Each divorce and family lawyer gets a 0–100 LFR Score from nine published factors, led by reputation (25%), practice focus (15%), review volume (10%) and recency (10%). A law firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only law firms with a confirmed practice area and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.
Do divorce and family lawyers outside Gloucester count in this ranking?
Yes, if they are within 25 mi of the Gloucester city center, our service radius for divorce and family lawyers. Each listing shows where the law firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the LFR Score, so a nearby law firm gets a small edge.

No. The LFR Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured law firms may appear above the list, labelled Attorney advertising and showing their honest rank.
How do divorce and family lawyers in Gloucester, MA charge?
Divorce and family lawyers usually bill by the hour against an upfront retainer. A fee that depends on securing a divorce or on the amount of support is not allowed under ABA Model Rule 1.5(d).

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?
Not always, but a lawyer can review the agreement on property, support and parenting before you sign it, which is hard to undo later. Many firms offer limited-scope help for this. This is general information, not legal advice.
How is this list of divorce and family lawyers in Gloucester, MA ranked?
By LFR Score only, from public data on reviews, practice focus, office location and hours. Firms labelled “Attorney advertising” paid for that placement; payment never changes a rank, and a rank is not an endorsement.
Does a lawyer need an office in Gloucester?
No, but the lawyer must be licensed in your state (or, for federal matters such as immigration, in some state). A local office makes meetings and court appearances easier, so proximity is one of our factors.
