I met with Ms. Connolly to discuss several issues. During that meeting, I felt I was being interrogated and belittled because I was still ""green"" to the legal system. I felt as if I were a criminal because I didn't want anything to do with the police or the courts, though I was being pushed in that direction by the ex-husband. Ms. Connolly made me feel like the $100 consultation was a waste of time and money on both our parts. I was already battered by the ex and the system and needed a lawyer who understood and could possibly empathize with that situation. Ms. Connolly apparently was not able to understand this delicate and, at the time, emotional situation. She might be good in court, but she is definitely hard on her clients who are also looking for good support during trying times.

Cons: don't look for empathy with this atty
