About John L.

John L. Roberts began his expert adventure in journalism before turning to the regulation. He earned a B.S. in Journalism from Boston University in 1972, then returned to school to finish a J.D. at Western New England University School of Law in 1986. The switch from reporting to law gave him a different manner to work with details and narratives.

His early legal years were spent in federal clerkships. In 1987 he served as a law clerk on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The subsequent year he worked on the United States Department of Justice. In 1989 he was a judicial law clerk for the United States District Court. Those roles exposed him to regulatory, appellate and trial-courtroom procedures in rapid succession.

In 1991 Roberts opened the Law Office of John L. Roberts and started practicing on his own. Over the subsequent many years he has managed things that contact on senior law, estate planning and real estate. He is admitted to practice in Connecticut and Massachusetts. He also holds admissions to the First and Second Circuit Courts of Appeal and to the United States Supreme Court.

Roberts has a proper credential in senior law. He is a Certified Elder Law Lawyer through the National Elder Law Foundation, a private organization that the American Bar Association accredits to certify attorneys in that strong point. That certification is one credential amongst several professional ties which have formed his practice. He has been a member of the Massachusetts chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys since 2000. He belongs to the Real Estate Bar Association for Massachusetts, also since 2000. His club within the Hampden County Estate Planning Council dates to 1994, and he has been part of the Hampden County Bar Association Real Estate Section since 2009.

Colleagues and clients often note Roberts’s lengthy tenure in practice and his steady presence in local legal organizations. He brings years of federal clerkship experience to cases that frequently require familiarity with courtroom process and company guidelines. His work spans counseling, record drafting and courtroom appearances as jurisdictional wants require. He continues to operate his personal practice and handles things in senior law, property making plans and actual property.
