Business and Corporate Law

• Corporate Law

  While in law school Mr. Wingfield held several internships including work as a judicial intern with the Honorable Joseph L. Tauro of United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts;  a small litigation and business law firm; with the legal department of a Fortune 500 Corporation; and as a student prosecutor with the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office.  This varied background prepared Mr. Wingfield for the variety of legal challenges and legal perspectives facing attorneys today.

Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning
  Estate Planning is not just for the wealthiest members of the community, but really is for everyone.  Regardless of what you own, an estate plan tailored to your specific needs and goals will provide you with the peace of mind to know that your assets will be distributed according to your desires, rather than by a “cookie cutter” or “one-size fits all” approach dictated by the State.  A good estate plan can help you to protect a larger share of your assets, to be sure they are available for your loved ones, and can help you to have peace of mind in knowing that your legacy will protected.

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  This varied background in civil litigation, creditor representation in and out of bankruptcy and representation of Chapter 7 trustees gave Mr. Wingfield a unique perspective in his representation of debtors in consumer and small business bankruptcy matters.  Today Mr. Wingfield’s practice primarily focuses on representation of individuals, families and small businesses struggling with debt both in bankruptcy, state and federal court litigation and in alternative resolution methods, such as loan modification agreements.
• Foreclosure
  This fact coupled with a number of lender liability lawsuits and government incentives to mortgage lenders to work with their troubled borrowers has led to greater possibility of working with lenders to modify the terms of an existing, yet troubled, mortgage. Loan modification, or “workout”, is one of the many tools available to borrowers looking to avoid foreclosure and stay in their homes.
