WARE & GOODMAN LLP was formed in January 2006 by Robert C. Ware and Elisabeth C. Goodman with offices in Williamstown and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Robert Ware had a well-established practice in Williamstown for more than ten years before establishing the new firm. Elisabeth Goodman worked for the state government and as the Berkshire counsel for a small Boston law firm prior to starting the new firm. Both are practitioners with more than twenty years of experience who combine specialized expertise and general practice experience.

Whether large or small companies or individuals, we are committed to achieving the best possible results for our clients.

We offer personal attention without big firm rates and deliver high quality services efficiently. We represent our clients in a broad range of matters, from buying or selling homes, to starting new businesses or financing large commercial real estate ventures. We are experienced in drafting the appropriate documents to address estate planning needs and reduce or eliminate estate and gift tax consequences. We have successfully litigated a wide variety of matters for public and private sector clients at trial, on appeal and before administrative agencies. We also have an extensive land use, environmental and zoning practice that relies on our expertise in municipal, environmental, real estate and regulatory law.

We provide an initial half hour free consultation, so that you can explain your concerns to us. For some matters, such as real estate transactions and probate matters, we offer fixed fees. No attorney-client relationship is created when you view our website.
