Hired Attorney

I have the largest post divorce file in Hartford County. My ex is very wealthy and a sociopath narcissist... I hired Tom to supplement my legal team. He put an IMMEDIATE stop to the bullying, terrorizing tactics of my ex and his shady lawyer (my legal team's assessment) and the 'old boys' network of Hartford Family Court. His fees are ridiculously high, but if you are in a high net worth, advisarial situation, there is NO other option. He was HIGHLY effective, but his straight forward, no BS attitude might be difficult for those who have been traumatized by the divorce process and the complete lack of 'justice' in CT's Family Law courts, but my advise, you can't afford not to hire him.
