After over six decades of practicing law, Doherty, Wallace announces that Attorney Thomas Growhoski has retired. Tom joined DWPM to lead our Northampton office in 2006. He brought with him extensive ties to Hampshire County residents and businesses. Having practiced since 1965, he had experience in many areas of law, from municipal, to banking and business law, to land use and real estate, for which he worked on thousands of transactions. Tom made a name for himself in advising and counseling clients with patience and thoughtfulness, and he passed along his skills as a mentor to colleagues and associates. DWPM is thankful to Tom for his decades of service and wishes him the best in retirement.
With Tom’s retirement, DWPM has decided to minimize its physical footprint and close our Northampton office location at 60 State Street, effective August 28, 2026.
If you are one of Tom’s clients, please be assured that your current client files and legal matters will be transitioned to another DWPM attorney. Tom’s former colleagues – including those of us who learned from him – will be available to assist you with future matters. Please do not hesitate to reach out to attorneys Lisa Halbert (LHalbert@dwpm.com) or Rebecca Thibault (Rthibault@dwpm.com), or our office manager, Jackie Elfman-Constantine (Jconstantine@dwpm.com) for assistance with your legal matters. Our primary office location is located in downtown Springfield, but many of our attorneys live in Hampshire County and beyond, and DWPM will continue its strong presence and commitment to serving the residents and businesses located in Hampshire County and throughout Western Mass.
