GLASTONBURY, CONNECTICUT · FAMILY LAW + FAMILY-VIOLENCE DEFENSE
The office is in Glastonbury. The firm’s primary market is Glastonbury and Greater Hartford, and it accepts appropriate matters across Central Connecticut and into the southeast.
Connecticut has no county government, so what matters is not which county you live in but which courthouse hears your case. That depends on your town, and it is different for family matters and criminal matters.
Most of the towns the firm serves are in the Hartford Judicial District, where family cases are heard at 90 Washington Street in Hartford. That district covers Glastonbury, Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Manchester, South Windsor, Marlborough, Bloomfield, Windsor, Windsor Locks, East Windsor, East Granby, Enfield, and Suffield.
Some nearby towns are not in that district, and people get this wrong regularly:
| Towns | Judicial district |
|---|---|
| Wethersfield · Rocky Hill · Newington · New Britain | New Britain |
| Middletown · Cromwell · Portland | Middlesex |
| Vernon · Tolland | Tolland |
| Meriden | New Haven |
| Norwich · New London | New London |
Fully contested custody trials are sometimes referred to the Regional Family Trial Docket in Middletown, which handles the most difficult custody cases from across the state.
Criminal arraignments happen at the geographical area court, which is a different building from the family court. For Glastonbury, East Hartford, Manchester, Marlborough, and South Windsor, that is G.A. 12, 410 Center Street in Manchester.
Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield are G.A. 14. Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Newington, and New Britain are G.A. 15. Middletown, Cromwell, and Portland are G.A. 9. Vernon and Tolland are G.A. 19. Meriden is G.A. 7. New London is G.A. 10 and Norwich is G.A. 21.
If you have a family case and a criminal case from the same incident, they will usually be in two different courthouses on two different schedules.

Additional town pages are added where the firm can say something genuinely local about the court and the practice there. The firm does not publish near-identical pages that differ only by town name.
Every case starts with a conversation about what you’re facing and what it would take to handle it.
