Family law matters are rarely just legal matters. Divorce, custody disputes, child support, and other family law issues can affect the most important areas of your life: your finances, your children, your home, and your future.

You deserve an attorney who will listen to what matters to you, explain your options clearly, and help you make informed decisions about what comes next.

Marissa L. Prescott, Esq. is a Massachusetts family law attorney. She represents clients throughout the Commonwealth in divorce and family law matters, with an emphasis on responsible advocacy and practical resolutions.

What our Clients say:

“Marissa was much more than just my lawyer, she kept me in check with realistic expectations, was understanding and empathetic throughout the process, and advocated for what was right with facts. She was able to hear my frustrations and moments of feeling like the court system was not working and transcribe them into solutions. She was very quick to respond and understood my budget being thoughtful of when she was needed and when I could do things without her services. Marissa made going through a difficult sometime messy process as bearable as divorce can be.”

“I have been working with Attorney Prescott for the last few years. She was instrumental in helping my son navigate a tough and challenging custody situation. When we first reached out to her, she was amazing at listening to my son and being able to relate to his situation in a professional and respectful way. He was still in college and there was so much that we didn’t understand about the situation he was  in. She took the time to explain step by step what we needed to know and how to manage through the complexity.  Over these last few years, as the situation shifted, she was so key in meeting with us and listening to us and most importantly, to be able to tell his side of the story. She is practical and pragmatic and a very skilled negotiator. She has a very busy schedule, but made us feel like we were her sole focus these last few years. We cannot thank her enough for being in our corner and helping assure a positive outcome for my son and his daughter. Attorney Prescott is simply amazing and I am beyond grateful that we found our way to her.”  

 

“Marissa took the time to truly understand the complexities of my case, never treating it as just another file but as a deeply personal situation that required thoughtful strategy. From our first conversation, she listened, asked the right questions, and helped me see the full scope of my options. She didn’t just give me legal answers—she worked with me to explore possibilities, weighing the risks and benefits. Her ability to see the nuances of my situation made all the difference, and I always felt like I had a strong, knowledgeable advocate in my corner who truly “got it.” I am incredibly grateful for her expertise and support.”
