She reviewed the documents I sent her, contacted our title insurance and obtained a resolution for us by the end of business day on Monday. She is clearly very dedicated to assisting her clients and I will not hesitate to use her again for future matters.

It is so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you without being rushed or bombarded with terms you don’t understand. She guided me thru the refinancing process for my home and also helped me to set up personal papers for my health proxy and will. I will definitely keep her as my attorney.

I was arrested in retaliation of filing ethics complaints exposing embezzlement in the Stamford Government. I hired Devin Janosov when my first 2 Attys acted with malice to hide a video I had from day 1 proving my innocence and refused to obtain or compel exculpatory discovery that proves my defense. . My first 3 Attys hide video evidence proving my innocence and acted with malice to get me committed into the mental ward in violation of court law criminal procedures " Title 54 "allows someone deemed incompetent to be a volunteer in an out patient program. My first 2 attorneys allowed the judge to conceal exculpatory video to hurt my defense and commit me to the mental ward illegally. Atty Janosov concealed my videos evidence (from the court) proving my defense to help the SA cause me great harm. Atty Janosov and my 2 former attorneys all acted with malice to hide my rights to receive a "Nolle Prosequi" as the court rules to have my charges dismiss as the law of the court provides sec: 54-56 2 (A) "the court shall approve a "nolle prosequi" that dismisses the charges with out the courts approval. This is an automatic dismissal of the charges as per the rule. The court does not have the right to deny it. Atty Devin Janosov never received any exculpatory evidence because he allowed the SA to conceal all evidence to support my defense the whole time he defended me (1 year) . He refused to file motion to compel discovery for 1 year. Atty Janosov never represented any of the 6 motions we filed to cause me great harm and he allow the SA to conceal all exculpatory evidence including the list of witness the SA intended to call in their prosecution the whole times he represented me for 2 years and 1 month. Janosov never took action to make the State identify the witnesses I had on my video proving my innocence for over 1 year. Janosov concealed a video with SPD Police Captain validating my innocence on video for over 1 years to hinder my defense and cause me great harm. Atty Janosov received some discovery in Sept 2021 and he refused to let me review it even though I paid him to obtain it for me. Atty Devin Janosov never told me I could use my house for collateral to avoid shelling out $30k in out of pocket bail fees. He took my money to defend me against criminal charges fabricated against me. Stamford police got caught on video when they fabricated false arrests on me to hide my complaints exposing embezzlement and misconduct of the Board of Ethics / Stamford government. Atty Janosov never represented a motion for me or told the judge I had a video proving my defense for over 2 years while allowing the courts to conceal evidence I needed to support my defense. Atty Janosov asked the judge to be withdrawn from my case and the judge let Atty Janosov keep $3.750 from me with out ever doing anything to help me for over 2 years. Devin Janosov breach his contract to represent me, represent motions for me and compel discovery, but he keep all my money with the help of the judge. Devin Janosov never filed for a " nolle prosequi " as per court law title 54 sec: 2A) My right to dismiss all charges because I completed the competency program as a patient committed into the mental ward (in violation of title 54 procedures (the lawyers and court violated my rights under title 54 to be an outpatient as a volunteer to gain competence). I would not recommend this lawyer. SM

Devin has always had a strong dedication to the practice of law, and deeply cares about his clients. Beyond his commitment to his clients, he elevates the practice itself by helping other attorneys to grow and better represent their clients. He and his firm are constantly receiving awards and acknowledgment for a reason - they're some of the best attorneys in the field.

Kenneth represented us in a real estate transaction for a new construction in Fairfield County, Connecticut. We ended up not proceeding with the purchase partly due to our experience with Ken Gruder. Working with Mr. Gruder left us confused throughout the entire process. While he was reachable, his responses ranged from 1-3 words which included, "Yes" "No" and "Depends." His advice included waiting until we received certain documents and then once we received the documents, he failed to interpret the documents clearly or advise us on a clear path forward. This substandard work on the project did not stop him from sending us an $850 bill despite not completing the contract, price negotiations, or a title search. There were errors that we had to point out such as an update to the purchase price once the price was renegotiated. Terrible experience

We have used Ken’s services 25 times and recommend him and his firm at least 100 times since 2003. He is the most knowledgeable and protective attorney I have ever used. He is respected by the other side and his empathy towards his clients is very comforting. Every person I have recommended to Ken has thanked me. I am in Real estate as a Landlord, broker and client. He makes deals happen and enlightens less knowledgeable adversaries on the law. I have been a landlord for 40 years and wish I had met Ken sooner. What a combination, Ken is super knowledgeable, always returns your calls, very upbeat, and very fair in his pricing.

