AMAZING!! Can't emphasize this enough!

Attorney Anthony is everything his client rating says he is and more! He is smart, intuitive, supportive, and masterful at his craft! He anticipates his opponent’s moves and strategizes accordingly. I knew going into this that my divorce was going to be a difficult and high-conflict one! And I am... not a big fan of attorneys, as a whole. But Attorney Anthony was always patient, respectful, reassuring, courteous and in control of the situation in all of my dealings with him. He is the brains and brawn of the practice. And his paralegal, Terri, is the the heart and soul. He strategizes, implements and executes. But Terri keeps everything organized and moving forward, while keeping the situation calm and in perspective when things get intense. They make an AMAZING team! I could not express my faith and support in Attorney Anthony and his team enough! Attorney Anthony and Terri, thank you, thank you, and THANK YOU AGAIN for helping me get through my divorce and for an outcome that was beyond my expectations!

The best for divorce

There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to Attorney Fred Anthony and his paralegal Terri for all their hard work and support during my very difficult and drawn out divorce battle. From our initial meeting to our final day in court, I never felt alone. Their caring, for me as a person as... well as a client, was always evident and I knew they always had my best interests at heart. Fred instilled in me the trust that helped me have the courage to move forward and not give up, even when I was scared and things seemed impossible. Fred is passionate in what he does, he is kind but firm and tough when he needs to be. His legal expertise and attention to detail was quite impressive. I was in awe of his performance in court and thrilled when judgment was in my favor. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him and I can not thank him enough. Attorney Anthony is the best and he has my highest recommendation.

Divorce

Fred provided excellent service with my Divorce. He saved me money on alimony. He answered all my questions on a timely basis and resolved my issues. His meetings were speedy, and his staff was good to work with. All in all, satisfied.

I absolutely recommend Attorney Fred Anthony

I would definitely recommend Attorney Fred Anthony. I utilized his services for my divorce and was very happy with his professionalism, his tactfulness and his desire to keep me informed. He was very open and honest with what he expected the outcome to be. His office staff was also very responsive ...and helpful.

Look no further

Working with Attorney Anthony gave me the peace of mind I needed. I twice now have hired him to navigate the dirty waters of a divorce case. In both of the cases there was a win on our side. I have consulted with other Attorneys in the area with subpar results. I can’t truly stress it enough that i...f you want quality representation by one of the most experienced Attorneys in Fairfield county, look no further!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
