Outstanding Attorney

Alan has represented me in ongoing, post-divorce, child custody issues. His guidance was invaluable, billing schedule fair, and repressiveness second to none. His expert advice has insured the safety of my daughter. I always recommend Alan's services.

Divorce Attorney

Through a very lengthly divorce, Alan was a very professional and competent attorney. While the process was difficult and painful, his wisdom and experience were of tremendous benefit to me. He was direct, concise, responsive and open with his thoughts and recommendations. I felt that his fees wer...e fair and reasonable. He helped me through a very difficult process and time in my life. I would use Alan again. He has been an attorney for many years and I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of professional legal service.

Excellent Representation!

Highly skilled and a great strategist. Alan shoots straight and doesn't promise things that can't be delivered just to get a retainer fee. His fees are reasonable and he's responsive. I've been dealing with a high conflict divorce for two years. Alan fights for his clients, is very knowledgeable abo...ut the law and is excellent in court.

Did not live up to reputation

During the first meeting at court we met behind closed doors to sort out a temporary agreement. Allan did not fight for me at all, he agreed to high child support. I spoke up and negotiated it down myself. When I requested the use of one of the family vehicles he cut me off and didn't let me argue my... point. The next step was mediation. We met at the courthouse and Allan had not prepared me at all for negotiation. In the following months I negotiated a settlement and sent it to Allan to prepare and send to the other attorney. Allan charged me four hours to read the document . In the end I did all the negotiating and I paid Allan close to twenty thousand dollars for him to take a few phone calls from the other attorney, read the agreement I prepared and process the property deeds at the courthouse, which he did wrong the first time and billed me again to fix.

This person was obviously not a client of Mr. Connell. He sounds like Mr. Connell may have represented his spouse in divorce proceedings and he is merely trying to "get even" by posting a false review. This happens on many occasions when a person going through a divorce is unable to bully his spouse because that spouse is represented by a competent attorney who refuses to allow his client to be bullied. Mr. Connell is that kind of an attorney.
