Dear Mr. Broder & Ms. Orland:
Just wanted to pass along a compliment to both of you for the assignment of Chris DeMattie to my case. He recently oversaw the last part of the settlement which included a tax payment from my ex who had moved to South Carolina. Professionally and thoroughly he pursued this important bit of the financial puzzle…..
Over the course of the months of the original litigation and the brief period we were in court in Stamford, Chris was always there explaining the process and what I needed to bring to the party……He was pretty unflappable and was always there reminding me emotion did not have much of place in all this and to think with your practical side to get to the end of the process in the best possible shape. Not sure how much of the psychological part goes along with the job, but he has that in his toolkit.
Wanted to let you know using a sports cliché, you have a player on your team.

“Eric: You’re a top notch attorney – Thank you for all your efforts on my behalf”
From a Former Client
Dear Eric…I am very grateful to you. I am impressed with you and appreciate your expertise throughout a process I had no real prior experience with…I know that you both got the best deal for me that probably I could hope to get. I can’t thank you enough…I look forward to recommending you as I have all along this process-you are a total gentleman attorney. I chose you because I feel you are kind and care about ethics in these situations…
From a Former Client
Carole…I thank you with all of my heart for your professional work on my behalf. I know that I could not have been better served. Thank you for taking me on as your client. My future is much brighter than I could ever have imagined it would be…
From a Former Client
Dear Eric and Sarah,
Wanted to thank you both for all of your help, support, patience, sensitivity and time thus far. Eric was super prepared and did a phenomenal job today- both in terms of negotiating well for me in the Parenting Plan, as well as keeping [my spouse] in his place and taking the lead. And of course, Sarah was key in getting Eric updated for today’s meeting, has made herself very available to go over every little detail to ease my anxiety…and has been extremely instrumental in allowing our progress to date to get to this point today!
…at least if I have one thing to be grateful for (aside from my health and my kids), it’s that even in this utmost vulnerable and scary situation, I feel confident that I’m being represented by the best! …Should the need arise, I would definitely highly recommend both of you, as well as your firm (please thank Stephanie, too… know it truly takes a village, and without her meticulous notes and organization, we would not get very far!)…I can feel proud of how it’s been handled, and at peace that I am truly in great hands.
… I also wanted to let you know with words how amazing, professional, helpful and “gentle-yet-assertive” your whole team has been to me…

Dear Carole,
I am just getting home after the day of mediation with you…You have both been so unbelievably kind, patient, caring and honestly had my best interest…I cannot express my gratitude enough, and the amount of respect I have for all of you to be able to do this each day.
Everyone worked together to make an awful situation into something we could all walk away with and be able to sleep at night knowing it is fair and just.
Carole, I feel as though I have known you forever, so I thank you again, and know that you honestly had my back even when I didn’t have the courage to stand alone. I left your office today thinking that I spent the day with two unbelievably smart, confident and more importantly strong attorneys that understand the value of a woman that chooses to stay home and raise her children. So I thank you for reinforcing that to me…
From a Former Client
You are winners in my eyes…This process has been painful, but you have made it much less so…
From the start, I knew we did not stand a good chance, but I had to try and you were mighty in your efforts. You are gallant fighters. Keep at it.
If I had to recommend lawyers, you top the list. Smart, savvy, and kind. You have more than my vote. You have my gratitude.
I still see the look of concern on Carole’s face as I first met with her to share my story. I treasure the encouragement Stacy gave me as she looked at the paperwork I had collected…The paperwork you all produced! What a job. Carole’s presence at the courthouse and look when I handed her the jury summons. Even Emily at the front desk who generously laughed at my jokes when I showed up hauling a suitcase of paper…those little things mean a lot. You are fine women I am proud to have known.
I will owe you my gratitude forever.
From a Former Client
Chris…I want you to know that you did a great job handling my case. Getting divorced is a confusing and stressful process. I always felt comfortable that my situation was being managed well by you. There was so much going on and it was all new to me and you were always there with the right answers.
At the end I feel that I did better than I expected, which is a wonderful feeling. I’m happily divorced now and my kids are doing great. We all thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness.
From a Former Client
Eric,
You’re not only very good at what you do, you’re kind and easy to work with. I knew from the minute I met you, we’d be a great match! You were always able to calm me down and make me feel protected.
From a Former Client
Eric & Chris,
I just wanted to thank you for looking out for my best interest during my divorce. It’s been almost 3 years and in a week my ex-husband will be unemployed. At the time of the divorce I wanted and thought I deserved alimony-I really couldn’t think 3 years down the road. I am forever grateful to you both for looking out for my best interest. So thank you!
From a Former Client
I hired Carole Orland and her associate Chris DeMattie in May 2016 to represent me in a hotly contested custody of minors and personal asset divorce. Carole and Chris worked extremely well together and were always available to address my concerns and questions 7 days a week virtually 24 hours a day. Carole’s vast experience addressing the bench, knowledge and experience of statues and interpretations, focus, energy and determination proved vital in my representation. I never found myself frustrated with Carole and her team. My frustrations were in the court process, subjective latitude of the Bench, and Family Services. Carole and her team conducted themselves in a highly professional matter at all times. They were always prepared in Court and were able to think on their feet and offered sound helpful advice in my divorce case. They were instrumental in the mediation process and my case was settled out of court which amazes me to this day! I feel fortunate to have had such talented representation in my divorce proceedings and I would highly recommend Carole and her associates to anyone who asks my advice.
