For over thirty years, I have dedicated my Fairfield law practice to the people who need the services of the probate court, often at times of personal or family crisis. I began my probate practice after graduating from Boston College and UCONN Law School. With care and compassion, I handle the complex legal issues that come before the probate court. I have held leadership positions on the boards of Fairfield Foundation for Education, Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging and Mercy Learning Center. I would be honored to serve Fairfield as Probate Judge. Learn more at kathyforfairfield.com.
