About Liam
I grew up in the Berkshires surrounded by a family of dedicated teachers. In middle school, my mom, dad, aunt, and uncle were all teachers in the building. Talking myself out of trouble before one of my family members found out honed my negotiating skills and laid the early groundwork for my career as a lawyer. Later on, as a three-sport athlete in high school, and as a college soccer player, I learned firsthand that success was impossible without hard work and meticulous preparation. But I also learned that individual hard work and preparation were never enough. Working with, and being able to rely on, your teammates was the key. At Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie LLC, I’m surrounded by some of the best Family Law attorneys in Connecticut.
Before coming to this firm, I worked for almost 15 years in civil litigation, focusing on professional liability defense. While representing doctors and lawyers might seem significantly different from Family Law, they both require close attention to detail, strong litigation skills, and the empathy necessary to help clients manage a difficult, and often emotional, process. As a civil litigator, I successfully tried a number of cases to verdict. But like Family Law, most cases were resolved by way of settlement. Perhaps the most important thing I learned was how to leverage the best possible settlement based on the specific facts of the case.
