Divorce is one of the most stressful, complex, conflictual, and time-consuming experiences an individual can have. For those looking to increase calm, clarity, and confidence during this difficult time, I recommend working with the legal team at Broder, Orland, Murray & DeMattie LLC. After working with Ashley Albini and Eric Broder, I continue to be impressed with their balance of compassion and creative advocacy, which allowed them to pivot quickly, to address issues as they unfolded, and to provide options for conflict resolution. The responsiveness of Attorneys Albini and Broder allowed me to confidently discern the next step toward the dissolution of my marriage.

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I feel for having had Eric Broder and Sarah Murray advocate for me and my kids through my divorce. Their advice was always spot on and kept my kids and their long term needs at the forefront. They understand the legal, emotional, financial and personal implications of ending a marriage better than any one. My divorce was not an easy one (are they ever?) and they continually provided insight into ways to approach the financial, parenting and legal challenges so that they could be as streamlined as possible. For example, when my ex and I came up with a parenting plan that we thought was quite comprehensive and well thought out, they identified gaps and concerns related to ways things would change as the kids got older, something that we had failed to consider. This saved us time back in court and heartache and struggle as well. I think it's also really important to state that Sarah and Eric are just really good people to work with. They are ethical, thoughtful, kind, compassionate and responsive people. The divorce process can be so painful but working with them made the experience so much less so. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I found Attorney Sarah Murray's counsel to be based in extensive subject matter expertise, pragmatic and very thoughtful and her and the team's approach responsive and flexible. I'd highly recommend her as an excellent resource.

Nicole Digiose has been a true gift for me and my children. She is beyond a doubt the attorney you want on your side especially if it’s a high conflict situation. She is the first attorney who saw immediately what I was dealing with, acted accordingly and always in my best interest. She is understanding, calming, and incredibly effective through the process and in court. She is tough and formidable when needed, and highly intelligent. I can’t imagine surviving my ongoing high conflict situation without her as my attorney. Words really can’t express how appreciative my children and I are for her!!

I worked with Nicole DiGiose through the entire course of my difficult divorce. From the first moment, she was a rock star. Consummately professional, reasonable, smart, wiley and wise…she helped me win my case against a former spouse who was taking the low road. I can not say enough good things about her and the entire firm. I have recommended her to friends in similar situations. 1000% I recommend her.

Attorney Robb Vossler gave me prompt attention and excellent service in an incredibly important year-long post judgment custody case. It was exactly what I needed. He billed fairly and honestly. Robb showed deep knowledge and experience, and also had great resources from his firm to draw from. He cared about my situation and my kids and I'm very glad I chose him to represent me. I hope I don't ever need an attorney again. But if I do, Robb's my guy.

I worked with Sarah Murray and Sue Georgiades and found them to be knowledgeable, thoughtful, detailed, and balanced. They did a great job working with me, working with opposing counsel, and overall, I recommend them highly to anyone who finds themselves in this difficult process.

Attorney Nicole made a scary and tough situation not as overwhelming but rather she turned into a positive and uplifting experience. She was professional and personable, and made sure I clear on the topics and felt comfortable throughout the process. I could not thank her and the team enough or recommend them more often.

I could not have asked for a better experience working with Nicole DiGiose. Going though divorce is hard and Nicole was so helpful and knowledgeable, she guided me thought the process with ever bit of confidence. When it was finalized she over delivered her promises. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone that is in need of a attorney with in the family law sector.

Unfortunately my divorce case did go all the way to trial—something Chris DeMattie and Robert Vossler worked tirelessly to try to avoid on my behalf. Ours, was a tough relocation case. A terrifying first legal experience. It was my first time being deposed, first time enlisting a Guardian ad litem, first time testifying in front of a judge...and the stakes could not have been higher. Those are SCARY days, made so much more devastating by the emotional toll family transitions take. It's a heartbreaking time. But at EVERY stage, I felt informed, prepared, heard, prioritized, counseled, and safe. I simply do not understand how Chris and Robb devote this much of themselves to multiple cases at once. They were true partners in this! By the time we got to trial, Chris knew as much about my marriage as I did! If not more! He makes himself an EXPERT on your history, so he can best strategize on the fly, as things inevitably pop up. Chris is personable and supportive. Whip smart and strategic. Conservatively aggressive, measured beyond belief, and steady as a rock. I don't know if I would've survived this process without him.

