Testimonials for our Connecticut Legal Services
Attorney Katz and his staff are experienced with family law and I was deeply appreciative of their efforts. I would hire again and recommend to anyone.
Attorney Drapeau and his team are absolutely incredible. They made this stressful, confusing process quick and easy. Couldn’t have been more patient, friendly and professional.
Very professional of front honest individuals. Scott was a great lawyer took care of everything as we discussed. Highly recommend
Attorney Scott Carta and my paralegal, Lorrie Cohen helped me through the process of my work related injury. They were very helpful and made sure I received all benefits and treatment needed. I am truly grateful and recommend them to everyone. I don't know where I would be without them. Dealing with a workers compensation company can be a nightmare, but they did all the work so I could focus on my recovery.
Attorney Drapeau did a great job on my Workers Comp case. He is very kind, understanding and professional. He explains everything that’s going on as time goes on. Lorrie Cohen, his paralegal, is absolutely amazing!! With all she has to do, she doesn’t miss anything and helped me tremendously during these last many years (just separate from my employer) and I can never thank her enough! These two make a great team!!
Jim Katz is an experienced family law attorney that fights for you and your rights above and beyond! Way to go Jim!
James was the best thing about my divorce.... I was going through hell and he was extremely patient, and despite my actions was able to achieve a fair deal. He will always be my brother from another mother 😁
Excellent attorneys. Very professional and respond quickly.
I agree totally with that first review. I have had the best experience having this firm represent me through the Workers Compensation system. Attorney Carta and his team have been really helpful, supportive, patient, and professional throughout. I have been so impressed with their caring attitude and willingness to help with the many twists and turns these cases sometimes (often) take. I like this team enough that I personally have recommended them to co-workers who found themselves also needing help with Workers Comp. They never stop fighting for me, and have helped me to ultimately win at each stage of the sometimes complex process. I so appreciate that they care, and have *never* felt that I am "just a number" nor "someone too small to care about" in the legal system. Although their main office is in Rockville, they have met me closer to my home and work-place when needed, and always make it very easy to interact with them.
Everything about Leighton, Katz & Drapeau is superb! They are caring, honest, dependable, hardworking, proven winners, and litigate with your interests at heart!
