Attorney

Founded by Attorney Richard S. Ravosa who recognized that many people who live, work, study
or visit within the city of Boston on business or pleasure may require the services of an attorney
for various reasons and that there should be a local law firm with an easily accessible web-site
that can provide access to attorneys who will deliver outstanding legal services and provide first
class, client-oriented representation. Town & Country attorneys know the law and their clients
and more importantly help them make informed and intelligent decisions regarding their personal
or business affairs.
