Every Case Handled Personally

You've found someone who will listen first and guide you every step of the way.

Our Firm's Story

Surette Law PLLC was founded on a simple idea: family law clients deserve an attorney who's genuinely present — from the first phone call through the final judgment — not passed between staff or left wondering what happens next. Samantha built this firm to do things differently: honest assessments, personal attention, and a steady focus on helping every client reach a stable, secure next chapter.

Samantha represents Massachusetts families in divorce, custody, and support matters, with particular focus on complex asset division and spousal support for clients navigating divorce later in life. A graduate of New England Law | Boston, she has been licensed to practice in Massachusetts since 2019 and began her career as a judicial intern in the Probate and Family Court — experience that still shapes the close, detail-oriented attention she brings to every case.

Samantha has been recognized as a Massachusetts Rising Star by Super Lawyers (2024–2026), successfully defended a trial court ruling on appeal on behalf of a client, and practices across Essex, Middlesex, and Suffolk counties. She also offers conciliation — a lower-cost, less adversarial path to resolution — for clients who want a fair outcome without the weight of a courtroom battle.

Our Values

What guides every decision we make.

Compassion

We lead with empathy, meeting clients at their most vulnerable moments and helping them feel steady again.

Tenacity

A proven, courtroom-tested advocate who fights hard when a case is worth fighting, and has the record to prove it.

Transparency

We set honest expectations from day one, including whether a fight is truly worth having. No surprise bills, ever.

Stability

Every decision is made with your long-term security in mind, because the goal is a confident, stable next chapter, not just a resolved case.

Why We Focus On Family Law

Family law is some of the most personal, high-stakes work a person will ever go through, and it deserves an attorney who treats it that way. We saw too many clients strung along with vague promises and rising bills. We built Surette Law to close that gap: honest advice, warm communication, and a firm that treats your case, and your future, like it truly matters.

Our Mission

We provide thoughtful, compassionate solutions that give families stability and a confident path forward, because the goal isn't just resolving a case. It's helping you build a secure and hopeful next chapter.

Our Process

We believe you should always know where your case stands and what's coming next. Here's a look at how we work together, from that very first conversation to your final resolution.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We listen first, then give you an honest assessment.

Step 2: Strategy & Filing

We map out a plan built around your goals and your budget.

Step 3: Negotiation & Litigation

We push for resolution where possible, and advocate firmly in court when necessary.

Step 4: Resolution & Next Steps

We help you move into your next chapter with confidence, including warm handoffs to financial or estate professionals if needed.

Add testimonial description here. Edit and place your own text.Samantha helped me tremendously as I ended a 25-year marriage. The process can be overwhelming so it helps to have someone who can guide you through the steps and share their knowledge in a meaningful way. Of all the people I know who've gone though a divorce, I think I experienced the easiest proceedings due in large part to Samantha's legal knowledge.

I had the honor of working with Attorney Samantha Surette, as she represented me and guided me throughout a very challenging process of child custody and divorce. Attorney Surette is very professional along with being strategic and one step ahead of the game. She made communication easy and her quick responsiveness was very helpful. Attorney Surrette helped me navigate through such an emotionally daunting time. Even after our time working together came to an end, she still continued to check in on myself and my family.

Attorney Surette works very hard on behalf of her clients. In my case, she examined all options and advised me appropriately. Despite the challenges that arose, attorney Surette was steadfast in her approach. She pressed forward with our strategy and presented the evidence that led my case to a fair outcome. Without Attorney Surette's steadfast approach, the outcome of my case would have been different and not necessarily as fair.
