Very happy with the hard work that was done for me! I had the privilege of working with Jason on my matters, and he was an absolute champion. I was kept in constant communication, all matters were handled on time, and he was thoughtful of my situation! Without a doubt, I would recommend this firm to anyone. If you are looking for professional service, and knowledgeable people with attention to detail, look no further.

To say that these lawyers are the best is an understatement! I have experienced nothing but fight and dedication from Jason since day one! He is very smart and went above and beyond to ensure that i got exactly what I deserved! It was a very long process and a lot of gas waisted but he kept my hopes up and assured me everything will be ok. I met John toward the end and it definitely makes sense that these 2 work together. If you are looking for lawyers who will ride and fight for you, The Kaloidis Law Firm is where you need to go! God Bless you guys and thank you so much for giving me back my peace!

I cannot say enough how wonderful Attorney Miller handle my very difficult divorce. Having no experience in legal matters, I found Dan patient in explaining everything to me as well as having a very calming, confident demeanor which I found was very reassuring. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and detail oriented and nothing got by him no matter what the opposing attorney put in front of him. Dan cares about his clients and their children and wants the best for them. He and his fabulous assistant Sara filed every motion, responded to every email and phone call in a timely professional manner. I was kept informed of strategy, procedures and next steps. He made sure I understood and answered all of my questions. In court, Dan presented my case brilliantly and he was completely and totally prepared. If you are divorcing you either know or will soon know that the courts do not work in a timely fashion. To the frustration of the attorneys and their clients we are kept waiting for each court date. After many court dates, court delays and court procedures, I could not be happier with the results. I felt we were a team working together the whole time. Gratefully, I trusted him completely. There is no one I would have rather had on my side than Attorney Dan Miller.

Professional, caring,, informative describes the experience my son and I had with Attorney TIndell and his entire office staff! Attorney got to the law suit quickly ,effectively and efficiently! From day one his office staff was instructed to obtain all the information quickly. Attorney TINDELL was effective in obtaining the maximum dollar amount for us! All the team worked efficiently together to obtain the results we were hoping for ! One shout out is to Omyra ,a TINDELL office staff personnel, for her absolute ability to obtain information quickly .Also the amazing ability to listen patiently as if I was the only client they had ! There is no doubt that if we ever needed to have Attorney service again ,pertaining to a vehicle accident , we would call Attorney TINDELL!

Attorney Feraizi is an exceptional attorney in several ways. He is extremely articulate, charismatic and likable, and most importantly he not only understands the law and the application of it better than other attorneys, but he has a creative and highly insightful skillset that is far beyond most attorneys. Mr. Feraizi should be an attorney expert on television or working for a large firm at $500.00/hour but he is too busy helping others and contributing to community by helping individuals who would normally have often weak representation. He is rare in how he puts helping others ahead of his own ego and benefits often. It is also likli that a large firm would fear hiring Mr. Feraizi because he would be a threat to the upper management and moving to the top and in addition to this he would do what was right for clients and put office politics a very distant second. All attorneys and businesses have a few upset customers and in that I would like to put the few negative reviews that this fine attorney has had. Attorney Feraizi has inevitably dealt with more than a few difficul clients that don't understand the law or the practical considerations that must be done in order to get to a successful result. Often customers or clients of his didn't want to accept the incredible difficulty of their case, and we all know people who will not hear the facts and will only believe their own rose-colored views of their situation or predicament that they are in. In my case attorney Feraizi got a good result and fought for me but I did feel that he should have put on the court record the unusual circumstances of my case wherein I called someone a f....ng retard for saying outrageous things about US soldiers and a store or Target that I have a 1.2 Billion form 211 IRS complaint against that looked at years of purchases by me and determined that one of my self scan purchases was done incorrectly wherein I double scanned a less expensive item and not the more expensive one and stole under 100 from the store. An outrageous action by store that looked at years of purchases and had alterior motives, and I wanted on court record for future civil suit. However Attorney Feraizi did the right thing and only focused on his required job and getting me the best results in case, which he did and is not responsible for these extraneous matters unrelated and hence I give him a 5/5 or 100% but thought of only giving him a 4 earlier, but changed mind. I would also like to address the clients who claimed that attorney Feraizi has a temper and is short tempered. This is nonsense as because his mind burns on a higher octane, and he is in phenomenal physical shape he has mental and physical energy that few has and is assertive and uncompromising in stating the facts as they are. He does what is right and isn't concerned about acceding trends such as claiming a man who is assertive is mansplaining or expecting people to conform to ridiculous trends. In fact I was a victim of this absurdity in having the first amendment pi....ed on and getting charged for making a statement or an opinion about someone who made a disparaging comment. Attorney Feraizi is not short tempered andis in fact much cooler, collected, and focused that other attorneys who will make decisions based upon like or dislike of a client or how they feel during a specific time. Attorney Feraizi has unrivaled, focused, and assertive discipline that doesn't change or waver and is single focused on what is best for his clients. Highly recommend!!

