Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Attorney Costello last year from a friend for child support and custody issues. Attorney Costello was very knowledgeable and compassionate. He kept me informed me on every issue and made me feel safe to put my child's future in his hands. I would highly recommend him.

REVIEW

I hired Kieran to help with a simple modification because my dauther turned 18. He said it could be done for the $2500 I gave him at our first meeting. We had not even gone to court and the bill was an additional $11,000 which he knew I did not have. I fired him. He got a judgement against me and... tried to foreclose on my house. After reviewing all his invoices I realized he charged me more per hour than I had agreed to. RUN - RUN fast!

Thank you!

What I appreciated most about Kieran Costello was that he always returned my phone calls the same day. I came to Attorney Costello after firing my first lawyer in my divorce case because nothing was getting done. That lawyer never returned my calls or emails. It's so important to have someone who ...will communicate with you throughout the process and address concerns. Going through a divorce, you sometimes don't know what to press and what not to press. Attorney Costello counseled me on what battles are worth fighting and what to let go, and as a result no unnecessary costs were incurred. This divorce was the best Christmas present I ever got! I would highly recommend him for family cases and will definitely return to him for any other legal issues.

Fantastic

Costello and McCormack successfully negotiated a divorce agreement that served both me and my daughter well. I am very grateful for all of their hard work."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.

Reprimand issued in CT, 2016

updated on 03/06/2017

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.
