I needed to have someone look at a contract I drafted up to make sure the terms specified were fair and understandable to both parties. After reviewing the the document and going over it line by line, amending it where needed, I was left with a contract I felt comfortable signing. The whole process was quick and painless, would highly recommend Kent Miller for document review.

Attorney Kent Miller goes above and beyond expectations. He's a knowledgeable attorney, he's prompt with his responses, and he's willing to go the extra mile for you.

This Guy Does not fight for you. He's a take the money and move on kind of guy. Puts not time or effort into your case. He actually tried to get me to agree to take more time then what I ended up Getting. He is 100 percent on prosecutors side. Take notice he has few reviews.

My experience with Attorney Hide Inga was horrible. I tried for months, from approximately March 2023 to the ending of my case in November 2023, Attorney Inga did not do his due diligence. I asked for several documents that he never got from the opposing lawyer. I repeatedly asked in emails and in person and he repeatedly ignored my insistence to get that paperwork. When I asked for my alimony to be amended he told me that he would do it and it was never done. The court in March had ordered the alimony to be ammended. I told him that more than once. His paralegal Duane told me that he had done it and in fact it had not been done. When I asked to update the equity of the home to the present at the time, his response was that it would only be a little bit more money and he ultimately never did it. He seemed to have very little concern for my future financial situation. He was not sensitive at all to my disability and what my divorce meant for my future stability as a disabled person. I was forced to accept an outcome that I was not happy about because he repeatedly allowed the opposing lawyer to wait until the last minute to submit an agreement. In an email it was communicated to him that I needed atleast two weeks to look over paperwork and make a decision. The last agreement by the opposing lawyer was submitted on October 30th and my court date was November 1st. It was not the same as the agreement I had signed approximately a month prior. I was told by Duane that it was the same but the legal language was a bit different, and in fact it had a lot more added on to it. Because of the increasing fear as a result of the constant back and forth with Attorney Inga and his paralegal Duane, and inability to continue being at odds with my own lawyer, the fear of not knowing what would happen in court with the situation and not having any money to get another lawyer, I consented to the last agreement. Because at that point I could clearly see that he was not really interested or concerned about my case. I was under too much stress and felt worn down. He repeatedly acted as if a little more money was of no consequence, but when it came to the last $1,000.00 that I owed him, he took it without a problem from me and he even tried to get me to forget about the worth of the plow that I asked for, stating that I would only get about $1,200. 00. It was only a little bit of money for me and my future, but for him every penny counted. I regret hiring him and wish I had noticed that he had a disciplinary action against him in the past. I am distraught at the way he and Duane treated me. I am distressed about the negligence and indifference that he showed during the months he represented me. I felt run over and mistreated by him and his office and I do not recommend Attorney Inga.

Totally wasted my time and money. If you’re a tenant looking to sue a landlord this is not her strong suit. They clearly are not for the people. They will give you the run around save your money.

I would recommend Mr. Inga to family, friends and anyone else who is looking for a reliable attorney who will fight for you every step of the way. Mr. Inga will make you feel like you're part of the family and will keep you updated with any information needed on your case.

DO NOT USE HER! She represented me allowing me to pay over time. SHE offered that! I will review the invoice as many people that have used her said she overcharged. Her paralegal is mean Bonnie led me on to believe she would help me file contempt. Then she ignored my emails, calls and texts for weeks. She got upset when HER paralegal got rude with me. All she had to do was advise me she would not be representing me further. She over charged and I will be filing a grievance.

15 Mar, 2023 by Joe weaver

Bonnie is a dangerous individual to have around your children. Guy below is right, she just paid a ton of people to write good reviews. She has NOT done right by us or my daughter and others should consider how hazardous she is when involved. Through a back office source at CT superior court, she is juiced in with other corrupt judges and administrators in the court. She is protected so there's no way to remove her. We've asked her several times to remove herself from my case and she refuses. She goes silent for months, doesn't return phone calls, at a time when she has REAL work to do on behalf of the child.

I had an excellent experience with this team before. I had a seamless experience purchasing a property in 2019. Now that I'm selling, I'm using them again. Terri, the paralegal, is stellar. She's extremely responsive and escalates any concern I may have through the appropriate channels. Through the first transaction, I only needed to communicate with the attorney at the closing table as Terri handled everything else I needed. Bonus: the office in Southington is beautiful. :)

I have been having a lot of trouble with finding direction with a case. I have tried so many different lawyers and have not had any help at all. I simply called looking for any advice I could get. I was directed to Andrew S. Marcucci where he looked up any information he could to simply give me some direction. I am very appreciative for the help! Although I was not able to go through with this law firm he really showed that he cared.

