Having practiced law in the New Haven area since 1981, Bruce Peabody's practice focuses on residential real estate transactions.

 

"I work hand-in-hand with you and educate you so that you can make the legal decisions required for your residential real estate transactions in an informed way. I do house closings in an old-fashioned way; I do all the work myself so you are always dealing with your attorney."
