We defend dogs in Dog Bite, Disposal/Kill Order and Dangerous Dog proceedings; We litigate Pet Custody and Ownership Disputes to return animals to their owners; We draft Pet Trusts for when owners can no longer care for their pets; We take on select veterinary malpractice and harm-to-animal claims.

Much of our criminal practice involves animal-owning clients in various matters regarding their pets.

Creative and flexible Pet Trusts, in conjunction with other financial planning vehicles, provide an economical and responsible means for animal owners to provide continuing care for their pets when they are no longer capable of doing so.

Our practice is focused on the representation of companion animals and their owners in municipal and state agency proceedings, and in state and federal courts primarily in Connecticut and New York.

The best dog lawyer around

Thom is a very knowledgeable and passionate attorney. It is evident that he loves his job, and his dedication to helping both humans and their animals alike is why he’s the best at what he does. Thom was able to help me and my dog stay together during a custody battle through a well thought out plan,... and guided me through every step of the way. Thom was always able to answer any and all questions and provided reassurance, all while making sure he didn’t “sugar coat” the facts. His honesty made it so I always knew what the possibilities were and never felt like I was being mislead. I’m very grateful for his service and would 100% recommend Thom to anyone searching for an attorney in animal law.

Kind and knowledgeable for pet-custody case

Thom helped me with a custody dispute between me and a former partner over our dog. He was incredible and I will be forever grateful for his assistance. He understood how important my dog was to me and was very knowledgeable about the relevant law for our area. Without Thom, I don't think I would hav...e my beloved girl today, and that is an incredible gift. Thank you!

Best dog lawyer in Connecticut

A man with a lose dog that ran up to my dog and me was suing me. I contacted Attorney Page and became a client of his because this man who was suing me is psychiatrically unstable and an alcoholic and I was afraid of the man. Attorney Page went out of his way for me. The Sunday of July 4th weekend h...e came to my neighborhood and got sworn statements from neighbors about the dog being loose. He explained the law as it pertained to my case and spent 3 hours the evening before court explaining court. I am 64 and have never been to court before so I was very frightened both of court and the man suing me. Attorney Page met me at court the next day and represented me. For what he did for me on one weeks notice I will always be grateful. He was wonderful and patient with me. I will engage his services again if I ever need a lawyer.

Happy to recommend this attorney.

I found Mr. Page to be very thorough and systematic in representing me, as well as informing me along the way of what to expect. He helped me with a divorce, and child custody, and had a lot of patience in bringing my case before the court. I felt relaxed, well represented, and found Atty. Page to... be a trustworthy person.

Brought my pup home!

I hired Attorney Page when my ex boyfriend stole my dog away from me and I had to attend court to get her back. He was very thorough and paid attention to details throughout out my case. He kept me updated through the entire process and sent me copies of all documents along the way. I also appreciate...d that Attorney Page would have multiple back ups plans depending on how the defendant would respond to certain actions. Attorney Page is extremely passionate about the dogs and pets he saves and it shows. Overall, I was very satisfied with how my case turned out. Attorney Page brought my pup home where she belongs!
