I care about my clients. When a client thanks me at the end of their case, it makes me feel like I did a good job and that my client is happy. This is why I am an attorney.
I focus on family law and personal injury: divorce, child support, visitation and custody; car accidents and slip and falls. My office also does real estate closings and wills and probate work.
I am a retired U.S. Navy, Judge Advocate General Corps Commander (O-5). I have been practicing law since 1985, and have been here in Norwich, Connecticut since 2002.
We do not chage for initial office consultations. If you have a legal issue and feel you may need the assistance of an attorney, pleaes feel free to call me.
Thank you.

Car accident
Mr. Cartier did a great job as my attorney when I was rear-ended on the highway a couple of years ago. He handled everything from the insurance and medical bills to my deposition.
