Dissolution of marraige

My lawyer, Rachel Widmer, was an excellent legal representative during the process of my recent divorce! I would recommend her to anyone. She kept me informed throughout the process, skilled in negotiations, and responsive to my needs and communications​ at every step. As may occur in any divorce, un...expected circumstances may occur. Rachel Widmer was flexible and skilled. I am proud to review her as an excellent attorney!

Child Custody

Attorney Rachel Widmer offered excellent and honest advice throughout my custody litigation. During this difficult process, Attorney Widmer was extremely responsive to all my questions. She prepared me for each step of the custody process and ensured that all my concerns were addressed in my court o...rder. She is supportive and understanding, which made it easy for me to discuss difficult situations with her. I couldn’t ask for better representation for such a stressful process.

Divorce proceeding

Attorney Rachel Widmer represented me in a divorce proceeding. Throughout this difficult and involved process, I found Attorney Widmer to be professional, approachable and knowledgeable at every step along the way. She listened to my goals and concerns throughout the process and kept them in the fo...refront throughout the course of the proceedings. Attorney Widmer was always prompt, thorough, respectful and knowledgeable of the issues at hand. She gained a complete and practical knowledge of my personal situation, including the details necessary to represent me successfully. Attorney Widmer was also skilled at having candid and difficult conversations with me as needed. She is experienced with the Connecticut divorce process and utilized her network of contacts as necessary to help reach a successful outcome. I was very happy to have the efforts of Attorney Widmer during this very difficult and personal process and, as such, I would easily recommend her to any future clients.
