ASSOCIATE

Attorney Mullin attended Providence College (B.A., cum laude, 1996) and Suffolk University Law School (J.D. 2001) and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 2002.  He was admitted to the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts in 2008. 

Before joining MFLG, Joe established himself as a zealous advocate in both Plymouth County and Barnstable County relating to contested divorce matters, custody and parenting plans, abuse prevention orders and support collection (especially in those cases where the Department of Revenue is involved). 

Providing his clients with value-added services, Attorney Mullin also represents clients in ancillary matters that they may encounter during the divorce process such as estate planning and drafting QDRO’s (qualified domestic relations orders) in order to transfer pension or retirement assets pursuant to a divorce judgment. 

From 2002 – 2006, Joe worked as an attorney for the Massachusetts Department of Revenue’s Child Support Enforcement Unit, where he assisted custodial parents in the establishment of paternity and support orders, and modification and enforcement of those orders.  Prior to that, Joe prosecuted cases for both the Barnstable and Plymouth District Attorney offices. 

Attorney Mullin is a member of the Barnstable County, Massachusetts, American and Quincy Bar Associations, and is an elected member of the Town of Mashpee Planning Board.

One of the strongest advantages Joe – or any of the family law attorneys from MFLG – offers is the typical hour-long consultation and analysis that starts with our asking, “Why are you here, and what can we do for you?”  That’s when the divorce lawyers and family law team gets to work.  They not only hold their clients’ hands through the process, they call clients on their birthdays, know their hobbies, and even like to suggest books to read.        

MFLG’s team of attorneys and paralegals in Southern Massachusetts insist that their clients develop a divorce plan or strategy, and “take charge” of their case.  The first homework assignment is simple:  “Copy documents.  Go through the household papers and make copies of everything you can find…tax returns, bank statements, check registers, investment and retirement account statements, employee benefit handbooks and more.”
