Our Services

As a general practice firm with over thirty years of experience, we have handled cases in just about every area of law. While our practice focuses mainly on family law, real estate, probate and estates, civil litigation and small businesses, we are a full-service law firm ready to assist clients with a wide range of legal issues. If you are unsure where to turn, we'll be happy to listen to what you have to say and tell you honestly if we can best represent your cause or if you would be better served by an attorney who specializes in an area of law or, simply, if you would be better off using an attorney closer to your home. We put our clients first, from the moment they step through our door.

Family Law

We want to make the divorce process easier - not harder. Our firm works to make the divorce process civilized and stress-free, regardless of the length of your marriage or the complexity of your situation. We understand that divorce is difficult enough, and we aim to treat everyone reasonably and fairly, and to achieve a result through negotiation which will approximate where you would end up if you spent thousands of dollars and had a three-day trial in front of a judge. We'd love to take the money, but it's not in your best interests. And that's what we're all about - your best interests.

Real Estate

Buying a home is one of the most important decisions of your life, and we know how to represent our clients in every stage of the home buying process. We've worked with some of the best lenders and real estate agencies in Connecticut and can help you close on your home loan as smoothly as possible. Our attorneys have extensive experience in all aspects of real estate law, including closings, title searches, and land use and zoning issues.

Probate and Estate Planning

The loss of a loved one is a difficult time, and we're here to help you through the probate process as efficiently and painlessly as possible. Our attorneys have extensive experience in all aspects of probate and estate administration, including the preparation of wills and trusts, the probate of wills, and the administration of estates. We will work with you to ensure that your wishes are carried out and that your loved ones are provided for.

Civil Litigation

Our firm has extensive experience in all aspects of civil litigation, including contract disputes, personal injury, and property disputes. We understand that litigation can be costly and time-consuming, and we will work with you to achieve a resolution that is in your best interests. Whether through negotiation, mediation, or trial, we will fight for your rights and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.

LGBT Issues

We are committed to serving the legal needs of the LGBT community in Connecticut. Our attorneys have extensive experience in all aspects of LGBT law, including marriage equality, adoption, and discrimination. We are dedicated to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, have the same legal rights and protections under the law.

Appellate Legal News

Our attorneys are dedicated to staying up-to-date on the latest legal news and developments in Connecticut. We regularly publish articles and updates on appellate legal news, including recent decisions from the Connecticut Supreme Court and the Connecticut Appellate Court.
