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.

Please be aware of your rights

It is MY OPINION that this lawyer was not interested in listening to me, hearing my side or the story or, for that matter, even defending me in a DCF child neglect case that she was "court appointed" to me for. I've been on very many forums & within groups regarding family court corruption. Often tim...es, in the middle of an emotional exchange between parents, she jots her name & number in a post to tell people she can help them. Hindsight being what it is, she did NOTHING to protect the civil, constitutional or even just plain human rights of me & my children.

Connecticut General Statutes 46b-124 provides that all records of juvenile court proceedings are confidential, therefore, it is difficult to respond to this post. I will also note that all juveniles in DCF cases are appointed their own counsel to represent them. If you are faced with a DCF investigation or petitions are filed against you, please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your case. JMC
