Top firm in Fairfield County

Eric and his team have an amazing reputation and I instantly understood why when I met them. You just know they’ve got everything under control. The team helps you navigate the entire process and takes into account your financial situation; your spouse’s personality and lawyer; and most importantly, ...your children’s well being. Having a lawyer that is respected by other attorneys and the judges is invaluable. I will always be grateful to Eric for how he took care of me and my boys.

skilled counsel and counselor of law

Chances are, your divorce will not bring out the best in either you or your spouse. Eric deftly navigated our the nastiness in my case, counseling me against filing motions that were sure to embarrass my spouse, were likely to prevail at a hearing but would certainly have increased my costs threefold.... Many lawyers are expert in the law; many too are expert at courtroom litigation bravado. Eric started there but proved his real worth with his discretion and judgment. Eric is aggressive, but never for its own sake. While my husband's attorney busied himself taking silly but expensive shots (e.g., unnecessarily hiring marshalls to serve papers that had already been provided / tacky verbal jabs during depositions), Eric gathered the facts and made cogent legal arguments. Because he played by the rules, the Guardian ad Litem, judges and mediator trusted him. I trusted him. Even my ex trusted him. It is not a stretch to say that given the personalities on the other side, our case would not have settled but for Eric's persistent professionalism.

Exceptional

Eric Broder and his firm provided me exceptional legal service. Eric is honorable, highly compassionate, helpful, and was extremely attentive to my complex legal needs. I was dealing with a highly complicated, gut-wrenching divorce that involved custody of a special needs child. Eric Broder was quick... to respond to my inquiries and provided multiple options and solid advice and counsel. Eric and his team did not allow me to get bullied by the process and protected my children and I from financial ruin. Eric found every cent that was obligated to my children. He went above and beyond to find finances that my former husband had attempted to hide during the process. Eric Broder is competent, thorough and delivers results. He is compassionate strong and well respected by judges, clerks, and counsel. Eric Broder is fair with his billing. He did not allow my divorce to destroy me. Eric is a skilled attorney that fights hard to get results for his clients, with many years of experience and an excellent reputation. His knowledge of the legal field is broad and accurate. I was extremely impressed with his ability to recall the smallest details of my case and I always felt that his interest in my personal situation was sincere. Eric is a family man with a passion for justice. He is the example of what every attorney should be. On the day of my divorce, my ex-husband commented that he wished Eric was his attorney. Eric made sure my special needs child, and my other children were set for life. Highly recommended.

Client

In the most unfortunate and painful curcumstances, Eric Broder (and his entire firm, from receptionists to paralegals to partners) did an amazing job- not only in securing a great settlement, but (as or more importantly) was incredibly patient, sensitive and understanding of intense emotions and the ...big picture throughout the entire process. Beyond competent and honorable, Eric also always responded back ASAP- no matter how busy. A very close friend- an atty whose opinion I value very much- recommended Eric, and many people I meet who hear his name have only the highest level of respect and honor associated with his name and his firm. While one hopes his services are never needed, if they ever should be, you will be in the best hands! Leslie

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
