Firm Overview

Serving Greater Danbury Businesses, Families and Individuals Since 1963

At Collins, Hannafin, we combine focused experience in specific legal disciplines with a collegial and collaborative practice atmosphere. By considering your situation from different perspectives, we can develop and present effective solutions to a wide range of legal problems for clients with varying needs. For additional information, contact one of our lawyers in Danbury or Ridgefield.

Bearing in mind that many matters are resolved with the help of attorneys and support staff across practice group lines, our firm's work is organized in five substantive practice areas:

• Litigation
• Real estate and land use
• Corporate and commercial law
• Tax planning for businesses and individuals
• Wills, trusts, and probate

In a complex divorce case, for example, your Collins, Hannafin family law attorney might work with one of our business lawyers on asset valuation issues or with a tax lawyer to minimize your liability under a property division agreement. After your divorce is final, you might wish to consult with one of our estate planning attorneys to revise your will and draft or revise trust instruments to reflect your new circumstances. Our objective is to coordinate each attorney's experience and strengths so that we can provide comprehensive service for every client.

For business and corporate clients, our integrated approach to client service has resulted in longstanding general counsel relationships with many companies that go back 25 years or longer. For larger corporations, our focused experience in such areas as employment law, land use and zoning, banking and commercial transactions, and condominium law can make us the right choice on particular projects or litigation problems.

Founded in 1963 as Cutsumpas & Collins, our firm has grown to its present size in stages. We adopted our present name in 1998 when founding partner Lloyd Cutsumpas became a Superior Court Judge, and have received an AV rating* under Martindale Hubbell's peer review rating system. We emphasize quality service, accessibility, and a friendly atmosphere for every client, whether you're a national bank, a construction startup, or an individual with a workplace accident claim.
