Beyond excellence

He guided me through every step. Explained to me the laws to the point and what to expect. Very compassionate, professional with great fund of knowledge in his area of practice. He cares for his clients best interest and fights for their rights. Just Amazing.

Sets the benchmark!

If you are looking for an experienced attorney to represent you with immeasurable morals and values Attorney Caisse is your man! Attorney Caisse is a caring parent himself and truly cares about his clients and their families. He will definitely get in the trenches with you! I hired Attorney Caisse to... represent me in a nightmare of a custody hearing. Attorney Caisse has always been very clear, to the point and compassionate while dealing with this horrible situation. I couldn’t have dreamed of better counsel. Attorney Caisse is very articulate and fights for the greater of good. His high ethical standards and dedication has awarded him with a spectacular reputation that is proven in the courtroom. Attorney Caisse does his best to mediate for his clients, but if a mutual agreement cannot be made in the child’s best interest, Attorney Caisse is an extremely effective litigator that will amaze you! I wish I was referred to Attorney Caisse from the beginning of these life altering events because he is very honest and forthcoming! He will not lie to your face or try to sugar coat something like some others I have come to witness! I took the time to write this review not only because Attorney Caisse deserves it, but also to put your mind at ease knowing that if you retain Attorney Caisse, you will be represented by the best with no comparison! Good luck!

Hands down the best family lawyer

Unfortunately, I have been through my share of family lawyers - Both "Super Lawyers" and smaller firms. Had I been fortunate enough to have known of Attorney Ken Caisse's counsel from day one of my divorce, I would not have had to go through this "trial and error" of finding a lawyer who not only ha...d my families best interest in mind, but was also skilled at complicated high conflict divorce. This learning curve was very costly and my divorce proceedings would have resolved much sooner had I been referred to Attorney Caisse earlier, however, once Ken was on board, thankfully everything changed. Everything. Attorney Caisse got right to the matters at hand, bringing truth and clarity to what needed to be addressed. He was consistently focused, with a steadfast commitment to fair and equitable resolution and closure. Not only does Ken clearly communicates the laws to you and provides clear guidance, he keeps you in the loop with the entire process, he is very organized, professional, discerning, and methodical – and Ken always follows a judicious course of action. Ken works alone, which I found to be extremely refreshing, as you work directly with him and the lines of communication are always open. He manages his time (hence your time and money) very wisely. If he needs to bring in other professionals ( i.e.: accountants, appraisers, etc.) he has an arsenal of powerhouse professionals he works with and he will let you know when and if this is needed. Ken really cares and gives you his all. If you hire Attorney Caisse, know you are in excellent hands and trust his advise and direction. He is an honest man with tremendous integrity and professionalism, he does not want to waste your money, so he is very direct, to the point and efficient and will follow through - always doing the next right thing.

Integrity and Professionalism

Ken Caisse is an excellent lawyer. I have known Ken for 10 + years and he has been my lawyer since the divorce, always available, honest, respectful. You present him the facts and the supportive evidence and then, he works the plan. He consults with you and always informs you of the process. For a cl...ient this is more than important, because not only shows professionalism, but also empathy, encouragement, INTEGRITY! I can count always on his prompt responses and expertise. Thank you, Ken!

Attorney Ken Caisse is the best family lawyer I have ever worked with.

Sadly I've had the misfortune of a ten year battle in the Connecticut court system on divorce, parenting time, and fair child support. I've had multiple lawyers through this process and consider myself a veteran consumer of family law, unfortunately. Attorney Caisse is unlike any of the other lawy...ers I have worked with because he doesn't practice law to do whatever his client wants. He listens to your needs and strives to attain them, but only if they are reasonable, winnable, and fair. He is principled, ethical, and honest. He understands what the courts will likely do and uses that information to help think through tough issues. He is a brutally tough litigator (I would hate to have him question me on the witness stand) and equally strong negotiator. He is deeply familiar with relevant case law. Judges respect him because of his character, his history with them, and his legal acumen. I wish I didn't have to keep working with Ken, but as long as I have to keep fighting for parenting access and fair child support, he is the only attorney in Connecticut I will ever choose. Attorney Caisse is the best family lawyer I have ever worked with.
