About Our Firm

The Law Office of Dennis F. Desmarais is located in Springfield, Massachusetts and serves individuals and families across Western Massachusetts. Attorney Dennis F. Desmarais focuses on immigration law, criminal defense, child welfare (CAFL), and estate planning.

Springfield is home to one of the most diverse communities in New England, with large Haitian, Hispanic, and South Asian populations. Many of these families need legal help but face language barriers or are unsure of their rights. This firm provides legal services in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole so that clients can communicate directly with their attorney in their own language.

Attorney Desmarais handles immigration cases before USCIS, the Hartford Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He also represents clients in criminal matters in Massachusetts district and superior courts, with particular expertise in cases where criminal charges carry immigration consequences.

As a certified CAFL attorney, he represents children and parents in care and protection proceedings in Hampden County Juvenile Court. His estate planning practice helps families, including immigrant and mixed-status households, protect their assets and plan for the future.
