BOSTON, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Burns & Levinson partner Robert J. O’Regan has been named to the 2019 “Family Law Trailblazers” list through The National Law Journal (NLJ) for his “deep ardor and perseverance” in pursuit of his venture and for achieving “terrific successes along with the manner.”
Over his 30-12 months professional career, O’Regan has finished many pioneering wins in family law, including the latest high-profile and precedent-setting appeals arising from divorce litigation. In Pfannenstiehl v. Pfannenstiehl, O’Regan gained a unanimous Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court reversal of an Appeals Court’s decision that required his patron, Curt Pfannenstiehl, to pay his ex-spouse about $1.Four million, even though Pfannenstiehl couldn’t compel his own family to accept it as true, to make a distribution to him. This case has come to be the definitive law to agree with pursuits within the division of marital assets in Massachusetts and throughout the country.
In any other precedent-placing selection, O’Regan received a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit case reversing a $6 million award to the ex-spouse of O’Regan’s consumer after a district court docket ruled that she turned into entitled to part of a $20 million bonus her ex-husband acquired over two years after their divorce. This appellate win shuts down “give-up-run” tries by disgruntled ex-spouses to bypass national court agreements via the federal court.
