I cannot speak highly enough about Brooke and her team…from the day we called them to the end of our case they have been diligent, supportive and fierce! Danielle, Rebecca and Pam fought relentlessly for us and we couldn’t be more grateful for all of their hard work. They listened and always got back to us right away. Every step of the process was explained and they handled all of it professionally. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to be on your side if you need a law firm.

The gentleman that helped us was very friendly, professional and, most importantly, was okay with my dogs being in the room, which was a plus. I know going into stranger’s homes is a weird gig, but he was great and I would recommend Mr. Cahill to anyone needing this type of work done. Thanks

Mr. Segall was an indispensable asset in mediating our divorce. He was transparent, even handed, helpful in his suggestions, and guided us through a difficult process with clear explanations. He provided succinct written summaries after each meeting, and kept the mediation moving forward. As an attorney, he was also able to draft the separation agreement, which was a big help in expediting the process. I was very pleased with his professionalism and flexibility in scheduling meetings. I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend him highly.

Dan was the closing attorney for our first home and we had to do all of our transactions in FL before we moved to CT. He was great to work with and really made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process! He answered all of our questions, even the non-house related ones, and he was just overall an awesome person to seek advice from. Highly recommend Dan! He'll be my go-to for anything law-related from now on!

Eric helped me re-negotiate my alimony/child support agreement and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was determined to get the best results, patient and meticulous, and a pleasure to work with. He left no stone unturned, and had a keen eye for small issues that might lead to big problems if left unaddressed. He really went to bat for me, and I am very grateful to him.

Upon contacting Eric for an initial consult, he made me aware that his initial fee was to donate to a children’s charity close to his heart. This spoke volumes to me. I could tell from the start of this initial conversation that he was compassionate, and upon conclusion of the consult, I knew that he was not only compassionate but extremely knowledgeable, professional and the type of attorney I wanted to represent me. He continued to impress me throughout my divorce proceedings. After the consult, I hired Eric as my divorce attorney, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Eric was professional, organized, meticulous, compassionate, and supportive during a turbulent time in my life. He not only gave me guidance and his expertise throughout the divorce proceedings, but he also was very emotionally supportive when necessary. He gave me a clear understanding of the process and what options existed in my particular case. Eric along with his associate and staff were very responsive and considerate throughout my divorce. They were truly amazing, and I would highly recommend the Law Office of Eric R. Posmantier for anyone seeking a professional, caring, compassionate attorney who knows when to stand up for his client and is able to negotiate a fair and favorable outcome. You will not be disappointed in this decision.

With lots of successful cases, Adrian is always a good listener and helps make you feel comfortable and cared for.
His work is always catered to the person he is serving and I thank him for all he does for all of us.
His work with the City of New Britain's "Little Poland" and the State of Ct was the reason I reached out to this exceptional attorney.

Attorney Marlow was always readily available and on top of what is going on in the case. He thoroughly answered any questions I had and put it in terms I can easily understand. Throughout the process, he was very fair and always had my back. His experience in divorce procedures was phenomenal and he was extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone who is unfortunately going through the divorce process, especially if their are children involved.

There are so many lawyers out there and letting your fingers do the walking through the yellow pages doesn't always guarantee you the best. Thank goodness our regular attorney took a trip so Brian filled in. Our whole case changed. Brian was knowledgeable and quick. He guided us through the court maze and from the start was well informed and understood our case. His quick success helped us to get on with our lives. Boy were we lucky.....

I met Atty. Ladouceur at a networking event around 2007-2008. Within a week of that meeting, my company had need of a good contract attorney to draft a standard service contract that could cover a custom product and its installation. He was prompt, courteous, and very capable, producing the contract in less time than expected. In 2010, I joined a family to start a brand new business enterprise (really a multriprise, as it consists of several interconnected businesses). The family is the outright owner of the property and holds full possession of the business. I retained Atty. Ladouceur to produce a very streamlined employment contract to ensure I got full sweat equity for building the business, as I am performing 80% or more of all necessary actions (operations, vendor management, facilities maintenance, data management, etc.). Because I am am close friends with the family, having known them many years, they were very reluctant to sign anything (their rationale was that they think of me as their child, so why should they have to have a legal document?) and so we had to work the document down to a manageable length and simplified language. It took more than a year of three-way wrangling, with Atty. Ladouceur pushing to get me as covered as possible. In the end, they signed off, and I am now well-covered. If in future I need a lawyer, I will happily return to him.

I used Brian's services to help me with the writing of a will and professional advice on estate planning issues. Brian was very thorough, and was particulary patient in his explanations of estate law to me, a person with no legal background or klnowledge. I would enthusiastically recommend Brian to friends, family, or colleagues.

In scrutinizing the recruitment process conducted by Ment Law Group in engaging Francesco “Frank” Picone, it appears to have been executed with a haste mirroring Mr. Picone's characteristic lack of attention to detail.
This critique is kept superficial, as a more comprehensive examination of Mr. Picone's performance is anticipated to unfold in due course.
Mr. Picone's assertions regarding his proficiency in "interviewing/fact collecting" are lamentable, particularly if accurate. Such claims cast doubt upon the efficacy of his purported certifications, suggesting either a deficiency in their vetting procedures or an opportunistic pursuit of profit. In the course of handling my case, Mr. Picone repeatedly allowed pertinent evidence to lapse or be mishandled, a consequence directly attributable to his apparent disregard for thorough fact-finding.
Furthermore, Mr. Picone's proclamation of possessing "integrity and excellence" is unsubstantiated. On numerous occasions, he has omitted truthful statements, neglected exculpatory evidence, and distorted facts, solely for self-serving motives. These actions starkly contradict any claims of integrity and excellence.
Those seeking individuals of integrity or genuine excellence should look elsewhere. Regrettably, Mr. Picone's ineptitude has resulted in tangible harm, yet he appears indifferent to the consequences, prioritizing self-preservation over accountability. Any inquiries by Ment Law Group regarding the specifics of these grievances are welcome, though skepticism surrounds the likelihood of any meaningful investigation being conducted.

Top Questions to Ask a Real Estate Lawyer
Before hiring a real estate lawyer, ask the following questions to ensure they are the right fit for your legal needs:

Ensure the lawyer has experience in the type of real estate transaction or dispute you’re facing, whether residential, commercial, or development-related. -
