Attorney · Morton Family & Criminal Law, PLLC · Glastonbury, Connecticut

Attorney Daniel M. Morton
BACKGROUND

Daniel Morton grew up in Glastonbury and practices there now. In between, he spent roughly a decade in contested litigation — most of it in family court, with a parallel criminal practice limited to domestic and family violence matters.

He has extensive first-chair experience in contested divorce, custody and parenting disputes, post-judgment modification and enforcement, restraining order proceedings, and complex financial matters. He has represented clients across a wide financial spectrum, including cases involving substantial and complicated marital estates.

Before returning to Connecticut, he practiced family and criminal law in the Dallas–Fort Worth area for approximately five years, where he owned and ran his own firm handling family matters alongside domestic-violence-related criminal defense. Earlier, he served as a staff attorney with Connecticut Legal Services, where he was the principal family law attorney in the Waterbury office — work that involved representing clients in exactly the circumstances where family and criminal matters overlap, often with very little margin for error.

That history is why this firm is structured the way it is. The intersection of family court and criminal court is not a marketing position here; it is what the practice has actually consisted of.
