About Jennifer Breen
I began my career as a prosecutor in 2004 with the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office in Cambridge. After gaining trial experience, I returned to my hometown of North Adams and opened a solo practice. Since 2009, I have practiced family law and represent clients in divorces, paternity cases, guardianships, modifications, custody, and child support matters. This area of law requires a delicate balance between strategic litigation and empathy for clients facing the biggest upheaval in their lives, emotionally and financially. In 2021, after a decade of solo practice, I joined Donovan, O'Connor & Dodig because I believe that my clients will benefit from the team approach to litigation.
