About Town & Country Legal Associates
Founded by Richard S. Ravosa who recognized that many people who live, work, study or visit within the city of Boston on business or pleasure may require the services of an attorney for various reasons and that there should be a local law firm with an easily accessible web-site that can provide access to attorneys who will deliver outstanding legal services and provide first class, client-oriented representation. Town & Country attorneys know the law and their clients and more importantly help them make informed and intelligent decisions regarding their personal or business affairs.
