Skilled and compassionate guidance through a difficult divorce

Randi Nelson expertly guided me through a complex, high-conflict divorce. Her deep knowledge of Connecticut matrimonial law, honed over a decade of focused practice, was evident in every strategic decision. She was a fierce advocate who also provided much-needed emotional steadiness. While occasional communication delays occurred during particularly busy periods, her overall counsel was invaluable. Her recognition as a Rising Star is well-deserved. I felt thoroughly prepared and protected throughout the entire litigation process.
