ABOUT

Barbara divides her time between Springfield, Worcester, Boston, Plymouth, Pittsfield & Cape Cod. Her Worcester practice focuses on contested litigation of cases including divorce, paternity, custody, personal injury, appeals and guardianship. She also handles residential and commercial real estate transactions for buyers and sellers, estate planning and business formation. In Pittsfield she has chosen to focus on taking the “nasty” out of divorce by helping couples who have decided to part ways amicably and work out the details to dissolve their marital partnerships.

Ms. Liftman is a cum laude graduate of Brandeis University and Suffolk University Law School. She is a Nordic Walking Instructor and spends her free time walking with her dogs. She is a single parent and has first-hand experience with divorce, co-parenting, blended families and the complex emotions that go along with divorce and starting over. It is the blend of her many years of experience in the courtroom and her personal challenges that fuel her desire to help couples avoid the uncertainties, acrimony and expense that go along with contested divorce.
