About William
Biography
I am William P. Burns, Jr., a family law attorney serving clients throughout Connecticut, including people in Waterbury, New Haven County and Fairfield County.
My law offices were founded to help men and fathers who struggle with family law issues. These issues range from high net worth divorce and complex property division to parental relocation.
I offer one-on-one personal service and treat every client with dignity and respect. I work hard to protect your rights - your right to parent your child, your right to an equitable distribution of property, your right to keep the small business you created.
We are conveniently located in Naugatuck with easy access from Route 8.
