MARJORIE BELMONT, PARALEGAL

You will most likely see Marjorie when you first enter our office or perhaps hear her voice when you call our phone. She considers her duties as the Office Manager and Paralegal to be an extension of her years of customer service and love of writing. She was recently appointed as a Massachusetts Notary Public and looks forward to serving the Commonwealth.

She has diverse skills and interests. She graduated cum laude from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Design, concentrating in Photography.
