Attorney Papuga has been a dedicated member of the firm since graduating high school in 2018. While pursuing her undergraduate education, she worked part-time at the firm, beginning as a receptionist before advancing to legal assistant and later serving as a law clerk throughout law school. After successfully passing the July 2025 Massachusetts Bar Examination, she was sworn in as an attorney in November 2025 and now serves as an Associate Attorney with the firm.

As a lifelong resident of Western Massachusetts, Attorney Papuga is deeply connected to the local community and passionate about helping individuals and families navigate difficult legal matters.

Her personal experience with custodial disputes allows her to approach clients with empathy, compassion, and a genuine understanding of the frustrations many individuals face during family law proceedings.
