Zealous & Proactive Representation

I highly recommend to litigants that they give due diligence to the process of selecting representation. It is a critical decision upon which the details of the final settlement hinge: Who will best represent my concerns? Prior to meeting with Atty. Gans, I had met with two Fairfield County at...torneys who were highly recommended to me by their former clients. After meeting with Atty. Gans, however, my choice was clear. I had found Atty. Gans online and then attended a free initial consultation within 24 hours of my inquiry. In hindsight, my first point of contact with Atty. Gans and her office was indicative of the manner in which I was treated throughout my divorce. Atty. Gans' exceptional ethical professionalism, client-centered approach to negotiation, and unwavering commitment to my overall health and and well being made her an outstanding attorney. My "best interest" always served as the filter through which all decisions were made. After our initial consultation, Atty. Gans immediately began to zealously advocate on my behalf with opposing counsel. This provided me with assurance that I was not just another file on an attorney’s desk. Instead, my family mattered to her very much. Simultaneously, Atty. Gans took the time to establish a trusting relationship with me early on. I was then able to focus on rebuilding my life emotionally, socially, and professionally. As part of her professional acumen, Atty. Gans’ was empathic to some life struggles I acquired as a function of divorce upheaval. Whenever I reached out to Atty. Gans, she herself graciously and respectfully responded to me within the hour or sooner, including evenings and weekends. Having my questions answered & concerns addressed thoroughly and in a timely manner significantly reduced my apprehensions. Further, as court professionals entered and exited my case, it was evident Atty. Gans had banked an impressive level of professional equity, inclusive of trust and respect from her peers in court/legal community. Atty. Gans worked closely with opposing counsel to expedite the process, considering all variables from different angles such that a fair resolution could be obtained. To that end, I strongly suggest potential clients seek Atty. Gans for an initial consultation before retaining another attorney. I believe you will walk away from the initial meeting feeling confident that Atty. Gans is an empathic, respectful, experienced professional who truly listens to your concerns and then successfully strives to partner with you throughout the entire process in order to achieve a fair, equitable resolution.
