In addition, our attorneys have served in a full-time, in-house capacity for major corporations on short and long-term bases, as needed.

In the dissolution of a marriage, a number of issues need to be resolved in an environment that is often stressful. At Rome McGuigan, our family law attorneys are selected both for their experience and for their temperament.
- High Asset Divorce
The divorce process can be overwhelming and confusing, especially if it involves significant assets and/or income. We have extensive experience dealing with high profile, celebrity, high asset and complex divorce cases, including those involving marital estates worth several hundreds of millions of dollars. Our firm understands the unique issues that often accompany these cases and can actively work to find a resolution that suits your needs.
- Divorce Litigation
Although we at the law firm of Rome McGuigan are committed to the resolution of divorce cases in a nonadversarial manner, through collaboration and mediation, there are matters that require litigation, especially where one spouse may lack the information necessary to make informed decisions about the future. In that event, we are prepared to work within the court system to protect our clients' interests. At the outset of a case, it is often necessary to go to court to obtain temporary alimony and child support, or to determine the residence of a spouse and the children.
- Collaboration Mediation
Divorce and other family law matters do not have to be accomplished in an adversarial environment. At Rome McGuigan, P.C., our family law attorneys have substantial experience in collaboration and mediation. These methods of dispute resolution have a number of advantages over litigation.
- Child Support
After a divorce, circumstances for either party can change. These changes may trigger a need to modify court orders regarding alimony and child support. If you are the person receiving or the person paying, if you need a change in the order, talk to one of our lawyer experienced with court modifications.
- Child Custody
Whether through cause or because of misunderstandings, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) often becomes involved in issues concerned with child custody. The DCF's concern is the safety, health and well-being of children. At Rome McGuigan, P.C., we urge concerned parents and relatives to discuss the situation with our experienced attorney.

The Appellate Unit of our Litigation Department is dedicated to providing high-level legal analysis and innovative arguments in both prosecuting and defending appeals. We understand that successful appellate advocacy requires keen, analytical minds, persuasive writing, and effective oratory. Our attorneys focus all of these skills and their extensive appellate experience in developing individual appellate strategies that meet the particular demands of each unique case.
- Civil & Family Appellate
Arguing an appeal requires more than a command of legal precedents. The advocate must have an in-depth understanding of procedural, philosophical and policy concerns of our state appellate courts, all of which are crucial to judicial decision-making. The attorneys in our Appellate Unit bring varied perspective to their understanding of those concerns. The practice group is chaired by Anne C. Dranginis, a former Judge of the Connecticut Appellate and Superior Courts, and includes experienced appellate advocates, former appellate prosecutors, and former clerks of both the Supreme and Appellate Courts. This group understands what is required to present effectively a client's position and formulate a compelling argument to appellate jurists.

Rome McGuigan's Criminal Appellate Practice Group provides representation to parties involved in the criminal justice system. The group represents defendants in interlocutory appeals during trial and provides those convicted of crimes with a second chance by reviewing the record of the underlying trial for potential infringements of constitutional, statutory, and procedural rights. The group also represents crime victims at the trial and appellate levels who seek to have their rights protected during the course of a criminal trial.

Traditional litigation is an expensive and time consuming process. Parties now look for an alternative to litigating in state or federal court, and choose Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The attorneys at Rome McGuigan have extensive experience in all areas of ADR, including the separate areas of mediation, collaborative law, and arbitration, representation of clients in ADR proceedings, as well as offering professional services as a neutral mediator or arbitrator, or as a private judge of matrimonial cases. Because of our success in making the complex simple and the time-consuming process streamlined, we have been repeatedly called upon by clients and fellow lawyers to assist them in navigating through the process.
