Ethical, strategic, and focused

Ken is honestly a wonderful lawyer who provides great counsel. In handling my divorce he was able to minimize drama, protect my interests, and keep his hours and fees to a minimum. Ken got me the best outcome in a very difficult situation. Going through a divorce is tough, Ken managed to get my divor...ce done as quickly and efficiently as possible. He is a genuine and honest person, who is clearly well connected and well liked in the law community. He is ethical, strategic, and focused. Ken was referred to me by a friend who spend years and an absolute fortune trying to get divorced until he hired Ken who was able to get it finalized. He’s the best!

Strategic, Ethical, Smart - Best in CT

Ken is wonderful. If you want someone tough but ethical this is your guy. He's the opposite of the Fairfield County lawyer-sharks who extend the drama to get as much money as possible -- but Ken out maneuvers them. He obtained the best possible outcome for me in a hard situation. Ken is trustworth...y and puts client interests first. He consistently helped me make choices that minimized unneeded drama (in a toxic and frightening situation.) I came out of the divorce with protections for my child, financial security and the right to move from Connecticut to my home state. Everything I needed to rebuild my life. Ken's retainer and rate were fair and he did not charge for all sorts of little things that all the other lawyers I interviewed charged for. He made a clear attempt top minimize hours charged and keep his fees manageable. Ken handled my ex-husband brilliantly, even though my ex is very difficult to manage and suffers from a serious psychological condition. He was extremely persistent and tough -- but kind. Ken even maintained a positive and friendly relationship with the other attorney in a situation that could have been quite adversarial. In fact, he maintained a great relationship with all the judges and lawyers and seemed to know everyone. Like it or not, you will probably get to know your divorce lawyer really well. (Like when you are stuck together all day in a dingy courthouse room...) Ken is a great guy and worth getting to know. He is a family man who partners with his (adorable) dad in a vintage law building in this seriously cute mid-Connecticut preserved small town (you can pick up great, cheap antiques after your appointment -- or like, have tea.) He obviously loves his wife and kids, can recommend the best budget-friendly contractor --heck he raises backyard chickens. I challenge anyone to find a lawyer who is as simultaneously seasoned and tough -- but also so down to earth. The guy could star in a wholesome 1950's black and white sitcom about being a divorce lawyer -- not kidding. Divorce sucks. Nothing is more painful, stressful or upsetting. Do yourself a favor, and make is a little less horrible, by hiring this gem of a lawyer.

Avvo Rating

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.
