About Me

After years of advocating for clients in the courtroom as a trial lawyer, I’m thrilled to share that I recently completed training as a divorce coach which will enable me to continue helping families navigate divorce with clarity, compassion, and confidence in a different way.

As a divorce coach, I now work directly with individuals and families to provide guidance, emotional support, and strategic planning throughout the divorce process. My goal is to empower clients to make informed decisions, reduce conflict, and build a foundation for a healthier future.

This transition reflects my deep commitment to helping people move forward with dignity and strength. Whether you're contemplating divorce, in the midst of it, or rebuilding afterward, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued trust and encouragement. I’m excited to begin this new journey and make a meaningful difference in the lives of families.

Background as a Litigator and Advocate:  

Ms. Russo's love of the courtroom started during her second year of law school as part of the clinical trial program and, the week before her law school graduation, she argued her first appeal to the Connecticut Appellate Court.  She has dedicated her career to the courtroom and that, in turn, has made her an effective family lawyer because she understands the costs -- both financial and emotional -- of taking a case to trial and the risks that come with it.  

Ms. Russo knows that her clients do not come to the decision to separate lightly and, when the decision is not mutual, come to her office with a great deal of pain.  She draws on her own experience as the child of divorced parents who, in time, remarried wonderful people who have been an integral part of her life as supportive stepparents.  

Ms. Russo lives in Orange with her husband Greg and their three children. 

Ms. Russo is a member of the Milford Bar Association and, in addition to speaking at seminars focused on trial preparation and presentation, served as a past adjunct professor for first-year law students at the University of Connecticut School of Law.
