      Review Eric Posmantier

      Kind, caring, and smart

      Posted by

      Eric was a great ally to have in my corner through the toughest time in my life. He is highly knowledgeable, highly experienced, compassionate, and tough. His office staff is top notch as well. They return calls immediately and prepare documents in the same fashion. I couldn't have made a better choice of attorney. I do not hesitate to recommend him.

      Best in the Area - no need to look further

      Posted by

      If I had to do it all over again knowing what i learned after 2 years, I'd have hired Eric and had a much shorter, more efficient process that overall would have cost me far less money. He is absolutely caring and super detail oriented. He is not "in it for the money" which is few and far between. A great man, and great lawyer.

      Incredibly trustworthy and fantastic lawyer

      Posted by

      Eric and his whole office were a tremendous support through the divorce process. He consulted with me long before filing and saw me through setting up a QDRO process with a colleague. He has superb ethical standards and I always felt his advice was coming from both a legal standpoint and the best interest of my general well-being. I feel incredibly lucky to have had his service in a very difficult process. Based on some limited research early in the process, I think his fees are a bit above average for the Fairfield region, however his counsel was superb and actually made the cost seem very reasonable. I'd offer Eric my highest possible recommendation to anyone in my circle who was looking for counsel in a divorce or divorce related proceedings.

      Eric assisted me in achieving the correct child support number post judgement as well as retaining my former husbands tax records. Because of this, and his hard work, I was allotted the highest amount possible by the courts. Eric superseded my original intentions. He treated me with the upmost respect, was easy to speak with, always available to me and I would recommend him to my family and friends. After two tries at other lawyers, I was able to give my problems to him and feel like I could rest easily knowing he had my back.

      Excellent Attorney and Highly Recommended

      Posted by

      Eric is an outstanding attorney. He was referred to me by a friend and I would strongly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce. You definitely want him on your side. He is an expert negotiator who has a keen attention to detail but appropriately balances that with the big picture. He guided me through the entire process in a highly efficient manner. He operates with compassion and provides a realistic assessment of where you stand. He was responsive and both he and his team were quick to answer questions/calls and turn things around. He did a great job of setting my expectations throughout and delivering a good outcome that I was very happy with.If you are looking for a divorce attorney, you need look no further.

      Honest, hardworking and supportive

      Posted by

      I hired Eric for my divorce in 2012 and again when my ex abruptly stopped paying alimony last year. Eric completely supported me through both processes and was a true advocate for me. His staff was also incredibly helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend his firm. With the second case, my monthly income had suddenly dropped by 2/3 and I had no idea when or if I would be made whole. To save money, Eric and I agreed that I would represent myself during the "easier" initial court appearances, and he would work with me on an advising basis before each court date so I knew what to expect. We switched to a regular retainer agreement when it became clear there wouldn't be a simple resolution to the case. He was always fully prepared and offered various options of how we could proceed, and he gave me honest opinions about the possible outcomes of each scenario. He worked to minimize conflict with the other side and tried to reach a settlement. He is definitely NOT the type of attorney who encourages continued fighting in order to increase his own fees; however, when a settlement turned out to be impossible he fought hard for me in court and won.

      Excellent and compassionate

      Posted by

      I hired Eric for my extremely contentious divorce. He managed to get both parties to a settlement in less than a year in a very complex situation that involved legal issues in the US and abroad. Throughout the process, he has constantly reminded me of - and advocated for - the best interest of my children, which was essential. The outcome has been truly exceptional. Extremely recommended.

      Great lawyer, could have been an excellent psychotherapist.

      Eric was fantastic at defusing the emotional issues and helped me and my (now ex) wife focus on the important things (our children) We are both very grateful that took our divorce to him.

      Highly Recommended

      Posted by

      Navigating my divorce was a challenging experience to say the least, but I was supported and guided every step of the way by my attorney, Eric Posmantier. With the daunting task of hiring a divorce lawyer, I knew I would need someone with the right combination of knowledge, compassion and integrity. I interviewed many attorneys and found Eric’s strong background in family law, sincere character and direct communication to be superior to the others. He and his staff were professional and caring. I always felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Eric Postmantier for the legal expertise, compassion and understanding of the many complex facets associated with divorce.
