People turn to a lawyer they know, like, and trust – regardless of his or her practice area – when they have a legal question. The COVID-19 public health emergency has resulted in an uptick in the number of Connecticut residents experiencing an urgent family law issue. Concurrently, the Judicial Branch is adapting and is frequently rolling out updated procedures designed to assist with family law matters while prioritizing the safety of the public, the bar, and the bench.