This firm settled a very long standing issue without going to court. It was complex and they crossed all the “T’s” and dotted every “I”. They worked as a team (Carole, Ashley and Nicole) and were not only thorough but pleasant and helpful. I could not have asked for better representation!

Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie LLC is the most elite firm in Fairfield County and the greater region. Attorney Sue Georgiades managed our case, and was incredibly attentive and diligent. Her digital response time was immediate, and her explanations of the law were meticulous and thorough. Georgiades hit the mark at every turn of the road. It was clear from our family's Filing to the finish line, that she is motivated by the truth, and a standard of excellence in practicing law. Attorney Georgiades brought our immediate family closer together: Her comprehension that Settlement and Co-Parenting are indeed a family initiative--not an action of one individual. The pace and efficiency of her work is demonstrative of the immaculate reputation of the firm. She was committed to achieving results in a timely manner, while catering to our numerous questions about the short-term & long-term expectations of divorce and co-parenting. Our family couldn't have imagined a better team--it's clear Georgiades derives her success from an honest passion for her work--our family is forever grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Attorney Georgiades and the Broder Orland Murray & DeMattie firm.

I highly recommend the services of Nicole DiGiose, who was able to navigate me with grace through one of the more difficult times in my life. She was highly communicative, empathetic, and always made sure my expectations were kept in check. I’m extremely happy with every part of my experience with her.

I truly cannot say enough about attorney DiGiose and attorney Chirco. They not only walked me through a difficult time, but fought when I didn't think I had any fight left. Choosing this firm will be one of the best decisions you make. And they way they handled everything with such class was truly remarkable.

I have referred several friends and acquaintances to Eric Broder over the years, and literally every single one of them has been served exceedingly well by Mr. Broder. He is sharp, knowledgable, and effective -- you will get no better representation anywhere. What's exceptional about Mr. Broder, though, is his innate decency. He is calm and responsive, getting excellent results for his clients while maintaining respect for the dignitiy of everyone involved. I couldn't recommend Mr. Broder more heartily.

This firm was recommended to me by another prestigious CT law firm for divorce and family proceedings. In particular attorney Ms. Nicole DiGiose was recommended to me. I cannot speak highly enough of Ms. DiGiose or her firm. She was not only professional but also extremely knowledgable and an excellent litigator. Nicole also made the process as easy as possible and kept in communication with me throughout. She truly went above and beyond and I whole-heartedly recommend her and her firm for anyone dealing with family law matters! Broder Orland and in specific Attorney Nicole DiGiose are without compare in my experience.

I partnered with CT Family Law and specifically worked with Eric Broder & Nicole DiGiose. Both Eric & Nicole guided me through my legal situation and always advised me in the best interests of my children & I. Their hard work, professionalism and vast knowledge of the legal system moved us swiftly and efficiently and ultimately getting me to a resolution and closure. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless.

Nicole DeGiose was great for my case, very realistic in what the expectations were, and always letting me know how much the cost to argue would be vs the cost to settle. Office was very organized, both in person and at trial, though I feel for all the trees that were felled.

I went through an untypically difficult divorce process. Nicole DiGiose was my primary lawyer and worked in collaboration with Eric Broder. Both were exceptionally responsive, supportive and diligent every step of the way. Nicole, in particular, was ALWAYS buttoned up and responsive without fail. She took time to understand me and the complexities involved. As a result, I received sound and strategic advice which often entailed talking through option details. They were highly attentive to the time and corresponding costs and worked with me to insure efficient and effective choices were made. It was, personally, a difficult process but the quality of legal professionalism was delivered with a unique level or humanity and support. I recommend B&O in general and Nicole and Eric specifically for anyone who finds themselves faced with the arduous path of their divorce process.

