Background

About Denise Mortati

I specialize in Estate Planning, Probate, and Elder Law, primarily in Fairfield and New Haven Counties. I chose these practice areas because I love to help people. It’s a personal kind of law that requires legal expertise and professional sensitivity from the attorney. I am committed to my clients and work collaboratively with them and their families. I provide my clients with a personalized plan of action that lays out future steps in an uncomplicated manner. I can do more for my clients as a solo practitioner than an attorney working for a larger firm. I have the freedom to make house calls, which helps me assess client needs and meet family members in a comfortable, unintimidating place. I keep my clients’ costs down by addressing their needs in a timely manner, returning their telephone calls and e-mails punctually and personally, meeting all deadlines. This benefits my clients without compromising my quality of service. Prior to pursuing my dream of becoming an attorney, I ran a successful client-focused business. I spent those years diligently practicing how to put myself in other peoples’ shoes to truly understand their needs. I learned the importance of listening to my clients and fulfilling their requests, doing so with integrity and professionalism. I know being a caregiver for a family member is extremely stressful. I’ve been there a few times myself with immediate family members. And I can assure you that not only do I empathize with my clients, I know how to make the process less stressful for them.
