My case was a personal injury case. A former friend recommended Alan Connell to represent me after I was hit by a car crossing the street. My insurance agent came to the hospital the day I was hit and gave me a figure based on my insurance alone. Mr. Connell said that she was only a sales person and that with the extent of my injuries he could get much more.
Mr. Connell did absolutely nothing to get even one $1 more. He and his assistant called me and texted me over and over again asking for me to get medical bills and such even after I signed a release so that the information could be sent directly to their office. In the end, the final figure was exactly what the insurance company offered the day of my injury. Mr. Connell took 30% off the top plus additional incidental fees and my former friend got a referral fee as well. The total deducted from my settlement amounted to nearly $100,000.
If I had settled with the insurance company without him, I would have received the total amount offered the day of my injury not the amount less nearly $100,000.

Alan has represented me in ongoing, post-divorce, child custody issues. His guidance was invaluable, billing schedule fair, and repressiveness second to none. His expert advice has insured the safety of my daughter. I always recommend Alan's services.

I was a nervous wreck when it came to the court date but Alan Connell had his ducks in a row and I was totally amazed and impressed with what an awesome job he did. I got everything I asked for thanks to his years experience and determination in standing up for what was right!

Through a very lengthly divorce, Alan was a very professional and competent attorney. While the process was difficult and painful, his wisdom and experience were of tremendous benefit to me. He was direct, concise, responsive and open with his thoughts and recommendations. I felt that his fees were fair and reasonable. He helped me through a very difficult process and time in my life. I would use Alan again. He has been an attorney for many years and I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of professional legal service.

Highly skilled and a great strategist. Alan shoots straight and doesn't promise things that can't be delivered just to get a retainer fee. His fees are reasonable and he's responsive. I've been dealing with a high conflict divorce for two years. Alan fights for his clients, is very knowledgeable about the law and is excellent in court.

Alan is truly a wonderful attorney. He doesn't spend money needlessly. In addition to that, he understands the ins and outs of the legal system where he practices. Tough and fair. Alan will give you the advice you need to minimize attorneys fees. Rare in most attorneys these days.

During the first meeting at court we met behind closed doors to sort out a temporary agreement. Allan did not fight for me at all, he agreed to high child support. I spoke up and negotiated it down myself. When I requested the use of one of the family vehicles he cut me off and didn't let me argue my point.
The next step was mediation. We met at the courthouse and Allan had not prepared me at all for negotiation.
In the following months I negotiated a settlement and sent it to Allan to prepare and send to the other attorney.
Allan charged me four hours to read the document .
In the end I did all the negotiating and I paid Allan close to twenty thousand dollars for him to take a few phone calls from the other attorney, read the agreement I prepared and process the property deeds at the courthouse, which he did wrong the first time and billed me again to fix.

If you want a good divorce/child custody lawyer who knows how to game the system....this is your man. If you are looking for a honest lawyer who does not pad his hours....this is NOT your man. We had a simple child custody change (shared custody to sole custody) that did not involve child support or divorce and was not contested by the ex. He charged excessive hours, costing us almost $3,500 to create and file some simple forms with the court.
I would not recommend this lawyer, unless you want to be over charged.
