Honest Review

Attorney Fiedler was hired due to a divorce case. I found him when I googled divorce lawyers, and feel lucky to have found him out of hundreds of other lawyers. He was committed to helping me from the beginning, and due to short timing for my next court date~ he worked me into his already busy sche...dule. When talking to him~ you are never rushed, and he is completely honest. Atty. Fiedler did not sugar coat, he did not hide anything, and he is to the point. If you want a "not your typical" lawyer, but someone who is in a class all by themselves~ I strongly recommend this lawyer. When you call ~ you will get him directly. If he can not talk to you that minute~ I assure you that your call will be returned promptly as well as e mails. I have had lawyers before, and I will say that Attorney Fiedler has stood out for his expertise and honesty that surpass all others.

Professional and ethical, Robert Fiedler provides personalized service that helps you through your legal issues with confidence.

I hired Robert Fiedler to handle my defense for my divorce. I was initially self represented due to financial problems and my spouse had an attorney so I was extremely relieved when I was finally able to get help. Robert took my case on just before it was scheduled to go to court. From the start Robe...rt was very clear about cost, what he needed from me, and what would take place. His ability to explain legal information to myself in a manor that I could understand has been extremely helpful without making me feel unintelligent for not knowing. I have also been surprised at how well he has remembered all the details of my case regardless of other cases he is dealing with. Many times I have contacted him with questions and he always takes the time to make sure I have a good understanding of his response before we are done. In a meeting with the opposition Robert truly took the stage with confidence and tactfulness to lay out an appropriate parenting plan. He also worked on the proposed financial and real estate situation to be fair. If I had remained pro-se I would have been walked all over and Robert is skilled at turning things around to help me. In addition to the divorce I had unfortunately got myself in some trouble that was totally unrelated that of which the outcome could have been quite bad. I had received a DUI and that is my own fault but some additional charges were not proper as far as I was concerned. I asked Robert to represent me and he agreed. He worked quickly building my case and all the questionable charges were worked out and I ended up with the best possible situation I could. Had I not had the help Robert provided it would have had a profound impact on my life.

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful

A short time after I posted a question about a conflict with my landlord on avvo.com, Robert Fiedler responded with a very detailed and helpful response. He even went so far as to visit with me on the phone about my legal issue at no charge, and his advice was specific, informed, and incredibly usef...ul. He is well-versed in specific details of the law in Connecticut. He makes this information -- even when the law itself is quite complex -- understandable and relevant for the legal matter at hand. I found him to be pleasant, professional, and astute. If you have a legal problem or question, I'd absolutely recommend discussing it with this lawyer. I'll certainly consult with him again.

Knowledgable and Professional

Robert is the lawyer you want representing you. He is very thorough and makes sure you understand what is happening every step of the way. He always makes himself available and keeps lines of communication open. I must also add that he always responded in a timely manner. He is extremely trustworth...y and knowledgable and performs like a true professional. I highly recommend Robert because I couldn't have asked for better representation.
