Handled a Tough Divorce - Great Advice!
My wife had decided that she no longer wanted to be a wife or mother, but her attorney was using custody of the child as a bargaining chip.

Wonderful lawyer and person
Mr. Chamberlain is a wonderful attorney and person. He represented me in a child relocation post divorce case.

Family Law Excellence
I first hired Bruce in 2007 to help me navigate divorce proceedings.

Not easily flapped

A so called "Lawyer"
Bruce Chamberlain is the most incompetent individual that I have ever came across let alone a "lawyer". He does not truly represent his client, all he does is taking directions from the other side. He acted more like a paper pusher than a lawyer. He shows up to court half asleep not paying attention ...
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Bruce for years. He is very respectful and understands the nuances of family (custody and divorce) laws in Connecticut. I have had many cases with Bruce, and he has been a pleasure to work with."
"I have had many cases involving Attorney Chamberlain over the last decade. Given Attorney Chamberlain’s many years’ experience, he negotiates a fair result for his clients, and is willing to use his experience in litigation if necessary. He is both practical and compassionate."
"I have referred many complicated Family related matters to Attorney Chamberlain because he has the trial experience to skillfully advocate before a Judge while simultaneously handling his clients with compassion and practicality."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Chamberlain is not only competent and conscientious, but he is compassionate. I have had several cases opposing Attorney Chamberlain and he is a skilled negotiator but also a capable litigator."
"I endorse this lawyer.I have known Bruce Chamberlain for 30 years and I have found him to be a very conscientious and hard working attorney for his clients. He is a senior family lawyer in all matters of divorce and child custody. He has a wealth of experience which he brings to any separation, divorce or child custody case. I would recommend him to you."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked on many cases over the years in which attorney Chamberlain represented the opposing party. He is well familiar with family law, is an attorney of great integrity who works aggressively and efficiently on behalf of clients"
"Bruce Chamberlain is an excellent, experienced family law practitioner and a good person. I would recommend Bruce in a heartbeat!"
