Connecticut Divorce Lawyers

We know divorce is hard. We know it feels like your life is falling apart - like you will never feel normal or whole again. You have more questions than answers and every which way you turn, someone is giving you (mostly unsolicited) advice about what you should be doing. It doesn't have to be this way. You have the opportunity to create a beautiful life after divorce....so long as you believe you deserve it. And so long as you surround yourself with the right support during your divorce. That’s where we come in.

The Happy Even After Difference

Your goals, needs, emotions, concerns, and fears all contribute to what kind of legal experience you have. What happens during your divorce is important, but what happens after your divorce is equally as important.

With your input, we create a legal strategy that aligns with your priorities. We also work on your mindset because what you think is what you create in your life. Your divorce mindset is as important as your legal strategy. This is what sets us apart.

Our entire team is dedicated to supporting you through this journey and we are committed to ensuring that you feel empowered to make important decisions by providing legal advocacy and mindset coaching.

Our attorneys have won numerous awards, appeared on TV and radio, taught seminars, and have written books and published articles. But our greatest source of pride is watching our clients go from barely surviving this moment in their life to thriving in their next chapter.

That is the HAPPY EVEN AFTER difference.

“Divorce just means that your marriage is complete. It doesn’t mean your life is over. It doesn’t mean you are a failure. It means you are ready for a new season of your life. It means you have an opportunity to create a life you love - one in which you are happier than you ever thought possible.”
