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.

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.

Exceptional

Attorney Broder handled my case professionally, with understanding and to a desirable outcome. Through a very difficult time, Attorney Broder’s experience, knowledge and advice were a mitigating and reassuring factor. His knowledge of the divorce process and skilled negotiating were trumped only by h...is concern for the children involved, invaluable to say the least. Respected by both sides of the table, Attorney Broder was highly recommended to me by several fellow lawyers as well as by individuals who he had represented - I similarly endorse him without hesitation.

Recommending Exceptional Divorce Attorney Eric Broder

I am writing on behalf of Family Law Attorney Eric Broder. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going thru the process of divorce. In handling my divorce, Eric managed my situation in two valuable ways. One, he was incredibly diligent and knowledgeable about the process. Because of Eric's ex...perience, he successfully managed my expectations and eliminated surprises. Two, Eric helped me understand that divorce is not a zero sum game. Divorce is not an easy process and it's easy to get emotionally attached to ideas and notions that do not necessarily make sense when thought of in the proper context. Eric always brought me back to a logical place which helped me focus on what was important in the process - ensuring our children had the best possible outcome. I recommend Eric to anyone looking for a top-notch divorce attorney. He will exceed your expectations.

Divorce Attorney

Eric and his team represented me in my divorce, I like d Eric from the minute I met him and Chris Demattie, they were confident and I felt like I was in good hands. I am self employed and explained to them that I didn't have a lot of "extra" time to prepare myself and would rely heavily on them. They... did nor disappoint me. They kept me very well versed on the proceedings and were always available for consultation. I was happy with the outcome and it was all done in a very timely manner. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a family lawyer

  • 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.
