I am an attorney with a practice in the Greater Danbury Connecticut area, including Bethel, Ridgefield, Redding, Newtown, Danbury, Brookfield, Wilton, Southbury, Middlebury and Waterbury. As I appreciate the time constraints of my clients, I make myself available to make "house calls" to residences or places of business.
I have been practicing law for thirty years and the bottom line is I really enjoy working with and advocating for my clients. Not surprisingly the firm is heavily customer service oriented. We communicate early and often, advise what to anticipate and time sequence to avoid unwelcome surprises, and provide individualized attention since no one transaction (or client) is exactly like another.

While nobody wants to think about death or disability, establishing an estate plan consistent with your goals and wishes is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. Estate planning not only puts you in charge, it can also spare your loved ones of the expense, delay and frustration associated with managing your affairs when you pass away or become disabled.
When a loved one passes away, his or her estate often goes through a court-managed process called probate or estate administration where the assets of the deceased are managed and distributed. The length of time needed to complete the probate of an estate depends on the size and complexity of the estate and the local rules and schedule of the probate court.
