Posted by Gail | February 01, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

Recommend with no reservations!

Attorney Celentano is amazing. DCF had placed my grandson in a foster-to-adopt home, providing false and unsubstantiated information to demonstrate that I was not an appropriate guardian for him. Three attorneys declined to take the case, saying that it was unwinnable. Attorney Celentano not only too...k the case but won it, resulting in my adoption of my grandson. Friends told me that I would need "a tiger" to win this. Attorney Celentano is a tiger, in the nicest calmest way. She was always available to me and was caring and emotionally involved. Her rates were reasonable. Her services were priceless.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Reprimand issued in CT, 2010

updated on 07/12/2012

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.
