About Laurie Denigris
I have almost 40 years of experience as a family law attorney and have been an active mediator and collaborative attorney for over 30 years. I devote my practice to all areas of family law, including, divorce, legal separation, child custody, and prenuptial agreements. During the first half of my time in practice, I saw first-hand the costly (both financial and emotional), disadvantages to traditional divorce litigation. It was important to me to work toward bringing civility back to the legal profession. This led me to focus my practice on mediation and collaborative law and to be deeply committed to respectful and goal oriented/interest based negotiations. I repeatedly see the positive results of a mediated or collaborative divorce versus the negative ones in the litigated divorce, reminding me of the benefits to the spouses and children that mediation and collaboration provides. Recognizing that some cases do require a litigated approach, I provide litigation support to those who are self-represented and I still accept litigation cases on a case-by case basis. I volunteer as a Special Master for Matrimonial Matters in Hartford, New Britain, and Middletown courts as well as the Regional Custody Trial Docket in Middletown. I am a founding member and chair of the Central Connecticut Collaborative Family Law Group and founding member of the Collaborative Divorce Lawyers Association; member of The Collaborative Divorce Team of CT and Connecticut Collaborative Connection. I am also a member the International Academy of Collaborative Practitioners, and member of the CT Council for Non-adversarial Divorce. I served as an instructor for The People’s Law School, presented at numerous seminars for the National Business Institute and CT Bar, and am a life-time James Cooper Fellow of the Connecticut Bar Foundation. I served on the Best Practices Committee for the CT Council of Non-adversarial Divorce. I am also a Connecticut Super Lawyer. On a personal note, I live with my husband of 37 years. I have two daughters, one son-in-law, and a dog named Brady. I enjoy the beach, NFL Football, College basketball, and a good cup of coffee.
