Highly Recommend

I am so grateful for Attorney Therrien and her whole firm. Her support and expertise during a very challenging family court matter made all the difference. She came highly recommended from other attorneys in the area who did not feel they had the right experience to handle such a complex case. I’m so... glad they pointed me towards Attorney Therrien. She is realistic, knowledgeable, tactful, and incredibly fierce. My family put our trust in her and were not disappointed.

Highly Recommend

Attorney Therrien and her team jumped into handling my case with only a few weeks notice to a hearing that was scheduled. They were all extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Attorney Therrien was incredible in the courtroom at the hearing. I didn’t have to say anything she knew exactly w...hat needed to be asked or brought up. She helped me remain calm in the face of extreme stress. I would recommend Attorney Therrien for any family court related legal issues. I can’t thank her and her team enough for all they did to help me successfully through a very difficult time.

100% recommend

I sought Attorney Therrien’s representation in modifying an existing custody agreement held with a very high conflict co-parent. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were given less than 24 hours notice before our court date. In that small amount of time Attorney Therrien reviewed and sorted through n...early a year’s worth of evidence to learn my case, had appropriate witnesses subpoena’d, and made sure the proposed modification was exactly what I wanted/reasonable. Communication with her and her paralegal was quick, easy and always responded to in a timely manner. During our hearing Attorney Therrien made me feel at ease, and provided counter arguments that made the other side literally stutter at times. She checked on me during our break and after to make sure I was holding up okay. In an extremely high stress situation she made me feel as at ease as possible while also being aggressive, clear and firm with our arguments. During the two days following our hearing as we waited to hear a decision I prepared myself for the worst (as is my nature in stressful situations - prepare for the worst but hope for the best!). Even with the mindset that the judge may not agree with what I was requesting, I still felt pleased with Attorney Therrien’s representation and am certain few others could have done such a thorough job, especially given such little notice. Nevertheless, the judge agreed with mine/Attorney Therrien’s requests and I feel like I can rest easier for the first time in over a year. Attorney Therrien does not beat around the bush. She is straightforward, blunt, honest, tough, and largely outspoken. I won’t lie, to an extreme introvert like myself she can be a bit intimidating! However she will represent and fight what you need with a rarely seen dedication and tenaciousness, and seems to truly care about her clients and their wellbeing.

Heartless

There are many amazing lawyers in CT. Please don’t choose this one, unless you want someone who doesn’t care about you or your children.

It is difficult to respond to an anonymous post from someone claiming that I represented them. There are times that I have to advise clients that there are limits in what the legal system can do for them. Sometimes people interpret this advice as not caring. In fact, I care a tremendous amount about all of my clients. Many of my clients have become long term friends. The fact remains, however, that there is only so much relief a legal system can provide despite my best efforts to assist my clients in navigating through that process.

Cannot say enough good things!

Kelly is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable attorney. She is very direct; you may not always like what she has to say, but she will look for a realistic and fair resolution that is best for your children and you. I have watched Kelly interact with the court personnel and other attorneys, and sh...e is clearly well-respected by all. I have referred several friends to her, and all have been happy with her work. Kelly does not needlessly run up a bill, and she is worth every cent. In addition, Kelly is very inclusive. She also will explain things to you so you understand the process and make an informed decision on what's best for your family. Navigating the family court is extremely overwhelming; I am grateful that Kelly was on my side! If there were an opportunity to leave ten stars, I would!
