Dori-Ellen and her Assistant, Ilene, are both professional women who understand the needs of their client. Dori-Ellen is all facts. She is a straight shooter and will tell you when you should ask for more, or accept the agreement. Dori-Ellen is an intelligent and experienced divorce/family lawyer whom I recommend to anyone who wants their child support to reflect what they deserve. She will always be prepared, travel the distance necessary, and communicate thoroughly what needs to be done next. There are times where I would feel frustrated and she would calm me down, help me breathe, allow me to recollect my thoughts, and guide me to come to a realistic decision. Dori-Ellen knew my financial challenges and worked hard to help me save money by empowering me to do some of my own legwork. This made me feel more successful in the outcome, because she helped me see that "I can do it". Dori-Ellen and Ilene are dynamite and you will be ecstatic with your experience for this firm (Dori-Ellen) to represent you. Divorced moms need someone on their side, this is why we all used Dori-Ellen! Thank you DE and team... my three kids and I can now live a financially comfortable life knowing that their father is court ordered to pay the correct child support amount and the larger portion of their college, for each one of my kids! All I ever wanted was for their dad to be held accountable, and Dori-Ellen made that happen!

I hired Dori-Ellen to represent me in my divorce. She had a very calculated way about her but has the ability to gracefully remove emotion from the equation. Let's face it, there are emotions involved in every divorce which can hinder your common sense and get get you to react in a fashion that can hurt your final judgement. She helped me get through that. Every time we had to present to a judge or mediator, she was fully prepared...i's dotted and t's crossed, which allowed us to present from a position of strength and confidence. My ex-wife's lawyer played dirty throughout the proceedings and, among other things, tried to execute 3 injunctions, each of which we won - due to being prepared. I would highly recommend Dori-Ellen and feel that she will get you the best result you could ever expect. She did that for me!

Dori-Ellen was an absolute pleasure to work with for my divorce settlement. Her experience ranges from legal aspects through financial considerations all the way to consensus management. She was super-supporive throughout the entire process, offering empathetic guidance, a wide range of workable options and thoughtful recommendations along the way. I really appreciated her pragmatic approach to managing the process. I also enjoyed working with Ilene, her Legal Assistant, who kept all parties well informed and managed the flow of information accurately and in a timely fashion. All in all, a very positive experience - highly recommended.

Dori-Ellen Feltman was the ideal fit to represent me. What is priceless about Dori-Ellen is that throughout the preparation for my hearing, she got to know me and my son, and she was committed to providing the consummate representation. It’s clear that Dori-Ellen Feltman customizes her approach to best serve each client. Dori-Ellen was driven to best prepare for my case: she is the type of lawyer who frequently meets to strategize with her client, and she proactively anticipates, plans, and responds accordingly, as opposed to being reactive. I have no doubt that my case would have resulted in a negative outcome without the representation of Dori-Ellen Feltman.

Dori-Ellen helped me through a very difficult time in my life with her great legal expertise. I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Dori-Ellen was fantastic. She handled my contentious divorce/child custody case with aplomb. What I liked in particular was her ability to gain an exceptional outcome with tact and grace. This is all the more impressive because she truly cares about her clients and their families. All in all, she helped make a truly unpleasant situation bearable with her excellent consul.

Dori-Ellen came as a recommendation from another attorney, I needed to resolve an ongoing court order compliance issue with a very irrational person. Dori-Ellen came out of the gate strong and resolved the issue with the same strength. She is a quick study and very responsive, no hesitation in recommending her.

I've hired Dori-Ellen on two separate occasions and was more than satisfied with her counsel. I felt she always had my best interest at heart and provided the outcome I had hoped for.

When I first met Attorney Feltman in her office, I was in the unfortunate position of simultaneously fighting for child custody/divorce and false felony charges related to my divorce. As you might expect, I was not exactly Mr. Congeniality after what had transpired in my case. Attorney Feltman had advised me to do some very difficult things that conflicted with nearly every innate feeling in my soul, that were in my family's immediate best interests (and mine too long term) even if I was too blinded at the time to see it for myself. Every person's life boils to a finite set of life altering moments, moments whose decision will completely change the trajectory of your life forever. This was one such moment. In such moments, when your own judgement is compromised by emotion, and it is easy to succumb to connivance to do petty things, it is paramount that you have adept zealous counsel. I trusted Attorney Feltman's counsel, did exactly what she said, and the results speak for themselves. Against all odds, she get me visitation when few thought I would even get bail. I vividly recall suffering through one hearing for half an hour listening to opposing counsel try to convince a judge that I was the Zodiak Killer, and afterwards Dori-Ellen smiled and told me "Blake, you're going to get sole custody by the time this case is over". My first thought was "wow, attorney mental health is a real issue". However time is the ultimate arbiter of truth, and ultimately she proved to be correct. Not only do I enjoy sole custody, all of the criminal charges were dropped. I have no idea how many goats she sacrificed to pull off that witchcraft, however I am sure it is a line item on my retainer somewhere. Dori-Ellen Feltman is the best therapist licensed to practice law in the state of Connecticut, and I can think of no other attorney I would want by my side if I had to trek to the ends of the earth and back again. As far as I am concerned, my child has two birthdays. The day they were born, and the day Attorney Feltman returned them to my life.

I was amazed by how quickly Dori-Ellen was able to resolve the issues I was dealing with and by her excellent level of communication throughout the process. While I was facing a complicated situation, she was able to cut through the weeds quickly in order to deal with the matter at hand in an effective and efficient way. I am deeply grateful.
