Marc Eichler

Marc is a seasoned litigator with extensive experience in both civil and criminal law, who now focuses exclusively on divorce and family law, particularly on cases involving complex property division, real estate ownership, inherited and gifted assets, trusts, business valuations of unique business structures and professional practices, prenuptial agreements, contested custody disputes, and removal issues.

Marc spent the first ten plus years of his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney for the Office of the Middlesex County District Attorney. He first honed his writing skills in the Appeals Bureau, where he drafted appellate briefs and argued cases before the Massachusetts Court of Appeals and the Supreme Judicial Court, including successfully writing and arguing a case before the SJC which established black letter law that continues to guide law enforcement to this day. During his time in the trial division Marc worked with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, trying nearly a thousand cases, involving all major felonies ranging from armed robbery to first-degree murder, with a primary focus on violent gang prosecution.

Before joining Koiles Pratt, Marc was in-house General Counsel and Senior Vice President for a rapidly growing manufacturing company outside Boston where he developed a wealth of civil litigation and commercial transaction experience focusing on mergers and acquisitions as well as the drafting and negotiation of global sales and distribution agreements. Marc was also a Clinical Professor at Boston College Law School, where he designed the curriculum and taught a 3rd year Criminal Process class.

Marc knows firsthand that a divorce can be one of the most difficult times in a person’s life, and as a result he brings compassion and a focused, realistic approach to an extremely trying process. His ultimate goal is to achieve a resolution for clients that will allow them, and their children, to rapidly put the divorce process behind them, and to begin living life again to its fullest.

Over the past thirty plus years, Marc has compiled an extensive litigation record and argued seminal appellate cases as lead counsel at every level of Court in the Commonwealth, specializing in contested litigation on a wide range of issues. As a member of The American Academy for Certified Financial Litigators (AACFL) he is exceptionally qualified at handling the complex financial issues that his clients face during the course of a divorce, modification, or contempt action. Marc is also admitted as an AAML Fellow (the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers), a position reserved for family law attorneys who have demonstrated the highest level of expertise, professionalism, and commitment to matrimonial law. To become a Fellow, attorneys must meet rigorous criteria, including significant experience in family law, demonstrated competency in handling complex cases, and being recognized as a leading practitioner by the Judiciary and his fellow members of the bar.
