Testimonials

"The entire divorce process can be intimidating, confusing, and stressful. I chose Attorney Marguerite Friar because of her no-nonsense style and exceptional understanding of family law in Connecticut. Having moved across country for my work made the divorce even more complicated. Attorney Friar did a fantastic job of keeping me immediately informed throughout the ordeal and scheduling hearings around my availability. I know that I had the best representation and would highly recommend her services for anyone seeking competent and thorough legal counsel."

W. Hohler, formerly of Dayville, CT

"Prior to working with Attorney Friar, I was ignorant and naive about the legal system. Attorney Friar guided me through the process which greatly reduced my stress level. She answered all of my questions and did not act in a superior manner to me. I pretty much got what I wanted out of the divorce."

K. White, Brooklyn, CT

"When I was served with divorce papers, I read them from front to back and assumed the worst. The papers were already filled out with me paying for everything and only the dollar amounts were left blank. Attorney Friar explained everything thoroughly which reduced my fears. After a few negotiation meetings with the other side, everything became more clear and was not one sided as many people tend to believe. Attorney Friar handled all of the negotiations with ease including a last minute surprise demand. I highly recommend Attorney Friar for representation in a divorce case. She is professional and a pleasure to work with."

S. Holland, Columbia, CT

"My divorce was not an easy process and at times included significant conflict and emotion. Despite all of these factors, Attorney Friar got the job done and did it well. She explained all of my legal options and the possible outcome of each one. She also explained the legal terms and documents clearly so I understood exactly what was happening."

L. Bernier, Danielson, CT

"I was very fortunate to have Attorney Friar as my divorce lawyer. She did an excellent job and was very informative and thorough. She made sure that I understood everything. She was very accomodating and promptly answered my phone calls. I would recommend her to anyone."

R. Violette, Hebron, CT

"When I was looking for a lawyer that wasn�t afraid to get into the middle of things, I didn't know where to look for one that was out of state as I reside in Virginia. I was referred to Attorney Friar and told she could get the job done. I have been struggling with an out of control arrearage case that has been looming over my head for 7 years and at every turn I had been told it was the most confusing case my previous lawyers had seen. In the end I was told 'I can do nothing with this'. Attorney Friar jumped right in and started asking questions to the right people and making the right phone calls and in less than a month's time had this problem resolved. With a 'can-do' personality and a 'can-do' attitude she made it look easy. Now I have further action to press forward with on this matter after this resolution in order to get justice. With Attorney Friar in my corner I have no doubt that the wrong that has plagued me for the last 7 years will be made right."

E. Bast III, Fredericksburg, VA

"Attorney Friar represented me in my divorce and I am very satisfied with the outcome and how the divorce orders are worded. Since my spouse was not cooperative, Attorney Friar needed to do additional work to get the divorce finalized. She was very efficient, professional and cordial. I highly recommend her services."

P. Myers, Mansfield, CT

"Attorney Friar is a very dedicated attorney that goes far and beyond to represent your best interests. She is highly organized and will always communicate in a timely manner. She is a very resourceful attorney. I strongly recommend her services."

M. Mbabali, North Windham, CT

"My experience with Attorney Friar has been excellent. I was seeking a divorce from my wife, who lives in Florida, and was advised by others that I could do this online for much less money than through a lawyer. After spending several hundred dollars and hours of filling out gobs of forms online I was totally confused. I then found out how difficult and impossible the online process was going to be. So I contacted Attorney Friar and she agreed to help me. My worries of fulfilling the divorce process ended. Attorney Friar took care of everything. She made everything easy, and now our divorce is final. "

W. Hurd, Coventry, CT

"Attorney Friar relieved so much of my anxiety while going through a divorce. She quickly developed a collaborative, well-oiled working relationship with the opposing attorney. Attorney Friar responded to my questions and needs very promptly and kept me abreast of everything that was going on in a timely fashion. That was extremely important to me! She helped negotiate a very fair settlement for me, and I feel she was worth every cent of her retainer."

C.J., Enfield, CT

"Our recent dealing with Attorney Friar was a very positive experience. If you are looking for representation that encompasses honesty, integrity and professionalism, then look no further. Attorney Friar managed to combine knowledge and compassion along with an amazing attention to detail. We felt her approach was consistent and very measured when gathering information to comprise our case. We appreciated that while firm in her convictions, she exhibited a manner of decorum that, in our estimation, far outweighed any showmanship that others may choose to employ. It was a pleasure from start to finish and we would highly recommend Attorney Friar to anyone in need of legal counsel. "

J. Stygar, Mansfield, CT

"Attorney Friar immediately grasped the nuances of my case and explained to me very clearly what my options were and the possible outcomes. She was kind as well as skilled and knowledgeable. The entire experience could have been painful and frustrating but Attorney Friar made the process seamless and as easy as possible while fighting for my family's behalf for the best possible outcome."

K. McNulty, Storrs, CT

"Attorney Friar did a wonderful job explaining to me pieces of a legal document I clearly didn't understand. She offered me insightful advice and provided me with all the resources I needed to make my own informed decisions. She was very communicative and worked hard to get the job done."

J.O., Colchester, CT

Jeff F., Columbia, CT

"I was exceedingly pleased with Atty. Friar. She was knowledgeable, forthcoming, and very professional. She listened attentively to my story, answered my questions, provided options, and detailed a clear path moving forward in the divorce proceedings. She advocated for me and was prompt in completing necessary documents and court filings. I highly recommend her."

Judyann F., Andover, CT

"Marguerite was a constant wealth of information and guidance throughout our mediation process. She gave us the tools to present a fair agreement for the court and prepared us to represent ourselves in the courtroom as well. We had checked into another mediation center beforehand and Marguerite was much more suited to us personally as well as financially. We would have no hesitation to recommend anyone to seek her services. "
