Testimonials
Christoper Liguori
I highly recommend using Kirsten Bennett for any of your applicable legal needs. We have worked with Kirsten 3 times over the past 2 years. First, she did a will for us, then she did 2 real estate closing transactions for us. She is professional, responsive, persistent and reputable. We will always call Kirsten if we need help in any of her areas of expertise. Thanks again for the great work and smooth closings!
Meg Bonacci
Kirsten Bennett is the lawyer you want when your easy closing turns into anything but. Kirsten handled every curve ball thrown her way (and there were plenty!) with ease and professionalism. She even took my panicked Saturday morning phone call while hiking and had the problem resolved in time for our Monday morning closing. Kirsten's dedication and concern was evident from start to finish and if I am ever crazy enough to sell a home again, she will be my first phone call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you represent clients in both Connecticut and New York?
Yes. Attorney Bennett represents clients in Connecticut and New York. If you’re unsure whether your matter belongs in CT or NY (or involves both), call and we’ll help you identify the right next step.
Can you help with a real estate purchase or sale from start to finish?
Yes. We assist with key steps of real estate transactions—helping you understand documents, timelines, and closing requirements so you can move forward with confidence.
What’s the difference between a will and probate?
A will is a document that states your wishes. Probate is the legal process that may be required after someone passes away to administer and distribute assets. We can help you plan ahead with a will and guide families through probate when it’s needed.
What should I do if I’ve been arrested or charged?
Stay calm, avoid discussing details, and ask for an attorney. The earlier you get informed guidance, the better positioned you are to protect your rights and make smart decisions.
How do I get started?
Call or schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your situation, outline options, and recommend a clear path forward based on your goals.
