Navigating my high-conflict divorce was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. From our first consultation, Annmarie Briones provided not only exceptional legal counsel but a sense of genuine understanding that was invaluable. Her unique background, including her Master's in Marriage & Family Therapy, was immediately apparent. She approached our complex child custody and asset division issues with a rare blend of emotional intelligence and sharp legal strategy, which helped de-escalate tensions and focus on practical solutions. Her deep knowledge of Connecticut family law and her recent recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in Family Law Arbitration were evident in her confident, precise guidance. She and the team at Cohen and Wolf secured a settlement that protected my children's stability and my financial future. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone facing a family law matter in the Bridgeport area.