We hired Attorney Gruder for our home purchase in the Lake Mohegan section of Fairfield Connecticut in July of 2015. During the contract negotiations, he served as a fierce and tenacious advocate, demonstrated his deep understanding of real estate law and provided invaluable legal counsel. Attorney Gruder and his entire staff were responsive when we had any legal questions. I highly recommend Attorney Gruder.

Frank was not a good attorney at all. He did not represent my boyfriend properly. He completely screwed him with his sentencing and lied about what was said to the judge in court and did not contact us for over three months up until his final court date, he never answered and even blocked our number. He also did not make sure hi ls current jail credit was applied and leave us to try and scramble to tie up all these loose ends ourselves, it took forever for him to do anything. If you don’t want to do the work, don’t take the case. He begged him to move his sentencing up and he wouldn’t even do that. I do not recommend him at all. You should be ashamed of yourself playing with peoples lives this way.

Alice was able to quickly and effectively understand the background and complexities with my ongoing mediation case and provide immediate and lasting value at a fair price to help me reach the resolution needed in the best possible way. She was able to gut check suspicious behaviors from the mediating law firm, advise on best course of action and calmly and clearly explain to me my possible choices and what the implications would be. She is available and communicative. She always fights for her clients and really cares about them. I will literally never go to another lawyer without asking her advice - she saved me in many ways and I cannot thank her enough!

Alice McQuaid is the rare attorney who professional, ethical and compassionate. She cares about both truth and justice. Mrs McQuaid very skillfully protected me, and my children, from a deliberate criminally inaccurate lie. Without her help, this lie would have impacted my life as well as the lives of my children. Alice McQuaid's defended me and my family from a malicious attempt at slander, professionally and quickly. She was prepared in every way go as far as needed to prevent a desperate, spiteful, and unbalanced person from harming us. She fearlessly prevailed in every way. Justice was served. She remains my lawyer. And one I would not hesitate to call day or night if needed. I am grateful to have found her when I did.

His in-depth knowledge of family law and criminal defense is evident, and he approached each case with meticulous attention to detail. I always felt supported and informed, as Attorney Saraceni made complex legal concepts easy to understand and provided clear, actionable advice. What truly sets Jim apart is his unwavering commitment to his clients. He continues to always be available to answer questions and provide guidance, even during the most stressful moments.

Beverly allegedly helped my family with documents. Upon reaching out to her (one time mind you) she told me to stop harassing or calling her office only trying to contact her to get a copy of a pre nuptial agreement. This was 2 weeks after another attorney John Hall stated he would send the information by mail. She basically said without cause or reason she cannot help me or my father and was so rude and unprofessional even by hanging up in my face. She didn’t even reason with why or how it got “lost” or why she can’t help us. If you want an attorney that will treat you respectfully or find your documents go somewhere far away from her.

John Hall is simply the best lawyer I have ever worked with in Fairfield County. He’s smart, experienced, knows the Real Estate market inside and out. If you have any type of a legal question, he’s there to respond to his clients in a timely and through manner. He does his research before calling you back and gets right to the point. He’s personable, likable, funny and charming yet he’s also very serious and pragmatic and works hard for his clients. He’s never lost a case to the best of my knowledge. He takes only cases where he feels his clients have a strong compelling claim and will tell you if he doesn’t feel a lawsuit is necessary or worthwhile. He won’t just take your money in other words like all the greedy lawyers I’ve come in contact with in Fairfield Cty. In a nutshell, John has integrity and he’s going to be honest and straight forward with his clients - no matter what because he’s a trustworthy straight shooter who stands above and goes beyond all the rest. If you hire Attorney John Hall, you won’t go wrong. I had a tough case and he’s been my saving grace!!

He is awful! My husband paid him $1k for a landlord tenant case. The point of hiring a lawyer was to get things done fast and properly. Deadline was coming up and he was impossible to reach not even a secretary or para legal. Finally called back on the day of the deadline and said paperwork was allset. Come to find out paperwork was never filed! Once again could not get ahold of him still have no heard from him. All he did was waste our time and money which was exactly what we’re trying to avoid with the situation we were already in with a non paying tenant. This man should be disbarred.

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:

    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:

    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.

    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.

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.
