Highly Recommended—Estate Resolution

Attorney Fay is without question the most professional and ethical attorney I’ve ever encountered. She helped bring to a successful conclusion and resolve what could have otherwise proven to be a stressful and contentious estate settlement. Highly recommended for her expertise and willingness to go t...he extra distance to represent my best interests. Thank you, Candace!

Made me change my opinion of lawyers as a profession

Attorney Fay has been helping me navigate the family court system for over 6 years now. I have stayed with Attorney Fay for this long because she is honest, ethical and direct. My custody dispute has been very challenging but Attorney Fay has never missed a court hearing/appearance/status conference,... etc and there have been many in 6 years. Her command of the details of my case is truly impressive. She is also honest about what she is capable of helping with and what to expect at court. I have never felt mislead or disappointed by her guidance. And I appreciate how fair she is with her billing; it has allowed me to continue to fight for my child's best interest without going bankrupt in the process. I cannot say enough about what a true professional Attorney Fay is. If you are in need of an attorney who will be committed to your case not matter how difficult or challenging the other party is, I highly recommend Attorney Fay.

Top notch conservator!!!

I have known Candace only a few years since a lady moved into my rest home she was conserving. Since then, I have asked her to conserve for 4 other clients. She is professional and truly cares for the people she stands up for. I notice the only negative reviews were posted by anonymous. I don't put m...uch faith in anyone who won't put their name out there! Meet Candace for yourself and you won't be disappointed. I've never been!

Driveway Contractor

I don't seem to find enough words to thank Attorney Fay for representing me in a case against a contractor who did a very low quality job when replacing my driveway. Her high degree of professional ethics and expertise in these matters were crucial in bringing my case to a successful ending. I woul...d certainly ask her again to be my legal council if needed in the future. Thanks for your time and effort Ms Fay.

Welcome addition to the Danbury bar
