About us

Our mission is to offer legal guidance that customers can trust, knowing we are listening and give considered legal options to resolve complex legal matters.

Why choose DJT Law

We are a general practice office, emphasizing estate planning, probate, and all aspects of buying and selling residential real estate. We provide a unique combination of knowledge, experience and compassion where issues of elder and real estate law intersect. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN NOT BEING TRANSACTIONAL LAWYERS. A transaction attorney views their clients as a one and done. We view our clients as a relationship building experience with an eye at future experiences. Very often our real estate clients become estate clients and vice versa. Our clients feel confident working with us because they know that we are committed to delivering truly personalized attention — just like law practices provided a century ago! We have been serving families in Belmont and surrounding towns as far as Worcester and MetroWest Boston since 1992. We look forward to serving you!
