Representation in Family Law, Real Estate, Zoning and More I am James M. Cote, a Peabody, Massachusetts, lawyer. I represent a diversity of clients in Northern Massachusetts, including small-business owners, young families, real estate agents and developers. I intentionally left a thriving larger law practice so that I could get back to what I love — working directly with clients on a wide variety of issues. When you hire Cote Law Offices, you get me as your legal representative, without distraction. The Cote Law Offices Advantages In an era in which attorneys strive to specialize in one, narrow legal discipline, I have taken a different path. I have purposefully nurtured a diverse practice that focuses on family, estate, real estate and business law. The clients I seek are unlikely to need an attorney just once in their lives. Instead, they need a legal advocate they can trust to guide them through the many opportunities and challenges that their personal and business lives must face.
