In keeping with the ethical principles of the Connecticut Bar, we will not recommend documents that are more complicated than you really need, and we will keep our legal fees reasonable, using “flat fees” whenever possible instead of hourly fees.

We are a small and client-friendly law firm with 21+ years of legal experience in estate planning. Our goal is to simply provide you with peace-of-mind. This is achieved when you have a solid and updated plan in place that will minimize the stress and administrative headaches for your loved ones in the event that you pass away or become incapacitated.
