Attorney Ron Scott is an excellent lawyer. He represented me (pro-Bono) in a divorce lawsuit that was embroiled in a tedious custody & child support gridlock, with international jurisdiction complications. In all, and throughout the unnecessary 2.5 years lengthiness that included lawsuits in family courts and the higher court of Appeal, he provided top notch representation by brilliantly assessing facts and impeccably arguing to achieve victory, in multiple motions and hearings. His negotiation skills are stellar and he works very well with the different aspects of the entire ordeal including court administration, the bench and interface civil and public legal system reps (e.g. GAL, Family Relations, Child Support Bureau). I gladly recommend Attorney Ron Scott to anyone looking for a lawyer and hoping to achieve victory in family related lawsuits.

Attorney Scott first represented me in 2009 in a divorce and did a thorough and professional job. He has since represented me on a number of other legal matters with my ex wife, and each time, he has impressed me with his compassion, his responsiveness, his legal savvy, and his legal knowledge and preparedness. Each time he took difficult and tense moments, and simplified and eased them so that we were able to arrive at favorable outcomes. I would recommend him without hesitation, and I would hire him again if the need ever arose.

I had an out of state custody case but needed clarification and a legal document from a CT judge regarding jurisdiction. I called on Attorney Ron Scott. He took my call right away, worked miracles to get exactly what I needed and in record time! It might have been a small request compared to the large cases he handles but his timely facilitation of the legal paperwork was far from small. I wasn't going to move forward without it. I was very impressed that he even took my call, returned all my calls quickly and expeditiously handled my requests! He made no distinction between a very small client and one who would bring in a huge case for the firm. I can't give him enough praise at how impressed I was.

She made the case go smoothly with all the evidence she presented in court. I am very satisfied with her services and with the way she handled my case. The fact that she is bilingual helped us a lot as I felt I could communicate with her one hundred percent. I would recommend Attorney De Castro Foden to anyone who wants to be represented correctly.

Mr. Alter served as counsel for the Unsecured Creditors Committee in a complex bankruptcy involving 11 jointly administered cases. His extensive knowledge of bankruptcy law earned the respect of the other case attorneys and he was instrumental in resolving issues and developing strategies. While Mr. Alter has the ability to fight hard for his clients, he demonstrated particular skill as a consensus builder by bringing several disparate parties together to reach agreement in a relatively short period of time. Mr. Alter was completely engaged in our cause, whether working as a valued member of the team of attorneys in finding solutions or in responding to the needs of his clients. We were kept fully informed and educated throughout the process and I believe that it is a consequence of Mr. Alter's commitment, knowledge and skill that we achieved a highly successful outcome.

I served as the Chairman of the Unsecured Creditors Committee in these Chapter 11 cases involving 8 separate but related golf and country clubs and 3 additional service or holding companies. My background is as a finance and M & A partner with 30 years experience with one of the nation's largest firms. The unsecured creditors included well over 2,000 club members and numerous trade creditors. Jonathan was an excellent advisor to and fiduciary for the many different types of unsecured creditors. He made a number of formal and webinar presentations to club members. Most of the club members were completely unfamiliar with bankruptcy principles. Jonathan made clear presentations and he was well received in all cases. He was extremely responsive to literally hundreds of e-mail and telephone inquiries from club members. He was so well respected by the Chief Reorganization Officer of the Debtors, the senior executives of the Plan Sponsor (which purchased the clubs as the key element of the confirmed Chapter 11 cases), and their respective counsel, that he was asked to join them in presentations to members. Jonathan is keenly aware of the legal issues in Chapter 11 cases, but perhaps more importantly, he is very practical in assessing what can realistically be accomplished. He is a "deal maker". He understands when compromise is warranted and when it is not. Jonathan provided a realistic budget and came in below budget. I practiced in a large law firm for many years and I was very impressed by his efficiency and his accurate budgeting. Excellent public speaker. Able to convey a number of points in a convincing and logical manner, all while weaving his presentation into an effective and complete perspective of the entire case. He is "always" available, whether by phone or e-mail. Jonathan works well as the principal contact for his team or as the principal negotiator. I recommend him highly.

