Practice Areas: Elder Law

Brendan, one of Connecticut’s top elder law attorneys, (according to Super Lawyers Magazine) has preserved his clients’ estates by crafting plans to protect their money as they age and face the prospect of long-term care.   Brendan, with his gentle manner, will explain in plain English, how you can protect your assets while receiving public benefits.. With his extensive experience and thorough understanding of the Medicaid eligibility rules and regulations, Brendan can help you get Medicaid benefits so you are able to preserve the money you’ve worked so hard for. And because of his success in many appeals of Medicaid cases, he will fight to get you benefits even if you’ve already been denied.   Brendan’s expertise in estate planning includes customizing planning strategies that allow you to build wealth, saving on taxes and protecting the people who depend on you for support.. In addition, Brendan also can help families with disability planning. If you’re a parent or guardian of a child with special needs, he will work hard to make sure that your child remain financially secure even when you’re no longer there to provide support. He can set up a special needs trust to protect your money for your child while retaining their eligibility for benefit programs.. Don’t be fooled by Brendan’s laid back style. He will fight tooth and nail to protect you from losing your money to long term care. In 2012, Brendan prevailed in a case that had a significant impact on Connecticut law. He represented a woman whose husband was in a nursing facility. Medicaid considered her husband ineligible for benefits due to the income she received from an annuity. Brendan brought the case to federal district court and fought to keep the state from counting annuities as an income source for Medicaid eligibility.. His landmark case (Lopes v. DSS), a victory, resulted in the husband receiving Medicaid benefits and the wife keeping the annuity income for her own living expenses. The court’s far-reaching verdict now makes it possible for many Connecticut senior married couples to purchase annuities as an asset protection strategy.. Even though Brendan is at his desk before dawn, he does enjoy a full life outside of work in Simsbury, where he lives with his wife and two young children. When he has time for himself, he likes to hike, bike and play the blues on his guitar.

Practice Areas: Business

Guiding businesses and business owners on general and complex legal matters requires skill, knowledge, timing, and patience. So does fly fishing the tropical flats and the cold New England waters. As an attorney, I am an experienced advisor on many matters, including: mergers & acquisitions, contracts, negotiations, licenses, international transactions, business partner disputes, succession & estate planning, tax, and real estate transactions. If you would like to talk about fly fishing, I am also passionate about striped bass, tarpon, bonefish and snook (among others). Sharing stories and opportunities for either are always welcomed and interesting conversations. After viewing the experiences and demands of my family’s manufacturing business first-hand, I attended business school at Bryant University, studying family business management. I have also studied international business in Florence, Italy. Prior to attending law school I was a business consultant with a computer technology firm, advising business owners on how to effectively leverage new technologies to solve real business problems. All of these experiences have cultivated a practical, solution-based approach that I bring to each matter that comes before me.. As an advisor I am a problem solver and a deal advisor. I lean upon my business and legal backgrounds to understand my client’s business or personal needs and goals, and to focus on practical solutions that fit those needs, the matter, and the economics involved. Through this approach I have had the pleasure of assisting various clients achieve positive results such as:. I attended law school at the University of Connecticut School of Law where I was a member of the Insurance Law Journal and was published as a case editor for “Fidelity & Surety Digest,” which focuses on construction and financial services bonding requirements. I have also engaged in various pro bono activities including as a volunteer attorney with the Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative, Inc. and as a member of the board at New Life Christian Fellowship of Connecticut, Inc.. I currently live just outside of Hartford, Connecticut with my wife and four children. When I am not in the office I am often exhausted by my kids while playing, trying to play golf, making furniture, or engaging in any activity that presents a challenge to overcome.

I Focus on clients and their issues in a practical and goal oriented way. I aim for a particular outcome based on what the client requires. Sometimes that’s money. Sometimes it’s “other”, like a town approval or a tenant out of their unit.. My goal is always to resolve matters to my client's full satisfaction in a timely manner, within the bounds of what the law allows. Whether that is through negotiation, or litgation, or some other alternative, I have the experience to guide my clients to successful resolutions of their matters, or to connect them with other professionals who can do so. As a (relatively) young and social lawyer, I am active in the community and have developed a network of trusted, qualified legal professionals (lawyers, outside paralegals, legal advisors) who handle matters that I do not. I also have a deep network of other professionals like realtors, banks, accountants, investment advisors, non traditional funders, mortgage originators, inspectors, surveyors and environmental consultants that I work with on a regular basis who treat my clients respectfully. These personal relationships make a big difference in cost, quality, and outcome.. I also have the wonderful asset of working with my father and his 50 plus years of experience, so when I have a question, I can always consult with him. I hope to continue the tradition of excelence that my father has delivered for over half a century.. Lastly, I am deeply committed to my City, New Haven. (I love Connecticut and all it’s towns and cities too but New Haven is my #1) I have lived here for 38 years and have no intention of ever leaving. Through the zoning work I do I want to shape the physical future of New Haven for the better. Particularly, I support responsible development without unnecessary oversight or interference by anyone or anything that shouldn’t get the opportunity to erect barriers in the way of someone trying to better this City. I support the vested rights of land owners and the logical extension of those deeply important rights; development, full use, minimal interference, and so much more.. I have learned that much of being good at a job, any job, is having the personal connections with all the people that influence the outcome of a matter.  At this point in my career, I think I have those relationships in place and have earned the trust from the people I interact with regularly. I aim to grow these relationships every time I meet someone new and I think it’s working. I have contact with true decision makers in government and politics and use those relationships to the benefit of my clients without apology. I maintain these relationships in a deeply honorable and appropriate way in full compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards. But I think my honesty and openness with those in “power” makes me a credible and believable partner and I expect the same honesty and integrity from my clients.
