You Are Not Alone
You didn't ask for this. But here you are.
Maybe you were blindsided with divorce papers and have no idea what comes next — especially with your kids caught in the middle. Maybe the financial fallout from your marriage has left you with more questions than answers. Maybe you've already hired a Massachusetts attorney who didn't call you back, billed you for things that made no sense, and left you feeling like just another file.
Whatever brought you to this page, one thing is true: the decisions made right now will shape your family's future. This is not the time for guesswork — and it's not the time for an attorney who only tells you what you want to hear.
Lamb & Lamb, P.C. has been representing families across Salem, Beverly, Danvers, Peabody, Lynn, Marblehead, and the entire North Shore since 1999. We know the Essex County courts. We know what works. And we will tell you the truth from the very first call.
The Lamb Difference
What Makes Lamb & Lamb Different From Other North Shore Law Firms.
Honest When It Counts
The firm's founding promise has never changed: clients get the advice they need to hear — not the advice they want to hear. When outcomes are uncertain, you'll be told. When a strategy won't serve you, it won't be suggested. Clients who have worked with Salem family law and bankruptcy attorneys across Massachusetts describe that kind of honesty as the thing they valued most — and almost never found.
Compassionate and Tough — In the Right Measure
When compassion is needed, compassion is shown. When teeth are needed, teeth are shown. After more than 25 years handling contested divorces, high-conflict custody battles, and and complex divorce cases across Essex County, Monique Boucher Lamb knows exactly which moment calls for which approach. You get both — never one at the expense of the other.
You'll Never Be Left Wondering
Not knowing what's happening in your own case is its own kind of stress. At Lamb & Lamb, accessibility isn't a bonus — it's the standard. Every call and email is returned within 24 hours. Every step of your Massachusetts family law case will be explained in plain language.
Quality Counsel at Reasonable Rates
A Salem family law attorney shouldn't create a second financial crisis on top of the one you're already navigating. Lamb & Lamb provides high-quality legal representation at rates that don't leave clients worse off than when they started. Free initial consultation. Transparent billing. Straightforward answers from day one.

Client Stories
What Essex County Clients Say After Working with Lamb & Lamb, PC
Meet Monique
You're Not Hiring A Firm. You're Hiring A Person.
Monique Boucher Lamb founded Lamb & Lamb, P.C. on January 4, 1999 — right here in Salem, Massachusetts, where she was born and raised. In over 25 years of practice as a family law attorney serving the North Shore, she has guided Essex County families through divorce, fought for parents who refused to give up on their kids, and helped clients navigate the financial and legal fallout that often follows the end of a marriage.
She built this firm on a principle most Salem attorneys aren't willing to put in writing: clients deserve honesty, even when the honest answer is hard. She doesn't make promises she can't keep. She doesn't tell you what you want to hear. And when a case needs to be fought in the Essex County Probate and Family Court, she fights — with the tenacity of someone who takes every outcome personally.
Outside the courtroom, Monique volunteers as ARC counsel, advocating for children in probate and family court on a pro bono basis, and serves as a conciliator for family law cases through the Essex County Bar Association. She is as invested in this community as she is in every client she represents.