Artila came highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. She really took her time to understand every detail of my case and wasted absolutely no time getting started. She is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and answers all questions as fast and effective as possible. Due to my court date being in less than 2 weeks from the time she was hired, she could not attend court as she was at a different client’s hearing. She made sure her partner Dan was very well prepared and versed with all of the facts of my case for my court date. I could not be happier with the service I received!

I went to attorney Lubonja after my first attorney did not do anything for me and my children . Attorney Lubonja ended my nightmare with in 4 months. I got custody, and a reasonable asset division . Attorney Lubonja kept me in the loop at all time. Called me when she was sick, emailed me at 4 am , showed up for court not feeling well to represent me. She explained what options I have, and what to expect . Explained the pros and cons and the cost. She was the most transparent attorney I ever worked with. I can't thank her enough for her professional, honesty, and commitment. When I went to her my case was 9 months old and a mess due to my prior counsel and the GAL. If you are like me, have no clue about law, need help and looking for someone knowledgeable to have your back please contact attorney Lubonja.

Tim Moynahan, his firm, and all his people are some of the finest people working in the Waterbury judicial system. I hired Tim for my case involving multiple DUIs, and from the moment I set foot in his office I was treated with such kindness, compassion and dignity by Tim and his team that I immediately felt better and knew that everything would be okay. In fact, not only did Tim's team work so tirelessly for my case that I avoided jail time, but I believe that by merely bearing witness to Tim's hard work and innate character I actually grew as a person as well, feeling true remorse for my actions and working hard along my journey to change parts of myself and my life so that I'd never be in such a situation ever again. Tim Moynahan and his team are not only the hardest working people you'll ever meet, they are all wonderful people as well who genuinely care and look out for their clients' well-being.

Recently, the economic downturn required I face the prospect of having to close my business and force a new economic reality upon my family. We knew much would change but there was one thing my wife and I hoped and prayed for: to keep our home. Involved with a franchise, the Small Business Administration and a national, deep pocketed landlord, we faced an uphill battle and few encouraging words that we would be successful. I interviewed five bankruptcy attorneys in total. None provided the feeling of confidence and the sense that our goal was attainable until we met Gene Melchionne. While our bankruptcy was very complicated and at times stressful, Gene was always there to keep us calm and on task. His demeanor is exceptional and his willingness to go the extra mile, dig deep to find creative solutions and continuously look out for our best interests was always very clear. We didn’t hire an attorney when we found Gene, we found a friend who cared about us and cared about doing the best job possible. We can’t thank Gene enough for all that he has done. He is an exceptional bankruptcy attorney and one that we would highly recommend to all. Gene, my family thanks you for all your great work. And, yes, we kept our home. B. Hartford, CT area

Waterbury divorce Attorney Michael Conway brings a whole different level of caring and intimacy that few, if any attorneys offer. I was in an extremely vulnerable state-of-mind, body & financial position when I first entered Attorney Conway’s office. Very quickly I was impressed by his competent, calm, compassionate demeanor. A great listener, it took only a few moments for me to decide to hire him—at which time I asked him to ‘protect my blindside.’ ... And that’s exactly what he did ... Throughout the entire process of my divorce litigation, Attorney Conway was on top of my case. He consistently offered me options, accompanied by the pros & cons of every move. Attorney Conway eliminated all preconceived notions, thus allowing me to make decisions free of emotion. I received phenomenal advice and representation that has helped my family SUCCESSFULLY move on with our lives.

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.
