Lisa A Faccadio

I hired Lisa Faccadio after a couple years of a high profile attorney group failing me because they were too intimidated by my ex’s attorney & they didn’t want to argue in front of a judge. Lisa was fearless, dedicated, and operated by the book. She may come across as abrupt, but her no nonsense ap...proach was exactly what I needed. I could not have asked for a better lawyer. Worth every penny!

Attorney Faccadio is great. She is honest and up front and delivers great results. Having read some of the other reviews, I want to address some of those points. She is no more expensive than any other decent lawyer in Middletown. We needed a GAL in our case and that attorney charged the same amo...unt per hour as Attorney Faccadio. The fact that she doesn’t use email? Super annoying at times. But it also means that when she’s with you and working on your case, she isn’t getting interrupted by 15 other clients. There’s something to be said for that. we would send faxes or leave messages for her to call us back, we made it work. Sometimes she will be rude and cut you off, but hey - maybe you deserve it. I know I probably did. You’re emotional and crazy. She wants to strip that all away, get the facts, and WIN. We got everything we were hoping for and more. It was worth every penny we spent.

Lisa was recommended to us after speaking with a friend of ours who is an attorney that doesn't practice family law. Given our faith in him, we decided to hire her for our case. Lisa and her staff were wonderful! They are all knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to answer any question no matter ho...w small. Was it expensive? Of course but what legal proceeding isn't unless you are representing yourself? When it comes to my kids though, there is no price too high for peace of mind and that is exactly what we were able to achieve from the first meeting until our case was complete.

Attorney Faccadio came highly recommended by a trusted neighbor and friend during the painful process of filing for divorce. From the first visit of being scared to death to even start this unknown legal journey to it's conclusion a year later, Attorney Faccadio was exactly the person I needed to be ...by my side and on my side every step of the way. Her professionalism and experience were coupled with her genuine interest and care as she guided me letting me borrow her strength when I had none of my own. Never once did I ever doubt that everything she was doing was to make sure that the truth was known and justice was served to the full extent of her incredible capabilities. She helped me to see that she was an integral part of the process of acceptance and healing that has many facets outside of the legal realm. She would often ask how I was doing aside from the necessary information that needed to be exchanged during a meeting or a phone call. She kept me perfectly updated in all areas throughout the process with her commitment to communication in both large and small details. I can truly say that what started out to be a decision to hire the best divorce attorney in the greater Hartford area has turned into a most unexpected friendship of mutual admiration and respect. Attorney Faccadio will give you everything she has in her defense of you and sincerely cares that you are compensated to the fullest extent of the law and her abilities. Can you afford to hire Attorney Faccadio to represent you in your divorce proceedings? I sincerely believe that you can't afford not to! I will be ever grateful to her and for her.

Hindsight is 20/20. Looking back on my divorce, which was 10 years ago AND which Attorney Faccadio represented me during, I now understand that, as ironic as it sounds, the legal process of divorce is not about emotions. It is about separating yourself from your emotions and securing your future and ...your children's future. You're getting divorced. Stop trying to "play nice" and make one another happy. If you could do that you wouldn't be going through this process in the first place. Attorney Faccadio takes the emotion out of the divorce process and handles things like custody, visitation, child support, health insurance, the marital home, bank accounts, all those ugly things you never pictured on your wedding day. I'll never forget when I asked her how long until the process was over and she looked right at me and said, "You're not ready." Ready for what? "To slaughter him." She reminded me this was not about my broken heart- that was for me to talk to my therapist about- but about my financial future. Is she warm and fuzzy and will she coddle you through this? The woman is a divorce lawyer, not a BFF. Is she expensive? Hell yes. Is she worth it? Every single cent. Will you walk away with what you need to move forward. Yup- and then some.
