Tiffany Kudravetz is one of Boston Magazine’s Top Lawyers in 2024 and volunteers her time to a number of local groups, including the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce. We caught up with her to talk about her practice and her work in the Sudbury community.
1 – Can you tell us a bit about your business and what makes it unique?
Generations Law Group specializes in estate planning and elder law, including everything from wills and trusts, to powers of attorney, to asset protection and MassHealth, to probate. We help clients plan for the future and ensure their wishes are honored, and we also help clients and their families navigate complex crisis situations. A unique service we offer is our Client Care Program, which offers an easy way for clients to stay in touch with us through phone calls, webinars, and special events. This is one way we foster relationships and stay engaged with our clients as their needs evolve.
2 – What led you into this line of work and your specific specializations?
I love that estate planning and elder law are very people-focused. I enjoy helping others and in this type of work, you get to know clients on a very personal level because there is so much honesty and trust in the process. I’ve had clients laugh and cry with me and I’ve been hugged for happy and sad reasons. No client is the same and every day is different, but I know I’m supporting people and helping them navigate stressful situations, whether we’re doing proactive planning or working our way through a crisis. It’s a very rewarding job.
3 – What’s something the average person might be surprised to learn about estate planning?
A lot of people think of estate planning as only wills and trusts—things that come into play after someone dies—but it’s much more than that. There are several documents that are important for everyone age 18 and older like powers of attorney and health care proxies. I do a lot of conservatorship and guardianship work that could have been avoided if those documents had been in place.
4 – Generations Law group has multiple locations, including one in Sudbury. What made Sudbury a desirable place to do business?
The firm was founded by two Lincoln-Sudbury graduates, attorneys Cathleen and Philip Summers, so starting the firm in their hometown was a natural choice. Over time, especially with the mix of young families and the aging adult population, we’ve found the community to be very welcoming of the services we provide. There are also a number of complementary professionals in Sudbury, like financial planners and CPAs, and those local connections are a huge asset to us and our clients.

5 – You have been very active in the Sudbury community, including serving on the board of the Chamber of Commerce. What motivates you to volunteer in the community in addition to your work?
Giving back to the community is something that was instilled in me at a young age and I sincerely like helping people. I hope to set an example for my kids so that doing random acts of kindness becomes the default, they’re comfortable spearheading causes they care about, and they are empowered to jump in and help if they see a need. It has been fun and rewarding to volunteer with youth sports, Girl Scouts, and my kids’ schools over the years, but being on the Chamber board has helped me learn so much more about local issues and fostered some wonderful professional connections.
6 – What advice would you give to a Sudbury student who aspires to be a lawyer one day?
Start creating good habits early and be prepared to work hard. Take advantage of opportunities that come your way because you never know where they will lead or who you will meet, but also know that there isn’t one perfect path to becoming a lawyer. Some experiences will help you figure out your passion and some may clarify what you don’t want to do, and it’s okay to take time figuring all of that out.
