steps of the divorce process in Massachusetts. She knows how to negotiate an effective settlement, and she also has enough experience at trial that she can capably explain outcomes and options to you throughout. I recently finished an unfortunately contentious divorce. It wasn't easy, but with Melinda's representation and advice, I felt a lot more like I understood the scary and alienating court procedures. We had more emergency temporary hearings than I care to count right now, and Mindy capably showed up to every one, and helped ensure just outcomes. When both me and my ex were finally were all humbled enough to want to settle, her insight into writing settlements was very useful. She helped take our thoughts, and draught them into terms that worked. She was particularly careful of the kinds of vagueness or confusing terms that she has seen cause conflict in the past. She helped us avoid these mistakes. Thanks to our well written settlement agreement, my ex-wife and I are getting along better now than we have in years. This is great. It brings me and my ex peace of mind, but more importantly it helps my children grow up in a supportive environment from both parents; and isn't that everyone's goal here? Thank you Mindy. Without hesitation, I recommend Mindy to anyone getting divorced, needing separate support, or modifying a custody order. It won't be pleasant, but it will be far better with her on your side.
I have been a defendant in a very contemptous divorce and custody battle. I asked for custody of my daughter and the permission to relocate back to Europe. My case has been initially managed by another attorney who let me down many times and I had to look last minute for a new attorney, one who would need to be ready in few months for my two day trial date. Mindy was recommended to me and from the first moment we met I knew that she had a very different approach than the other attorneys I interviewed: she truly cared for my case. Mindy went out of her way to meet with me and use our limited time to the maximum. She grasped my complicated case within a short time and turned around the entire situation which looked dire at that point. She filed very professional and very knowledgeable motions (which is a skill on itself) and prepared me for trial to the point that I was able to enter the court with confidence. We won the trial hands down thanks to Mindy's hard, detailed work. Even after the trial Mindy remained in touch with me supporting me on the matter of appeal. I highly recommend Mindy as one of the best family law attorneys I have met in the Boston area. If you are looking for a person that cares, is detail oriented, able to manage your complicated emotions during divorce, empathetic and very knowledgeable, do hire Mindy.
Melinda Markvan made one of the most unwelcome events in my life tolerable.
Mindy was a great help during this tough process! I felt very comfortable from the beginning and it made talking about the issues a lot easier!
