Attorney Drapeau did an outstanding job on my case and I am very happy with the results. Lori helped me also and was very helpful. Sara was mostly nice but when I tried to talk to her she seemed a bit agitated. I also recommended a friend.

Review for Attorney Francis Xavier Drapeau Let me start by saying I never had or expected to have a case or law firm this long in my life. My journey started in 2006 with Attorney Bernie Poliner of Poliner and Poliner in Middletown, Connecticut. Bernie had mentioned to me that he had been thinking of retiring and negotiating with the Law Firm of Leighton, Katz and Drapeau in Vernon, Connecticut, to take over his case load. As it turns out Bernie had a severe fall, hit his head and within days had passed away. Bernie’s Legal Secretary, Lorrie Cohen was making the move to the firm of Leighton, Katz and Drapeau. Lorrie has been a God-send to me because I have called her numerous times where she has been a sounding board for me, answered questions, listened to me with concerns and always there to help in any way she could. It was an easy transition to Attorney Drapeau’s firm because I knew Lorrie knew my case inside out that was very comforting to me. For the next 10 (ten) years, Lorrie was my “go to” person, she was like a sister to me. Attorney Drapeau, I personally believe is the best Workmen’s Comp attorney could have ever had. H was always on top of my case to answer questions and concerns thoroughly. I was amazed at what “A Cool Cat” he was always calm and talked to you until you understood, I never walked away from him either on the phone or in person scratching my head saying “what was he talking about?” In my opinion he represented my case with the best of his ability, kept me happy, so I would definitely recommend him to anyone that was looking for “THE BEST” Worker’s Comp attorney to represent them. He truly is the best Sincerely, Blake, Connecticut
