Firm Information
Overview
We are Needle | Cuda, a boutique family law firm headquartered in Westport, Connecticut, with a branch office in Brewster, New York. From the moment you reach out, we appreciate that you may be facing one of life’s most challenging transitions. To ease your concerns, our attorneys maintain a “high touch” approach: we limit our caseload so that each client receives individualized attention and feels heard at every stage. Whether you join us in our welcoming Westport office or connect remotely, you can expect thoughtful dialogue, candid guidance and a clear roadmap for moving forward.
We concentrate exclusively on divorce and family law, ensuring we remain current on evolving case law, statutory changes and procedural nuances. In divorce matters, we guide you through three core components – child custody (legal and physical), equitable division of assets, and spousal and child support – while addressing the complexities of high net worth estates, retirement and business interests, inherited wealth and novel valuation challenges.
Beyond divorce, our services encompass prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, legal separation, protective orders, paternity actions, relocation petitions and post-judgment modifications. When negotiation cannot resolve a dispute, we draw upon decades of courtroom experience to pursue litigation or appeals that protect your rights. Yet in many cases, mediation or arbitration offers an efficient alternative, and we will recommend the process best suited to your goals.
Our team has built a reputation for excellence in both litigation and negotiation. Colleagues in the Fairfield County Bar Association recognize us as tenacious yet principled advocates. We pride ourselves on being responsive – returning calls and emails promptly, anticipating potential issues, and keeping you informed of developments.
Attention to detail is at the heart of our practice. By thoroughly evaluating your family’s unique circumstances and, when necessary, consulting trusted financial, psychological or valuation experts, we craft strategies designed to achieve durable, cost-effective resolutions. To learn how our combination of personalized service and deep knowledge can serve your family during this critical time, please contact us to schedule a confidential consultation.
