Attorney Rhonda S. Boulé has practiced law in Massachusetts for more than 30 years. She owns the Law Office of Rhonda S. Boulé in Newton. Before opening her current firm, she co-founded Ferraro & Boulé, Attorneys at Law, in 2006.
Every client, family, and legal matter is different. For that reason, Attorney Boulé takes time to understand each client’s concerns, goals, and circumstances. She then draws on her knowledge and experience to provide advice tailored to that individual.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, she explains the available options and offers practical guidance. Together, she and the client develop a strategy that reflects the client’s needs and priorities.
Attorney Boulé focuses primarily on family law. Her practice includes divorce matters involving child custody, child support, alimony, property division, parenting plans, and separation agreements. She also handles post-divorce modifications, contempt proceedings, and related matters.
In addition, Attorney Boulé drafts and reviews prenuptial agreements.
Her experience includes cases involving domestic violence, child abuse, restraining orders under G.L. c. 209A, and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families. Earlier in her career, she interned with the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office as a Victim Witness Advocate.
After a divorce, clients may need help carrying out or changing the terms of a judgment. Attorney Boulé assists with parenting plans, retirement and other asset divisions, and changes in financial or parenting circumstances. She also files and defends Complaints for Modification and Complaints for Contempt.
When appropriate, she helps clients identify professionals and public resources that may support the legal process. These may include family counselors, financial professionals, real estate professionals, parenting coordinators, and the Child Support Enforcement Division of the Massachusetts Department of Revenue.
Attorney Boulé is highly regarded by her clients:
I personally cannot say enough good things about this practice, and about Attorney Rhonda Boule in particular, who helped me with my recent child support issues. After many years of subpar representation by another firm, I was very favorably impressed with Attorney Boule’s efficiency, intelligence and knowledge base, practicality, and responsiveness. I am so grateful to her for her professionalism and would highly recommend her for anyone with a child support or custody issue. – P.A., Newton, MA
