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.

Thank you for your commitment!

Yvette and her staff represented me through a difficult and contentious divorce from a marriage that I was terrified of ending. Yvette gave me the voice that was refused to be heard over the course of a very long, abusive relationship. Throughout the entire process she demonstrated her professiona...lism, legal intellect and a commitment to helping me move forward. Her advice was always right on point. Even though I sometimes refused to take it, she was very respectful of my decisions and continued to put my interests first. Her attention to details in my case were recognized. She worked to best protect me and my hard earned assets and remained tough and steady to meet my goals until the very end. I was very pleased with the results of the case and grateful to Yvette for meeting my goals, including not paying a penny in alimony. Thank you Yvette, I can now begin to see a brighter, happier future.

Best Lawyer in Stamford

Attorney Fallon settled my case with great financial results! Being married for over twenty years and not knowing what a divorce involved, she was able to satisfy all of my concerns and questions I had regarding my divorce. I felt comfortable talking with her and sharing confidence and was comfortabl...e with her handling my case. I have recommended Attorney Fallon to several others and they have agreed with me that we were highly satisfied with the quality of service and, most importantly, the financial results she was able to obtain. Attorney Fallon settled my case without going to trial. She didn't put pressure on me and would take the time to talk things out with me to make sure I understood everything She listened to my concerns and treated me with respect. She handled my divorce several years ago and has continued to follow up with my current post judgment issues.

Very Unprofessional

called this office to inquire about a post divorce modifcation. The receptionist took my info and said Yvette would get back to me but, FYI she charges $475.00 per hour. I said ok I will wait for her call but in my opinion that is something that the attorney should discuss with the client. Later that... afternoon Yvette called me back and was very abrupt. She cut me off a couple times while trying to explain my situation,I barely got two sentences out and she said hold on one second. Her receptionist picked up and said so you want to come in for a consultation. I said I was mid sentence and she put me old. After processing this, I realized that it was above her to spend 5 mins on the phone hearing my situation and that anymore I would have to come in and pay her 475 hourly rate. I found it totally unprofessional, and I dont think its abnormal to want to spend 10 mins on the phone with someone to see if you mesh before you agree to pay them 475 per when they are a family law attorney.

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.”
