Dori-Ellen S. Feltman

Dori-Ellen was fantastic. She handled my contentious divorce/child custody case with aplomb. What I liked in particular was her ability to gain an exceptional outcome with tact and grace. This is all the more impressive because she truly cares about her clients and their families. All in all, she... helped make a truly unpleasant situation bearable with her excellent consul.

Dori-Ellen came as a recommendation from another attorney, I needed to resolve an ongoing court order compliance issue with a very irrational person. Dori-Ellen came out of the gate strong and resolved the issue with the same strength. She is a quick study and very responsive, no hesitation in reco...mmending her.

When I first met Attorney Feltman in her office, I was in the unfortunate position of simultaneously fighting for child custody/divorce and false felony charges related to my divorce. As you might expect, I was not exactly Mr. Congeniality after what had transpired in my case. Attorney Feltman ha...d advised me to do some very difficult things that conflicted with nearly every innate feeling in my soul, that were in my family's immediate best interests (and mine too long term) even if I was too blinded at the time to see it for myself. Every person's life boils to a finite set of life altering moments, moments whose decision will completely change the trajectory of your life forever. This was one such moment. In such moments, when your own judgement is compromised by emotion, and it is easy to succumb to connivance to do petty things, it is paramount that you have adept zealous counsel. I trusted Attorney Feltman's counsel, did exactly what she said, and the results speak for themselves. Against all odds, she get me visitation when few thought I would even get bail. I vividly recall suffering through one hearing for half an hour listening to opposing counsel try to convince a judge that I was the Zodiak Killer, and afterwards Dori-Ellen smiled and told me "Blake, you're going to get sole custody by the time this case is over". My first thought was "wow, attorney mental health is a real issue". However time is the ultimate arbiter of truth, and ultimately she proved to be correct. Not only do I enjoy sole custody, all of the criminal charges were dropped. I have no idea how many goats she sacrificed to pull off that witchcraft, however I am sure it is a line item on my retainer somewhere. Dori-Ellen Feltman is the best therapist licensed to practice law in the state of Connecticut, and I can think of no other attorney I would want by my side if I had to trek to the ends of the earth and back again. As far as I am concerned, my child has two birthdays. The day they were born, and the day Attorney Feltman returned them to my life.

I was amazed by how quickly Dori-Ellen was able to resolve the issues I was dealing with and by her excellent level of communication throughout the process. While I was facing a complicated situation, she was able to cut through the weeds quickly in order to deal with the matter at hand in an effect...ive and efficient way. I am deeply grateful.