I have nothing but boundless praise and admiration for Attorney Sarah Murray, who became my steadfast lifeline throughout a very dark, emotionally draining divorce. She is that rare unerring professional who makes you really wonder how on earth she does it. In all sincerity, she’s one of the sharpest, most competent people I have ever encountered in any field. My case was complicated in unusual ways and riddled with seemingly insurmountable obstacles. By dint of her tenacity, deft legal maneuvering, and sheer smarts, Sarah somehow got around them all to emerge with a landslide win. Her arguments were always artfully crafted, eloquently presented, and as close to bulletproof as they come. On top of having impossibly keen intuition and unassailable judgment, she is lightning quick on the uptake. She never missed a beat, not once. Her observant eye (the devil’s in the details, after all) came with an uncanny ability to absorb every last particular of my case and call up any given one at the exact right moment. She knows the law—and how to use it—to her core. If I had to sum up her style of lawyering, I would say it’s all bite, no bark. She has a no-nonsense way about her and a graceful, decorous demeanor that belies a true killer instinct. In court, she is totally unflappable and wields every tool in the legal arsenal with lethal poise and precision. Her closing argument at trial, the final distillation of hundreds of hours of tireless work on my behalf, gave me goosebumps and brought me to actual tears—not just because it so trenchantly cut to the heart of my case but because it was simply a transfixing show of how superhumanly good she is at what she does. She promised nothing but delivered everything. And by everything, I don’t only mean the legal victories, which were materially life-altering. I also mean a restoration of my sense of dignity, which had been eroded through an insidiously destructive marriage defined by extreme, unrelenting deceit that exhaustingly continued during the dissolution process. I probably would have given up if her staying power hadn’t rubbed off on me. She set things right by painting for the court a strikingly clear portrait of exactly what happened. The truth now stands on record. That, for me, is its own kind of justice. Sarah is my Belva Lockwood, and I could not recommend her more strongly, especially for wives who have found themselves on the short end of a power imbalance, financial or otherwise. Attorney Robert Vossler, who also put a tremendous amount of time, thought, and expertise into my case, was equally diligent and critical to the outcome. Among many other things, he was meticulous in combing through reams of discovery data and spotting red flags. If there is a needle in the proverbial haystack, he will find it. As a team, Robb and Sarah are a force to be reckoned with. There is nothing more they could have done to get me my fair shake, and I have no doubt that the end result would have been direly different had I gone with any other attorneys. I owe my future to them both. One last thing I will add about Sarah and Robb is that they gave me such attentive white-glove service the whole way through that it always felt like I was their only client, though I was far from their biggest (or easiest) one. They were adept at communicating the lay of the family law land and kept me looped in on all developments, no matter how small. At the same time, they were stringently efficient and conscientious when it came to their charging practices. This is not at all a firm that will indulge a client’s costly whims if they’re sure to lead nowhere. I genuinely got the sense that every single cent and minute spent went toward achieving a specific, carefully calculated objective.

Nicole guided me through the most difficult time of my life with the utmost professionalism. Her sound advice allowed me to arrive at a very successful deal for my divorce. Thank you, Nicole, for your patience and wisdom!

I used the services of Nicole M. DiGiose, Esq. for my Divorce and I must say Nicole has been a constant resource for legal information, process questions and more importantly she is highly available. She dealt with the case with empathy, compassion and understanding that is far beyond you expect from a typical lawyer. She always answered my questions promptly no matter its a weekend or holiday, she is knowledgeable and has most of the answers on her fingertips so that saves you money when compared to someone who needs to do research to get back to you. During our settlement discussions she worked diligently and always advised me about my options, but at the same time made decisions independently when it came to protecting me legally. I would recommend her services to any one. There is no good time to go through a divorce in your life, but if you must, having a lawyer like Nicole on your side makes the process more tolerable and gives you confidence and clarity in the most uncertain time of your life.

Working with Eric Broder was a game-changer during my divorce process. Their expertise, empathy, and dedication helped navigate the complexities with ease. They were always available to answer questions and provided clear guidance every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate during such a challenging time. Highly recommend.

My divorce took approximately 18 months from filing to finalization. During that time I worked with several attorneys from Broder Orland, with Carole Orland in mainly an oversight role. My most positive and productive experience was when working directly with Sue Georgiades, who came in after we filed and was with me until the end. Sue listened to my concerns and provided alternatives with guidance, but reminded me that the decision how to proceed was mine. I never felt patronized or railroaded when we collaborated. As a stay at home mom who had not worked for many years, the decision to divorce was daunting and I was anxious much of the time, mostly about finances. Sue kept me focused and displayed a great deal of compassion and encouragement. I'm very satisfied with my settlement and that I experienced a sense of agency in the process. I appreciate that my experience was guided by two strong and clear eyed women who provided me with the resources to find peace and security on the other side.
