Family matters demand a different kind of attorney—one who leads clearly, communicates honestly, and never loses sight of what the outcome means for your children and your future.
Family law clients don't need an attorney who reacts to the other side. They need someone who builds a strategy, communicates it clearly, and executes it with discipline—even when emotions run high on both sides.
Our family law partners understand that discretion and decisiveness are not opposites. We handle sensitive matters with care while never yielding an inch that matters to your outcome.

Connecticut courts base custody on the best interests of the child, considering both parents' relationships with the child, stability, and parenting capacity. Joint custody is common but not automatic.
Connecticut divides marital property 'equitably'—fairly, not necessarily equally. Courts consider the length of the marriage, each spouse's contributions, and each spouse's earning capacity, among other factors.
Yes. Alimony is available in Connecticut based on factors including the length of the marriage, the standard of living, and the ability of each spouse to support themselves. It is not automatic.
Options include one spouse buying out the other, selling and dividing the proceeds, or a deferred-sale arrangement if children are involved. The right answer depends on your financial situation and goals.
