Hingham, MA family law attorney Carmela M. Miraglia shares the philosophy that guides her practice. She emphasizes that in her cases, her primary focus with clients is to listen and ensure they feel understood. Divorce is an incredibly difficult time, and clients need to know that their concerns are heard and that she is advocating on their behalf. She strives to convey to her clients that she understands their perspective and is doing everything possible to improve their situation.

She believes the most important role a family law attorney can play is to truly listen to the client and make sure their position is clearly presented—whether to the court, if the case goes that route, or at least to the opposing party. Many individuals involved in divorce or family litigation feel unheard, so it is crucial for them to know that their voice is being represented and that the other side is at least acknowledging their concerns, even if full agreement or understanding is not achieved.
