Really Great Attorney

Attorney Yvette Fallon settled my divorce, saved me time and money and kept me out of the courtroom. Yvette created a settlement that met my best interests. I recommend highly Attorney Fallon to anyone who needs legal help. She took pride in her work and it showed. And, most important, she is someone... that I trust.

Professional and Sharp

I have had occasion to speak with Ms. Fallon on a legal matter I was asked to take over because her clients' case fell under New York, not Connecticut jurisdiction. I found her to be thoroughly professional and knowledgeable, with the highest dedication to her clients' interests.

Experience

Rating:  10.0 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2009.

Conditions issued in CT, 2009

updated on 04/28/2016

A condition is a disciplinary order from the Statewide Grievance Committee that an attorney fulfill a condition within a certain time frame. If the attorney does not fulfill a condition in a timely manner, the Superior Court may also impose any condition necessary to protect the public.

Yvette’s comment:

“Attorney Fallon holds, and has always held, a "Certificate of Good Standing" with the State of Connecticut Judiciary Licensing Authority. No conditions were ever placed on her legal practice. This 2009 matter, which Attorney Fallon had no direct involvement in, a minor dispute between a former employee & a former client, was settled on behalf of the firm by Attorney Fallon, co chair of the Regional Bar Ethics & Professionalism Committee and, as co chair, she presented a seminar on the topic.”