My experiencing working with Seth was nothing less than exceptional. Together we navigated difficult legal issues complicated by an out-of-state divorce, a poorly constructed financial agreement, and a highly litigious and unreasonable plaintiff who not surprisingly is also the mother of my children. I learned the hard way that being the sole breadwinner established me as the 2nd rate parent (she was the 'primary caregiver' because I went to work M-F) and set us up for all kinds of irresponsible family and financial expectations. Crazy stuff, but this is what happens when we find ourselves needing courts to sort out family matters. I fought hard to stay an involved father and to keep the family in-state where my job was successfully maturing. Following a 2 day trial I failed, and the children moved out-of-state against my wishes. I was left with an unsustainable parenting plan that involved a ridiculous amount of driving and the fallout of a hastily assembled financial agreement settled before the trial. This poorly worded and poorly understood agreement remained a source of problems for the next 10+ years. Eventually I chose to relocate to CT to the same town my children lived in, compromising and eventually losing my now out-of-state job. While unemployed, I was unable to achieve a successful hearing to adjust child support and filed contempt of court charges while self-represented. Again facing a round of legal conflict I secured legal representation with Freed Marcroft and Seth was assigned to my case. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Seth is both an exceptional lawyer and a person with integrity. Seth did an amazing job. He was easy to talk with, personable, and laser focused on sorting out legal arguments. What impressed me most about Seth was his ability to quickly see unproductive tangents for what they were: time consuming distractions that drive up legal costs and muddy the waters. Seth focused on key issues important to potential settlements or a judge's pending decisions. He was a rock star in the courtroom. Courteous, professional, and again laser focused. As a client, I also contributed significantly. I was honest and fully disclosed everything relevant to the case. I kept excellent records and made all of them available to Seth as needed. I was also an outstanding witness, speaking a truth fully consistent with all the supporting documentation. For 10+ years I did what was expected of me, and tried my best to stay on the high road. Finally it paid off. Following yet another 2 day trial the outcome was fully in my favor and reasonable adjustments immediately followed. My original contempt charges were upheld. I have no doubt that the legal advice I received, and the legal representation provided to me were key driving factors in this favorable outcome. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who wants to take the high road and achieve fairness in their divorce settlement.

I hired Tim after being in a rear-end collision. I tried to work with the other driver's insurance company but was getting nowhere. Immediately after contacting Tim's office, the driver's insurance company sent out a claims adjuster since my car was totaled and settled the property damage claims within days. He also fought for me regarding my personal injury settlement which I received a larger settlement than what I was expecting. At no time did my emails/calls go unanswered with questions that I had and his staff keep me informed with every step of the process. I recommend him highly.

We hired Timothy Brignole at the advise of another attorney who had looked at our case. He has provided us with exceptional service, he does not give up and he goes to the end. There are many attorneys who back down when things aren't going as you would like in a case. He is not that attorney. His paralegals also return calls and emails immediately no matter how small the concern. We have referred Mr. Brignole as a personal injury lawyer to others and he has served them with the same professionalism and tenacity that gets the results you are looking for. Before we hired him we looked up cases that he had one and the list was quite impressive. He is obviously respected by his peers, that is the true mark of success. We would use no one else .

I originally was referred to Shipman and Goodwin by another attorney. After interviewing with Jim and Bill, I was convinced this was the legal team I wanted to take over my automobile accident lawsuit. Throughout the entire duration of my case, the attention, professionalism and care that Jim displayed with his associates, lacked in absolutely nothing short of perfection. My case was wrought with problems and issues; Shipman and Goodwin was the 4th firm I had hired, and needless to say I was very apprehensive by the time I retained their services. Jim handled very sensitive and personal information with attentive, courteous and polite methods, making me feel protected and safe, while guiding and prepping me through the legal proceedings before my trial. At no time during the period of 2 years did I ever doubt his abilities or experience in the process. I knew that if I was to get through my case with a positive outcome, that there was no better firm or set of attorneys out there to complete the job. I was impressed with both Jim and Bill's varying skills, complimenting each other within different realms of my case, with the end result of tying up any loose or unfinished details, making for a completely thorough case to be presented for a jury trial. When jury time came, they were completely ready to present the facts. I highly recommend Jim and Bill at Shipman and Goodwin, it made a truly unpleasant process comfortable and less stressful. I refer them to anyone I know needing legal assistance. I am deeply grateful for their professional guidance and care with my case.

You should not underestimate this attorney. She may have only been in practice for four years but it is just a matter of time before she is recognized as a "super lawyer." In addition to her intelligence and nimble legal mind, she has an uncanny ability to assess the opposition's strengths and weaknesses. She has a quiet and professional demeanor that puts the client at ease. In my personal experience, this serves her well as the opposition tended to underestimate her. She is kind, helpful, insightful and always on the mark. You definitely want her in your corner. If she agrees to represent you, then you should be grateful. Become one of her clients now!

I will be forever grateful to Attorney Christine Whitehead for the outstanding legal representation that she provided from start to finish in my unwanted divorce. She was top-notch in all ways and offered the most amazing support throughout a terribly painful time in my life. I truly can't say enough about what a wonderful attorney and human being Chris is. She was the silver lining in my divorce.

Counsel Ira was a reliable, excellent advocate for me throughout the divorce process. He answered questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. He accomplished this via email and phone conversations. Also, he displays a caring and punctiliousness towards his clients. I can personally vouch and have seen him in action. At times, in intense negotiations, when the parties emotionally break down due to the difficult process, he his calm and continues working for the client. I only plan on going through the a divorce process once. I am forever grateful that Attorney Ira was with me all the way through and afterwards.

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.
