Had such a great experience with Monarch law for the closing of our home. They were professional, knowledgeable and efficient in all aspects, and not to mention exceedingly patient with our 17 month old during our paperwork. We highly recommend anyone looking for a well executed closing!

When my husband passed away and I needed an attorney in CT, I was recommended to Attorney John Drapp. I thought it would be difficult because I live in Florida. Attorney Drapp was responsive, kept me well informed of the probate process, helped me by filling out forms that to me were not as easy to understand with all the law lingo. He not only helped me get my husbands estate through probate quickly and efficiently but also recommended another attorney I had to hire to get tenants out of the estate and recommended a realtor that helped sell the house within 3 days after we received approval! I am so grateful to Attorney John Drapp! He also addressed emails all times day and night so I always felt even though we didn’t meet, he had my back. This is an attorney who you can trust and was a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend him!

Jane reviewed our wills and helped us update Powers of Attorney some time ago. She and her office staff are easy to work with and determined to do what is needed well.

Matt Sadler represented me in a personal injury matter. I was impressed by his diligence and professionalism. He explained to me clearly what my options were and guided me every step of the way. He always returned my phone calls. I was very happy with the way my case was resolved and I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Matthew Sadler is an amazing attorney. He has helped me on several legal matters and needs. Unfortunately, I have been involved in a few unjust situations in which my options appeared limited, and a satisfactory resolution seemed out of reach. I met with many attorneys who would not take my case because I had already won my arbitration, and they did not want to tackle the many gray areas in my case. My situation was particularly challenging, one that would likely (and did) daunt less talented attorneys. I found that the lawyers that I contacted either didn’t want to take on a case that was primarily based on moral principle or they were too afraid of fighting the opposition.
Matt Sadler was different. He refused to be intimidated and was not afraid to take on my adversaries. More importantly, he was willing to fight tirelessly to ensure that I received the justice I deserved. I was impressed with Matt’s work ethic for so many reasons. He always listened to me, took the time to read through my documents carefully, and probed further when more information was needed. Matt was honest, professional, organized, transparent, and candid when he needed to be. He always communicated with me in a timely manner and kept me informed about matters pertaining to my case.
Matt personally addressed my case when it came time to go to trial, guiding me calmly through every step and ensuring that the process was civil and dignified. During the proceedings, Matt was completely focused with an aptitude that made me feel like his most important client. Ultimately, Matt negotiated a settlement that was satisfactory to me. Although more than seven years have passed since I first started working with him, I continue to send family and friends to Matt’s law firm. I recommend Matt unequivocally. There is no other attorney who compares to him. He has a high level of expertise in his field, and he has clearly demonstrated a high level of competence, capabilities, and compassion for justice.
If you have a need for exceptional legal representation in personal injury, labor law or any other legal matter, I emphatically recommend the Sadler Law Group. You will indeed be fortunate if you acquire his services. I am extremely grateful to Matt Sadler for resolving my legal issues, and he will forever be a hero to my family and me.
Thank you,
Dan Nolan

If there was a 100 star option I would leave it for Janis and her staff.
Janis helped me through a 2 year battle with my now ex-husband regarding both custody and finances. Janis wasn’t just my divorce attorney throughout all this, she was a coach, a therapist, a friend. When things were rough she would get on the phone with me to help make sure I was in a good headspace. She constantly reminded me it was a marathon, not a sprint. I felt taken care of during the entire process.
Not only is she extremely compassionate and caring to her clients but she is also a pitbull when it is needed in the courtroom. She comes well prepared into hearings and trials and has an extensive knowledge not only of family law, but of the Connecticut court systems. It is clear that she is well respected by her peers, the judges and court room staff.
Janis’ staff also goes above and beyond for her clients. Rebekah is always friendly and helpful on the phone and perpetually has a great attitude. Sue does wonderful work for the clients. The office is very responsive to phone calls and emails and does a great job at getting you in to meetings.
If you are in need of a divorce attorney, no need to look at further, Laliberte Law is the place to go.

What can I say about Laliberte Law, simply put “they just get it”!
I was recommended to Janis by a trusted friend, I quickly discover that Janis personally has three plus decades of experience, solely focus on divorces. It only took five minutes with Janis and her team to know that these folks really cared about what they do and what I had to say. They cared about me as a person, going through hard times, and not just another case.
I came to their office feeling alone and lost, and even a bit scared, in the craziness of it all. We immediately struct up a dialog, Janis was empathic to my situation. She patiently listened to my story, and the facts as I knew them. She never “yessed” me. Janise was engaging from the very start, asking me for more details on key topics, and pushing back on me when I started to stray off track. Janis made me feel relaxed, I knew I could tell her anything. She made very clear that she could only best represent me if I was completely open and honest. I knew I had found the team that would fight for me, be in my corner, by my side through the entire process.
Janis stepped me through how the process worked and what would be expected of me. She told me her primary goal was to get to a final resolution as quickly as possible. She instilled a confidence in me that in the end, I would be positioned to move on with my life.
She fought in the trenches for me, was my voice when no one would listen, she challenges my spouse’s lawyers, and the mediator. Backing down is not her style. She kept in constant contact with me every step of the way. I had total confidence in her and her team.
In the end I was very happy with the outcome. I don’t know what I would have done without Laliberte Law representing me. They changed my life and I’m eternally grateful.

Absolutely outstanding attorney! The best of the best. Janis knows how the system works and will steer you in the right direction. She's kind and practical, brilliant and tough! What more do you need? In my case she consulted and advised me right out of a lengthy and costly legal battle that previous lawyers could not do. With her sage advise I got into superb hands and was able to mediate with a retired judge. Thank you Janis for finding me the road back. Forever grateful!

