I had a great experience working with Andrew! He was quick to respond when I initially reached out with questions regarding an employment contract, and he set up an in-person meeting within two days. During our meeting he went over the contract point by point, and addressed all areas of concern in a manner that was very easy to understand. He laid out multiple paths on how to proceed, and gave his input on what he thought of each option. He made me feel very comfortable in my decision and helped alleviate a lot of anxiety during a difficult time. I would absolutely recommend Andrew!

Attorney Arcaro was an amazing attorney and advocate for me throughout my bankruptcy case. He was well informed and responded to all my inquiries in a timely manner. My mother passed during this time and Greg was supportive and guided me through all the additional decisions I needed to make. I feel blessed to have had greg as my attorney.

Attorney Arcaro recently represented me in a Chapter 7 case. He and his firm exceeded all of my expectations. My case was not a small undertaking, it was quite complex. They patiently walked me through, what was to me, a confusing and scary process. They reassuringly answered my never ending list of questions without hesitation. It was a pleasure doing business with Attorney Arcaro through this process. He has earned my highest recommendation and respect.

This review is long overdue, Attorney Isaac is a true professional, I was in a very difficult situation, and he told me exactly what was going to happen, and how well it would work out. I could not have been more satisfied with the result. If you ever need an Attorney, He is top shelf.

It is with pleasure I write this review of Atty Leonard “ Lenny “Isaac. I’m not sure any amount of words will do justice for how I feel about the professionalism and knowledge that Lenny utilized while handling my affairs. He is absolutely one of the finest Attys I’ve used over the last 35 plus years in business. He cares about the client. He fights hard to protect his clients and in this case successfully saw my situation to the desired conclusion. I can say with great confidence that anyone who makes the choice to hire him will never regret it. My case was against an insurance company that was not dealing fairly and resulted in the need for Legal representation. I’m sure the process would not have been handled as efficiently as it was with Lenny had I used another law firm. Thank you Lenny.

I was a client of Attorney Laudati. He knows the judicial system inside out and directs you through the myriad of courts and paperwork. The advantage of Attorney Laudati is how available he makes himself to your questions and explanations. There was nothing I did not like about his services. He saw me through my divorce and always made me aware of the pitfalls and aftermath of the process. I don't think there could be a better attorney in the Hartford County circa than this lawyer.

I hired Kenny for my divorce. He is smart, honest, compassionate, strong, and will fight for you throughout your case. No one ever prepares you for divorce, but Kenny navigated through the process every step of the way. His costs were reasonable and fair. My divorce was not an easy case and Kenny not only helped me on the legal side but also helped through the emotional aspects of divorce. He is fair and always looks out for your best interest. I recommend him without hesitation! You will not be disappointed.

Attorney Rosenfield kept a positive and realistic attitude while representing me in an emotional case. He was candid as to what to expect in regard to the outcome. He mastered the complexities of the issues in my case and expertly handled and expedited the negotiations. He is a practical, business minded attorney who know the law and demonstrates the finesse needed to represent each of his clients individually. He's not only a good attorney, he's a nice person!

Attorney McWeeny was able to pursue my rights to have a companion animal in my apartment building after my Landlord said I couldn't. There was no significant notice or corresponding paperwork which said it wasn't allowed. Attorney McWeeny was compassionate and very understanding of my situation. Tucker epitomizes class, honesty and integrity I would recommend him to anyone I cared about. I am forever grateful that he allowed for snickerdoodle my mix breed Yorkie to stay in my building!

Looking for a rental apartment, I was denied based on a 20 year old Felony. I looked up the CT law regarding this and saw a newly passed bill which the rental company did not comply with. Tucker McWeeny was the ONLY attorney who took my case. I sent out dozens of emails to local attorneys. No other attorney wanted to deal with an ex addict fighting for my rights over a 20 year old criminal conviction. Tucker was able to fight for my civil rights as a Connecticut resident and settled my case quickly. He responded to my emails in a timely fashion and walked me through his strategy step-by-step, and was even willing to explain everything line-by-line. The guy is awesome. Tucker cares about Civil Rights violations, discrimination, rights concerning rental background and screening violations, and will fight for you when landlords use your criminal records against you in housing decisions within the State of Connecticut.

Initial consultation was Free, 1 hr and he made an impression. I hired Attorney Day to represent me in a Divorce & Custody dispute. So far, i am happy with his work. He is always by my side to guide me to make the best judgement given my peculiar situation. I find him very honest and realistic. You won't get a better representation out there in my opinion. You don't need someone to promise you the world, you need a Professional who will help you navigate the judiciary System. You need Attorney Day!!!

I thought I found a diamond in the rough with Robert who is an attorney, accountant, and marriage and family therapist all in one with a relatively low hourly rate to boot, but he failed in each of those roles during our mediation.  As an attorney, he inaccurately claimed the court would not expect my wife to work, that litigation would cost more than mediation, and that I should agree to forfeit custody of my son to live with his maternal aunt in another state near my wife who abandoned us, while mediation was still proceeding and before we even agreed on any other terms.  This was also an example of the bias he had and failure as a therapist, advocating for one party and advising me to do something that no one would advise their own client to do.  This was consistent with his pattern of almost exclusively pressuring me to make unilateral concessions like giving up custody and not challenging my wife, ending every session with a backhanded but false warning that litigation would cost more than mediation.  As an accountant he failed by changing our bill so many times it was difficult to know what was accurate.  One practice in particular he used was to collect the standard session fee and much later claim more money was owed since the session took longer than the allotted time even though I paid him at the end of each session or even a day later once.  Even though his hourly rate was relatively low, I felt like I was being nickled and dimed, especially with all the billing/accounting errors he made.  In the end, his biased advocacy for my wife emboldened her to unsuccessfully litigate for custody of our son in the middle of mediation, destroying the mediation process and completely wasting the $10,000 I paid for it.  I found a good attorney in the local court system who advised me as I represented myself which only cost me $3,000 total and ended with my son staying in my custody and me paying 2.5 years of alimony rather than the 7-10 Robert advocated.  Litigation is not always cheaper than mediation nor vice versa, but Robert was clearly a failure.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
