About
Welcome to the world of law and compassion, where Fallon F. Whidden, Esq., combines legal expertise with a heart for service.
About Me:
Fallon F. Whidden, Esq. a proud Italian hailing from the vibrant state of New Jersey. My journey led me to the historical streets of Boston, where I pursued dual Bachelor of the Arts Degrees in Government and History at Suffolk University. Fueling my passion for law, I attended New England Law | Boston, earning a Juris Doctor while juggling the responsibilities of a full-time paralegal.
As a wife to Christopher and a devoted mother to Sophia and Benjamin, family takes center stage in my life. Our family is completed by Rocco, our rescued Chihuahua. Together, we form a close-knit, extended Italian family—a sentiment I extend to my clients.
Professional Journey:
By day, I navigated the intricate world of law as a full-time paralegal, and by night, I pursued my dream, attending law school part-time. Today, I stand proudly as an attorney specializing in Estate Planning, Asset Protection, Trust Administration, Guardianships/Conservatorships, and Business Formation & Succession Planning.
The essence of my practice lies in the "estate of mind" philosophy. I am driven by the belief that securing your family's future provides tranquility and guidance. My clients aren't just clients; they become part of my extended family. Helping them navigate the complexities of estate planning is my way of ensuring they have a peace of mind in a broader sense of life.
A Slice of Personality:
Beyond the courtroom, you'll find me immersed in my favorite hobby—cooking. Inspired by the legendary Julia Child, my goal for the upcoming year is to embark on a culinary adventure, cooking through her Mastering the Art of French Cooking cookbooks. This passion mirrors my approach to law: a meticulous blend of ingredients, carefully measured and combined to create a masterpiece.
