I sought Attorney Therrien’s representation in modifying an existing custody agreement held with a very high conflict co-parent. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were given less than 24 hours notice before our court date. In that small amount of time Attorney Therrien reviewed and sorted through nearly a year’s worth of evidence to learn my case, had appropriate witnesses subpoena’d, and made sure the proposed modification was exactly what I wanted/reasonable. Communication with her and her paralegal was quick, easy and always responded to in a timely manner. During our hearing Attorney Therrien made me feel at ease, and provided counter arguments that made the other side literally stutter at times. She checked on me during our break and after to make sure I was holding up okay. In an extremely high stress situation she made me feel as at ease as possible while also being aggressive, clear and firm with our arguments. During the two days following our hearing as we waited to hear a decision I prepared myself for the worst (as is my nature in stressful situations - prepare for the worst but hope for the best!). Even with the mindset that the judge may not agree with what I was requesting, I still felt pleased with Attorney Therrien’s representation and am certain few others could have done such a thorough job, especially given such little notice. Nevertheless, the judge agreed with mine/Attorney Therrien’s requests and I feel like I can rest easier for the first time in over a year. Attorney Therrien does not beat around the bush. She is straightforward, blunt, honest, tough, and largely outspoken. I won’t lie, to an extreme introvert like myself she can be a bit intimidating! However she will represent and fight what you need with a rarely seen dedication and tenaciousness, and seems to truly care about her clients and their wellbeing.
If there were more more stars I would give her a six. She went up against the most biased judge, and won my daughter's case. She was well prepared, organized, and basically had the defendant at a loss for his own words. She is an incredible attorney.
Kelly Therrien is a dynamic attorney who is well versed in divorce law. I found Attorney Therrien to be formidable and tenacious in her litigation; a tireless advocate, who is diligent in assuring that her clients are well prepared and able to withstand any destabilizing strategies advanced by opposing counsel. When faced with a high conflict divorce that is mired with spousal narcissism and layered with physical and emotional abuse – I highly recommend Attorney Therrien, she is up for the challenge.
Kelly is an extremely skilled and knowledgeable attorney. She is very direct; you may not always like what she has to say, but she will look for a realistic and fair resolution that is best for your children and you. I have watched Kelly interact with the court personnel and other attorneys, and she is clearly well-respected by all. I have referred several friends to her, and all have been happy with her work. Kelly does not needlessly run up a bill, and she is worth every cent. In addition, Kelly is very inclusive. She also will explain things to you so you understand the process and make an informed decision on what's best for your family. Navigating the family court is extremely overwhelming; I am grateful that Kelly was on my side! If there were an opportunity to leave ten stars, I would!
Attorney Kelly Therian is a knowledgeable, professional, and right to the point. This Attorney is very thorough and has met all my needs during a very difficulT divorce. Her staff is helpful and friendly. She’s the want you want on your side!
Attorney Therrien and I have been together the past 3 years during the most difficult time in my life. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side. Kelly's attention to detail is second to none. She is an extremely hard worker and really respected amongst her peers. She is excellent in the court room been through 2 fully contested restraining order hearings with her by my side. I will recommend her to anyone I know going through the divorce process.
Attorney Therrien was extremely helpful in helping me handle an unusual custody situation. She was very efficient with her time and provided great advice throughout the process. I could also tell that the other attorneys involved in the process respected her.
There are many amazing lawyers in CT. Please don’t choose this one, unless you want someone who doesn’t care about you or your children.
Atty Therrien is a crook. She didn’t properly explain her billing services. Billed me hundreds of dollars. Made my case a nastier than it needed to be so she can collect more $. Worked past our retainer agreement then billed me thousands that I didn’t agree to her working past the exhausted agreement. Then she left me high and dry in the middle of the divorce. Now Come to find out she was let go by her firm. Don’t hire unless you want to pay ridiculous $ for her reading emails.
