Previous Employment Summary
Early in my career, I was an associate at a medical malpractice firm. I was later in-house corporate counsel and chief compliance officer for a public corporation that owned and operated psychiatric hospitals and outpatient clinics throughout the country. I was a solo practitioner before founding DeBruyckere Roth & Associates, PLLC.
What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
Many of my clients are knowledgeable consumers of legal services. I work with their basic understanding of corporate law to develop the best business plans to meet their needs and objectives.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
I have assisted clients who want to represent themselves at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
After successful careers as a nurse and psychotherapist, I found the practice of law to be both professionally stimulating and a venue to use my well-defined and established counseling skills.
