Please include all relevant details from your case including where, when, and who it involves. Case details that can effectively describe the legal situation while also staying concise generally receive the best responses from lawyers.

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

I recently was retained on a huge case that had been litigated for 18 months. My client was being sued for fraud and breach of contract for 104,000,000.00. He had paid previous counsel more that 150,000.00 with no results. I was able to quickly come up with bad conduct on the part of the Plaintiffs. After 4 months the case was dismissed against my client in exchange for a small promissory note

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should seek lawyers who will be interested in their case, stay in touch with the clients, and be aggressive in the pursuit of such claims.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is an extremely important factor in the success or failure of a case. Knowing the courts and judges can be the most important aspect of a case.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

In the initial telephone conversation with a prospective client I like to convey an understanding of their issues as well as promote confidence in handling their case.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

Of course the name, telephone number and email address is important but also, when the client will be expected to pay for the legal services, the ability of the client to pay.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I have an aggressive attitude and take calls at all times of the day.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

I truly enjoy making a difference in my clients' lives.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

My interests are: Family, Travel, Golf and Sailings

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