I won a CHRO after working with the paralegal. Axelrod filed the suit in New Haven, I kept calling his office to check on the case after I provided all discovery information. I did not get called back. I finally called the court. What I found out was the case was dismissed due to not providing discovery information. I provided all discovery items asked for. When I demanded my file at his office and insisted on going to the file with him, it contained ALL discovery items.

Hired Axelrod and Associates for an employment discrimination case. First meeting with Attorney Axelrod I was told i had an excellent case. In fact, he told me, I would be stupid not to pursue legal action! This first meeting was several hours long and I repeatedly asked for the truth about the strength of my case should i bring one. Turns out the case was not strong enough to pursue in court and the settlement was for far less than the initial numbers they had told me. In the end it cost me my job with nothing to show for it and no references. I would not recommend this attorney for the reasons cited above.

27 Jul, 2012 by Stacy

I was terminated from my position after dediating 18 years with the company. I was a victim of age discrimination. After searching online for an attorney I was fortunate to find Attorney Axelrod. Our initial consultation was intense as he spent a tremendous amount of time with me. I decided to retain him and fought for my rights. I am extremely satisfied with his service. I was hesitant because of the other reviews but and thankful that I decided to go with Attorney Axelrod. I will recommend him to everyone I kown who has been discriminated against.

run away when you meet with him and he sees substantial assets and he brings his sidekick mark farrell "at no cost to you " then mark takes over and you liquidate assets and incur substantial tax liability because you were mislead and last minute he tries to sell you a long term annunity! What a team worse than bait and switch.

29 Mar, 2019 by Barry

My parents were living at home and required care for daily activities. The need to manage assets, screen long-term care facilities and understand elder law and how it applies to them was paramount. We reached out to Attorney Tully for support in understanding elder care law and hired him at our first meeting. The depth of expertise in elder care law and his ability to simplify it to make sense to us was obvious and continued throughout. Attorney Tully and his staff prepared applications (Veteran's Administration and Title 19) and answered our many questions as we worked through the process. This included managing my parents assets to comply with applicable elder care law. There were numerous face-to-face meetings and conference calls. I should mention that our contract with Attorney included a lump sum payment which, while expensive, was worthwhile. My parents are in a long term care facility. Though terms of the contract have been met Attorney Tully and staff are still available to answer questions. Attorney Tully was often delayed in returning calls and responding to requests for for information. The best way to reach him was by requesting a meeting. His support staff was exceptional in responding to questions and requests for information.

We hired Dan for our elder care issues. My mother-in-law has dementia and we wanted to keep her at home as long as possible. Dan has been able to do that with all the help he has provided. He has guided us through the veterans and state processes to get us the help we really needed to keep her at home. Dan listened to what we needed and he was able to give us answers and alternatives to make sure we understood all the options available to us. Together we made a plan that worked beautifully to help us keep my mother-in-law at home. We don't have many worries about the future thanks to Dan and all the work his office did for us.

Super unprofessional, inexperienced quite rude I might add it was a terrible experience working this man and I hope no one makes the same mistake as me and my family it has taken him over 6 months to speaks with client. And that’s not even the half of it please for your sakes do not pick Robert

Whatever your case, you should run it by Atty. Pickering. He is an accomplished Criminal Defense Lawyer! I was faced with a restraining order. Allegations were made that although not true if they had not been confronted by Atty. Pickering, the end result could have had adverse consequences. Atty. Pickering studied my case and into Court we went. Atty. Pickering is polite, engaging and friendly, however when the hearing began he was all business. His cross examination skills are unmatched, the questions that he asked of the complainant forced the truth to come out. The end result, the complainant's credibility was destroyed. Atty. Pickering was relentless in the pursuit of justice. Atty. Pickering will defend you zealously, aggressively and rightfully!! Atty. Pickering is a staunch Courtroom Advocate. You need to look no further than Atty. Pickering as he has more than what it takes to represent your legal matters, Court hearing or Trial!! You need Attorney Robert Pickering to be your Courtroom Advocate.

Do not trust this law firm. Totally unprofessional. They have already disclosed & distributed confidential psychiatric records to people who had no business being in possession of them. This law firm also effectively stole a dead clients money and had to return most of it under the duress of a judge when the law firm owner was in court. The firm has lost one client 1.5 billion dollars in a high profile defamation case. The law firm owner has been known to drop his pants at a pizzeria and yell the N Word at the only black person in there. There's more but this should be enough.

