Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

I am William P. Burns, Jr., a family law, men's rights and fathers' rights attorney in Connecticut. I founded this family law firm in 2006 as an instrument of justice for men. Males have been treated poorly in family law matters for decades. This should not be the case. I work hard toward the fair resolution you deserve.

I chose men's rights as an area of my practice because I believe that men and woman should have equal rights in family law cases. My law offices work to protect your interests during discussions of divorce, parental relocation and child support.

I am proud of the experience I gained practicing law in larger law firms. But large law firms can be impersonal, causing a client to feel like a number, rather than a person. I am the kind of lawyer who communicates one-on-one with you, offering attentive personal service that gives you peace of mind.

I strive to protect the rights and interests of my clients and their families in all divorce cases involving child support, property division and alimony. I can also assist you with the careful creation of prenuptial agreements. If modifications or enforcements of orders are necessary after a divorce, I will handle them for you.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Father's Rights

Are you every bit as qualified to raise your children as your ex-wife, but worried you might not be treated fairly in establishing child custody? I will be your zealous advocate in working toward the creation of a custody agreement and/or visitation schedule that fits your lifestyle and the needs of your children. As your lawyer, I will help you consider what is best for your family and fully explain your legal options regarding legal and physical custody, as well as joint and sole custody. All of my clients receive personalized attention and direct access to me throughout their time of legal need with clear and consistent communication at all times.

- Divorce

Are you heading toward a divorce with reservations about being able to obtain a fair resolution due to the simple fact that you are a man? Do you fear an inequitable property distribution? Are you seeking proactive legal advice on establishing a prenuptial agreement? In family law cases involving divorce/dissolution of marriage, I help my clients establish a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts, including real estate, retirement accounts, pensions, time-shares, 401K accounts, and even pets. My law firm also provides aggressive representation in the establishment of alimony and palimony payments.

- Child Custody

Based in Naugatuck, Connecticut, my law firm is committed to furthering the best interests of my clients and their families. I will spend whatever time it takes to help establish child custody and/or a visitation schedule which enables you to remain an effective and caring father to your kids. I will also explain the differences between physical custody and legal custody, including joint and sole custody. As your lawyer, I will fight to ensure that you have your say in major decisions affecting your kids, including those involving education, religion, and health care, among others. At no time will you be uninformed and I will make sure you understand the consequences of any decisions you make.

- Pre-Nuptial Agreements

Divorce statistics are staggering. The percentage of couples getting divorced is even higher for second or third marriages. More and more couples are looking for asset protection by developing prenuptial agreements. Prenuptial agreements are designed to protect pre-marital assets, as well as real estate or business dealings that occurred during the marriage. I have strong background working with both sides to understand what each party brought to the marriage and how they expected their property to be shared during the marriage.

- Domestic Violence

Domestic violence allegations are often used as a weapon in emotionally-intense divorce disputes. Naturally, the court system is drawn to protect women and children from abuse, but this tendency has caused many people to make false or exaggerated spousal abuse allegations to gain assets and child custody rights. At The Law Offices of William P. Burns, Jr., I have represented many clients facing false or embellished domestic battery charges. This is a complicated area of the law, since police officers are often forced to make judgment calls when responding to allegations of domestic abuse.

- Equality for Men in Family Law

As a men's rights lawyer, I know what you are up against. I will set the record straight if your former spouse attempts to portray you as: an unfeeling, faithless husband; a successful but selfish provider; a remote father; someone in the grips of substance abuse; given to outbursts of domestic violence; and a business person who conceals financial details. These "he said, she said" disputes can become one-sided "she says" arguments. Meanwhile, you are kept on the defensive, reacting to half-truths and outright distortions.

- High Net Asset Protection

I see to it that men's rights and fathers' rights are protected in cases of: spousal support, pre-nuptial agreements, real estate, investigation of hidden assets, business valuation for small business owners, protection of your investments, custody and financial modifications and divorce arbitration and litigation. Don't trust this pivotal point in your life to just any attorney. My men's rights and fathers' rights law firm has the compassionate, aggressive legal representation you need at this difficult time.

- Property Division

Whether you are a corporate CEO or small business owner, I will work hard toward your goals in property division matters, protecting your investment in: your family residence, vacation and retirement homes, motor vehicles, luxury items, retirement accounts, pension funds, benefit plans, business valuations, securities, stocks and bonds, personal belongings and non-marital property and assets. The more complex your financial and legal affairs, the more you need an attorney with proven research and investigative skills, and a divorce litigation track record. These are legal services I provide every day at The Law Offices of William P. Burns, Jr.
