About Ellen Wright
Ellen A. Wright is the owner and CEO of Wright Family Law Group, P.C., and one of the most experienced and trusted divorce and family law attorneys in Massachusetts. A former CPA, she brings a strong financial background to high-stakes divorce, child custody, mediation, property division, and bankruptcy matters—giving clients clarity and protection when the stakes are high. Ellen has been recognized as a Top 10 Family Law Attorney (AIFLA 2020), Boston’s Best of 2021, a Super Lawyers Rising Star (2019), and a Best Lawyers “One to Watch” (2020). Known for her direct, results-driven advocacy, she has built a reputation as one of the best divorce attorneys in Massachusetts for families seeking both experience and compassion. She is an active council member and volunteer conciliator for the Middlesex County Bar Association and a member of the Greater Lowell and Massachusetts Bar Associations. Her pro bono work has been recognized by the Client Securities Board, and in 2017 she was appointed by Governor Charlie Baker to the Board of Trustees at Tewksbury State Hospital. Ellen is passionate about helping families in crisis, especially those facing addiction-related challenges. As a recovered alcoholic, she brings empathy and insight to clients navigating substance-abuse issues within their family systems. Under her leadership, Wright Family Law Group has grown to include a full Divorce Support Services Division, offering divorce coaching and support groups for current and former clients. She also founded The Wright Family Law Academy, which provides practical resources—including the popular 30-Day Divorce Self-Care Challenge—to help people stay grounded and empowered throughout the divorce process.