20 May, 2024 by Anonymous

Attorney Williams betrayed my trust. I hired him because the prosecutor of New Haven engaged in misconduct and I could not trust that she would protect myself and my children. My ex-spouse was charged with 14 felony charges ranging from rape to strangulation to suffocation. Attorney Williams lied to the prosecutor. He stated that I was no longer interested in pressing charges and that I had moved out of state, neither of which were true. I now face a lifetime of risk due to his malpractice.

Campbell Barrett took on my divorce case but had limited time to work on my case. After a year of filing motions and never appearing in court, to defend the filed motions I hired a second lawyer to get me through the divorce process. If I had not done this we would have gone to trial and spent most of the settlement. Please don’t let his lash offices fool you… You are paying dearly for them with. He offered very few results

Zingaro & Cretella lied to me incessantly and mishandled my case to a point their grotesque negligence made me lose everything I had. They told me things like 'you can't impute income in family court'. And how women are NOT eligible for child support with two young children and an ex making over $500,000 a year. These folks have no idea what the law is, or they are absolute con artists who should not be in practice. Attorney Zingaro's behavior was not only egregious, but also highly inappropriate. My last interaction was grabbing my file and leaving their office in fear for my safety. He was physically and emotionally out of control. Even his staff was scared. Please reach out to me before choosing this firm to represent you. I will gladly supply you with documentation and details. Please take this decision very seriously.

He is a super aggressive type of lawyer. He asked clients to lie and make false accusations to win. I heard so many terrible stories about him to break relationships between soon-to-be husbands and wives, which is terrible for their children. He always works with certain Guardian Ad Litem to ensure his cases. One of my clients did one hour consultation with him, his questionnaire asks if people come to purely block him.

This being my first divorce, and with my ex. trying to make it much harder that it should have been,even thou there was a Pre-Nup in involved. Atty. Forbes explained to me what was going to happen and what the law would allow. But they wanted to break it anyway. With over 30+ years of experience, I felt Confident with him. He suggested a plan and we stuck with it. Deposition's included. The results were great. He was able to get a ruling, and I divorced, one month before the trial, and saved me many hours and heartache. In closing, I could not have asked of better results.

I had been sent to Atty. William Forbes from another atty. who recommended Mr. Forbes to help me get divorced. I found Atty Forbes to be confident in the areas needed to get the whole process done without alot of drama and he advised me nicely as to how the process of divorce normally proceeds and as to the time line of how the required documents take place. He also helped negotiate the differences between the parties so that it would be less costly to me . In all matters Atty. Forbes was very professional and informative as to how the court system deals with divorce. The information helped me remain calm and he seemed very confident that all things would work itself out as long as I kept my wits about me and he helped put things into perspective so that I could remain positive and calm .I work an off shift and he accommodated my needs as to the times he could meet with me. I'm glad I went with Atty. William Forbes to handle my divorce and would tell any one to sit and talk with him about any court actions as he seems knowledgeable about other areas than just family matters, he also did my refinancing of the house due to the divorce and knew people to assist me in getting a mortgage quickly so things went smoothly. As a matter of fact the whole office staff worked with my case and were very helpful in assisting me in all the matters affecting my court dealings.

I hired Attorney Erickson to handle several legal matters over several years. Land transactions, business law and elder law issues. She is by far one of the top legal advisors and producers that I have used for a 30+ years period of time.

I could not disagree more with the gentleman that posted prior to this. In most cases the client plays a huge role in the attorney/client relationship. Enough said! I hired Atty Erickson to represent me in a complex estate case. She is extremely knowlegable, compassionate, warm, friendly, organized, on her game and above all ETHICAL. There are times when I have dragged my feet for health/work related issues and she has been more than kind and patient. In fact, I will probably hire her again for my personal estate planning. She is 10 steps above the so called hi-powered atty I hired in Hartfort to represent me in another estate case. I have had both bad and great representation. If I could give Atty Erickson 10 stars I would. This gentleman's comment is far and wide not representative of what I have experienced. I don't typically write reviews, but I caught this review when I was looking up my atty's phone number. It irked me so much I decided to take the time out of my busy schedule to post a reflection of my experience. I am all about fair and that comment is most unfair and atypical, I'm sure. The public needs to hear from someone who sees things very differently.

Never answers calls. even if she makes an appointment with you, she wont be there. Being involved in a law suit is stressfull enough, you do not need a lawyer that does not have the time for you.
