  Atty Cate Craig has been wonderful throughout my recent Estate Planning as well as the probate process for my late husband.  I have found everyone at RWC to be exceptionally patient, attentive and understanding of my needs. I highly recommend RWC for any matters requiring legal counsel.

  We researched first before choosing RWC attorneys to work with us on our new Trust account.  We felt very comfortable choosing Cate Craig as our attorney.   Cate was very understanding of our needs and direction-  explaining legalities to us that were new to us.  After reading the draft of the Trust we returned for the signing and again were very impressed of Cate’s knowledge as well as the RWC’s professionalism.  We live in Southbury but we didn’t mind the drive to Middletown.  We were more than happy with all the RWC staff and especially Cate.  Thank you RWC attorneys!

  We had the pleasure of working with Attorney Catherine Craig for our estate planning. Attorney Craig could not have made the process any easier. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient and took the time to go over every option and answer all of our questions. We are grateful for her expertise and guidance throughout this process.

Attorney Craig’s knowledge, guidance and accommodations to our questions put us at ease through the whole process of writing our will and trust. We recommend their services without hesitation and will continue to use RWC for our needs.

  I appreciated working with an all female law firm. Att. Baccaro was excellent! She provided excellent estste planning education and information and answered all my questions and concerns.  I felt at ease and was very satisfied with what she and her team produced. I'm relieved that my estate plans are in place and feel a sense of peace and confidence.
