About Claire
Claire Crowley practices law on both sides of the New England border. She is admitted to the bars of Massachusetts and New Hampshire and is based at Old Colony Law as of 2026. That dual admission shapes the way she approaches cases and clients.
Her professional record is grounded in the rules and procedures of two separate state systems. Being licensed in both jurisdictions allows her to file in either state when matters cross boundaries. It also means she must stay current on two sets of court rules and two sets of ethical requirements. That administrative reality is a steady part of her day-to-day work.
Colleagues describe the practical benefits of a lawyer who can operate in both states. For clients, it can mean fewer handoffs and quicker decisions when an issue touches Massachusetts and New Hampshire law. For judges and opposing counsel, it can mean a single lawyer managing filings, hearings and negotiations across neighboring courts. Those are logistical advantages that often matter in closely timed disputes.
Crowley’s practice at Old Colony Law places her among a group of practitioners serving the New England region. The office provides a local base for appearances in state court and for consultations with clients who have business or personal matters that span state lines. In that environment, the routine work can include everything from preparing pleadings to coordinating hearings in different counties.
She has navigated matters that required careful reading of statutes in more than one state and has experience lining up procedural steps so deadlines are met on both sides of the border. That kind of coordination requires attention to dates, court rules and the particular forms each clerk’s office expects. It is work that rewards organized preparation and a steady pace.
Outside of court filings and calendar management, Crowley spends time on legal research and drafting. She reviews statutes, looks into case law and prepares written materials that explain the position to judges and opposing parties. The job often involves translating complex procedural requirements into clear next steps for clients.
As of 2026 Claire Crowley maintains an active practice through Old Colony Law and concentrates her work on matters that arise in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
