About

Attorney Lawrence J Pilon Jr is a family law practitioner serving Springfield, Massachusetts with over 25 years of experience in divorce, child custody, child support, parenting time modifications, and related matters. His office is located at 1350 Main Street, Suite 302, in downtown Springfield, with convenient parking options nearby including the MGM Casino parking facility and the Parking I-91 South Garage.

A former United States Army JAG officer and graduate of Suffolk Law School, Attorney Pilon brings a distinctive background to family law. Before establishing his practice, he worked for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families as a social worker for seven years, providing direct services to clients. He has also served as a Court Investigator for the Juvenile Court for more than 20 years. This combination of legal training, government experience, and courtroom familiarity informs his approach to cases.

Attorney Pilon's practice centers on contentious family matters. He has litigated cases involving custody, child support, parenting time, and modifications for over two decades. He also represents parents and children in state intervention cases—matters in which the Department of Children and Families has taken custody of children. These cases are particularly sensitive, often complex, and can result in the termination of parental rights. He has participated in hundreds of such cases throughout his career, advocating for clients' rights at each stage of the administrative and legal process. Beyond DCF cases, he handles contempt proceedings, guardianships, and removal cases.

Attorney Pilon provides services in both English and Spanish. His practice philosophy is family and child-centered, reflecting his prior work with the Department of Children and Families and his understanding of the issues families face during legal disputes. He describes his approach as thorough advocacy tailored to the sensitivity and complexity of each case.

The firm offers a free initial 30-minute legal consultation, available by phone, video, or in person. This consultation is designed to discuss the facts and complexity of a case and to determine whether a working relationship would be appropriate. If a client decides to retain the firm, a retainer agreement will be signed outlining the terms of representation. Attorney Pilon also offers limited assistance representation for clients who cannot afford full-time legal services, including document preparation, legal advice, and court appearances for specific purposes.

Military members, police officers, firefighters, teachers, nurses, and first responders receive a 15 percent discount on fees. Prospective clients can contact the office by phone, text, or fax at (413) 304-3477, or by email at attorneypilon@gmail.com to schedule an appointment.
