Straight answers, drafted documents, and a phone that gets answered
John A. Curseaden founded Curseaden Law Office PLLC to do one thing well: help Massachusetts families put an estate plan in place before they need it. The practice is limited to wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care proxies — the documents that decide what happens to the people and the property you care about.
He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in [year] after earning his J.D. from [law school], and has spent [X] years working with individuals and families across the Commonwealth. [Add a sentence or two here about what drew John to estate planning — clients respond to this more than to any credential.]
How he works with clients
Most people arrive with the same two feelings: they know they have put this off, and they are braced for a conversation full of jargon. Neither turns out to be a problem. The first meeting is a conversation about your family and what you own — not a sales pitch, and not a form to fill in. By the end of it you will know which documents your situation actually calls for, and which ones you can skip.
From there, drafts are prepared and then reviewed with you line by line. If a paragraph does not read the way you meant it, it gets changed. Nothing is signed until you can explain in your own words what each document does. That standard sounds obvious; it is also the reason clients come back years later to update a plan rather than starting over somewhere else.
Why estate planning
Estate planning is one of the few areas of law where the work is almost entirely preventive. Nobody is in crisis when they sign a will. But the families who did the paperwork and the families who did not end up in very different places — one with a signed plan and a clear path, the other in the Probate and Family Court trying to reconstruct what a parent would have wanted.
The gap between those two outcomes is usually a single afternoon of work. That is a good reason to make the afternoon as painless as possible.

Why Choose Us
Why families choose Curseaden Law Office
Direct access to your attorney
You are not handed off. The attorney who meets you at the first consultation is the one who drafts your documents, sits with you at the signing, and takes your call three years later when something changes.
Massachusetts-specific expertise
Estate law is state law. Your documents are drafted for the Massachusetts Uniform Probate Code, the Commonwealth's health care proxy statute, and Massachusetts estate tax thresholds — not a national template.
Clear scope, clear fees
After your free consultation you receive the scope of work and the fee in writing. Nothing begins until you approve it, and you will not receive an invoice you did not expect.
The Office

If getting to Westford is inconvenient — and for a lot of the families we work with in North Reading, Andover, and Lowell it is — consultations by phone or video work just as well.
