Our mission.
Advocacy
Attorney Karpf is an experienced litigator and zealous advocate for you in any fiercely contested lawsuit. Attorney Karpf represents clients embroiled in cases involving domestic abuse, child abuse, parental alienation, fraudulent transfers of assets, parental kidnapping, fraud and embezzlement, sexual assault, wasted assets, and abuses perpetrated by fiduciaries.
Vadimus Law cuts to the quick -- to get you the success you deserve.
Affordability.
Quality representation for your circumstances.
Attorney Karpf is passionately committed to the belief that top-notch legal advice and services should be available and affordable under your financial circumstances. Towards that end, in addition to traditional advance retainer and contingent fees, Vadimus Law may offer you a wide range of innovative case management and billing arrangements, including unbundling legal services, sliding-scale hourly rates, pay-as-you-go payment schedules, flat fees, payment plans, barter, and combinations of all of these.
Investigation.
Knowledge is power.
Attorney Karpf knows that an under-informed client is a client who has already lost his or her case. Using a network of valuation experts and private investigators, in addition to his own experience in tracking down seemingly vanished and/or undervalued assets in divorce and trust cases, Attorney Karpf discovers the facts you need to make fully-informed choices and maximize your success.
Mediation.
Not all conflicts require battle.
Mediation can turn an expensive conflict into a manageable compromise solution. As an accomplished lawyer in domestic relations and child welfare law, Attorney Karpf brings his experience, empathy, and background into mediation to bring people together on common ground and to empower and inform their decision-making processes and resolve conflict in or within a family, trust, or community, or by providing as-needed, long-term as-needed mediation services to parents, trusts, and other people and organizations who find themselves in frequent disputes. Mediated solutions can be short-term or long-term, depending on the wishes of the people involved, and they are most often much more affordable than contentious litigation. Attorney Karpf can provide mediation services, or he can advise you on how best to proceed within the context of mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Attorney Karpf is a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and the Massachusetts Council on Family Mediation.
What’s in a name? Why “Vadimus Law”?
Because our mission is to help you cross through troubled waters.
"Vadimus" is a Latin word derived from the noun "vadum" (meaning the dangerous shallows, fords, or shoals). As a verb, Vadimus can be read as "We go together through troubled waters." Vadimus Law is here to guide you through your difficult times with the legal skills you need to maximize success.
