Estate and Probate

Attorney Chen gave us really great advice on how to move forward with a very greedy, thoughtless sibling. If we didn't reach out when we did, the sister would have thrown us out of the home and left all of us homeless! I will recommend him and may use him for future help if needed. He is very comp...assionate about our situation!

Thank you and your wife for your recommendation regarding the mostly practical advice that I provided. Yes, I truly have empathy for your situation. As caregivers, you both gave of yourselves unselfishly and generously to your elders and made them comfortable and feel cherished during the twilight of their lives. You both are to be commended. Thank you for your questions posed to our Avvo lawyer community.

Great Lawyer

I retained Carlton to help me incorporate my company. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He guided me through every step of the process. It was easy to get an appointment with him and he was super responsive to my questions along the way. He also shared his resources with me that I... had not heard before. I would highly recommend Carlton to anyone thinking about starting a business.

Employment Law Expertise

Attorney Chen represented me in a complex, litigious employment matter, helped lay out my options, and brought about a successful outcome. His prior experience as general counsel at a large employer with responsibility in HR and labor relations matters gave me confidence that he was the right lawyer ...to retain.

Good advice for CT tenant situation

Attorney Chen went beyond just answering the question I had asked; he provided crucial and broader background concerning the COVID public health emergency and current CT regulations. He helped us understand that tenants have certain rights at this time. This allowed us to seek a better outcome, an...d we expect to achieve that. Other positives: he gave real-world examples and promptly got back to me.

Thank you for your excellent review. If I were a landlord, I'd wish I had a tenant as conscientious as you and your spouse. Unfortunately, your landlord was taking advantage of your good nature. Now that you know your rights, I hope it works out.

Very helpful and detailed

Carlton gave a very detailed answer to the question that I posted on Avvo and spent a lot of time patiently going through details for the question I asked. Thank you Carlton.

Thank you for your excellent recommendation, Nikitha. I enjoyed providing you with information about the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and application of the Preemption Doctrine to answer your question.
