The purchase or sale of a home, condominium or commercial property may be one of the most significant financial transactions you experience in your lifetime. Our attorneys and paralegals have the experience to handle all aspects of your real estate transaction, whether in Pittsfield, elsewhere in Berkshire County or beyond.

Whether starting a new business, purchasing an existing business or seeking some assurance that your existing business complies with all applicable legal requirements, the lawyers at Aaronson & Mach, P.C. can provide appropriate guidance tailored to each client’s individual needs.

If you have minor children or own your own home, it is important to have a Will to accomplish your goals and protect your family. The administration of your estate may be simpler and less expensive if you have a Will. Without a Will, Massachusetts law dictates the disposition of your property upon your death, which may not accomplish your estate planning goals. Having a Will allows you to make the decisions that will affect your family and protect your children.

Losing a loved one is always difficult but having little guidance though the probate process can add unbearable strain for the family. Our attorneys are available to guide you through the process.
