"Hiring Jenna DeMartino (Juris #441922) was, regrettably, one of the most disappointing decisions I’ve made in seeking legal representation. I felt profoundly let down by her handling of my family law case. Although Ms. DeMartino initially appeared caring and competent, my experience revealed what I believe was a troubling lack of understanding regarding family law and the constitutional rights afforded to me—particularly under the 14th Amendment. At several critical junctures, I felt misrepresented and unsupported. In my opinion, Ms. DeMartino failed to uphold the ethical and professional standards that are expected within the legal profession. I strongly urge others to seek alternative legal counsel, especially when dealing with sensitive, high-stakes matters such as family law."

"Going through divorce is an existentially stressful process, including facing significant financial risk until, if and when, a settlement is achieved. One can feel brutalized and overwhelmed by the process. I am not exaggerating to say I might not have got through the process - and successfully so - without my lawyer, Kevin Brown of the law firm: Needle | Cuda. In order to mentally handle the divorce process, you need to be able to TRUST your lawyer. Not only did I grow to trust Kevin, but he prepared me mentally and emotionally for each stage of the process. More importantly, while the process feels impersonal, Kevin fought for and was in complete alignment with with my specifically enumerated goals. I came to learn that Stamford Superior Court is known as a "money-punishing" Court. Kevin navigated me to a more than fair outcome, including ring-fencing a portion of my assets from the settlement - which is a challenge under CT law. Quite simply I will be forever grateful to Kevin Brown. The Needle | Cuda Team does all its work with excellence."

"I had the pleasure of working with Alex Cuda and his staff, and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the very first call, to meeting with Alex in person, I felt I was in capable hands. Alex and his team were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. Alex took the time to listen to my concerns and fought for my interests every step of the way. His experience and knowledge in family law were evident as he handled my case with efficiency and care. One of the things I appreciated most was how well he communicated. His emails to opposing counsel were clear, concise, and impeccably written, which minimized unnecessary back-and-forth. I always felt confident that Alex was prioritizing what was most important to me. He’s a lawyer who doesn’t waste your time or resources, and I’m grateful for the outcome he achieved for me. I highly recommend Alex Cuda for anyone seeking legal representation in family law."