I recently spoke to John Mager about retaining him to represent me for my custody case. I was highly recommended to him by another top attorney that represented my friend in another area of the state. John was not able to take my case because the courts dates conflicted with his schedule, but John was extremely compassionate and spent over 45 minutes on the phone with me (and I concluded the call, not him, he seemed as if he would stay on the phone as long as I needed, even though I know he was very busy with other cases) , providing me with advice on how to find another attorney, and gave me some recommendations on who to call. I was really impressed with how kind John was to spend this time helping me just out of the kindness of his heart. It is such a difficult task to find a good attorney, so I wanted to offer my advice since I have done some homework on this, and what I can say is that the attorney that referred him has excellent results in Stamford courts and he wouldn't have recommended John if John wasn't great with this area of the law.

Attorney John Mager helped me with a boyfriend who became abusive and began to stalk me. He quickly put an end to it. He stated, "I don't think you will hear from him again." I didn't. I also used Attorney Joe Mager for a closing on a house. He seemed to be extremely busy and it was hard to get ahold of him, but everything was done correctly and I had no problems.

I originally sought a divorce/separation consultation from Attorney Crane and due to her complete honest feedback and well thought out options I decided on hiring her. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed next to impossible. Attorney Crane was extremely thorough, very persistent in achieving a positive resolution, diligently research focused, fair priced, goal oriented, and always provided timely and honest feedback and answers to all my questions. Not only did she provide an outstanding service where I was able to accomplish a desired result for me and my family during my time of need, uncertainty, and heartache, but she was able to defend me from unjust accusations as well. Her calm, professional and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support and hope to myself and those I care about most. My children and I are eternally grateful for her service and I sincerely trust her with any legal need as well as the lives of me and my and children. I highly recommend Attorney Crane without reservation.

Greg is an excellent lawyer. I sought his counsel before signing contracts and developing my own art business contracts. I can honestly say that he made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about what contracts means, what they should include, legalese language etc. He explained it in simple terms which I really appreciated. He is extremely patient, prompt, and responsive. I was very happy with his service and will continue to seek his counsel in my future endeavors. I highly recommend him!

I worked with Greg to set up my small business and I'm so incredibly glad I did! I had not business experience whatsoever and was very nervous about the entire process. Greg was extremely reassuring, reliable, responsive to all of my needs, and he gave the much needed confidence to get through the entire process. He's prompt and on top of the communication process, logistics with documents, etc. which was wonderful. I would absolutely hire him again in a heart beat, and I am always happy to rant and rave about him to my colleagues and friends!

I contacted a few law firms before... Finally, I chose Jessica E. Ayala. The way she greeted me made me feel like I was a very important client and took consideration for any conditions I had at the time. Jessica E. Ayala and her staff Deborah Jones provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism, knowledgeable, and attention to all details with my lawsuit. Jessica and her staff were very helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. It was my first time suing a Landlord for injuring myself at my complex, as well as helping me obtain my security deposit back . Jessica and her staff was with me every step of the way. She took the time to explain to me page by page about some documents I received from my Landlord, which by the way it was on her spare time to answer all of my concerns. She responded on every email and text that I had questions and concerns and I received all answers. Jessica made herself available whenever I needed her. Thank you Jessica once again on doing a great job. I would highly recommend Jessica E. Ayala and her firm to assist you with any problems, concerns, or injuries. I am very grateful for their excellent hard work. I had a positive experience and will recommend her to my family and friends. You will not regret reaching out to Jessica and her staff.

Joe was a tremendous resource during my divorce. He listened intently during our initial consultation, and ultimately understood how to work WITH me. Throughout the process he was interested in how I wanted to handle and approach each step. He didn't hesitate to recommend alternate approaches to reach my end goals, but never overstepped. He understood that I was the one who had to live with the result.
Joe's legal knowledge and guidance was always spot on. He helped me fully understand the difference between my "wants" and what the law would allow. No Surprises. That was critical to managing my expectations, and helped me to better prepare for the next stage of my life.
Joe was GREAT at helping me manage the financial side of the process. He explained his costs and the billing process. No unnecessary phone calls, no unnecessary meetings. We spoke when we needed to, period. In the end, costs for the process were about 1/3 of my ex-wife's. Not because his rates were cheaper, but because he and I managed the process better.
I would recommend Joe to anyone who, God forbid, needs to go through this process.

Attorney Michael Devlin has represented my company for over 2 decades mainly in the area of labor and employment law but has also provided counsel in other areas. As the President & CEO of a mid-sized company legal counsel is a continual requisite and Attorney Devlin provides it second to none. He is easily accessible and has an uncanny memory for minute details which often are the decisive elements. Attorney Devlin interacts well with our entire team and has become an invaluable asset to our company. I would recommend Attorney Devlin to anyone in need of a competent, fair priced and results oriented labor/employment attorney.

He is an excellent resource in brainstorming over sensitive employee relations matters, and in more formal litigation procedures, can be counted on to be thoroughly prepared, super skilled in depositions and other discovery proceedings, and readily available. Lastly, I have always appreciated the fact that Attorney Devlin has never "overlawyered" any situation that I have utilized his services for.

I hired attorney Ellson to handle my divorce case. By the time Laurel and I met I was already working with second attorney and felt that I needed to replace her urgently. Laurel made the transition very easy despite the lack of cooperation from my previous attorney. Laurel’s professional style is a unique combination of toughness and kindness. Most divorces are very draining emotionally and having a compassionate attorney by your side is a huge benefit. While being very kind and supportive towards me Laurel, at the same time, was reasonably demanding towards the other party. At times it felt that the case could have progressed quicker but it may be a general feeling when going through a divorce. Having dealt with three attorneys during my divorce I would certainly recommend Laurel Ellson!
