At The Law Offices of Peter D Herger, we deliver compassionate, efficient, and highly strategic representation to clients in Danbury, Ridgefield, and across Fairfield County, as well as several counties in New York. Founded by Attorney Peter D. Herger-a child of divorce himself-our firm understands the unique emotional and practical challenges our clients face. If you need to find a divorce lawyer who combines seasoned legal intellect with genuine empathy, our practice is designed to help you find your way forward.

Guided Divorce Mediation and Collaborative Resolution

We firmly believe that families thrive when they can resolve their disputes outside the adversarial courtroom. As an active member of the Connecticut Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce, Attorney Herger specializes in divorce mediation. We guide couples through structured discussions to reach mutually agreeable solutions. By choosing mediation, you avoid the heavy financial and emotional toll of family court while maintaining control over your property, schedules, and assets.

Compassionate Advocacy for Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Protecting your relationship with your children is our highest priority. To hire a family law attorney who understands the sensitive nature of parenting time is vital for long-term stability. We assist parents with all aspects of child custody and child support, working to draft detailed, enforceable parenting plans that prevent future disputes. We provide guidance on:

• Joint and sole legal and physical custody arrangements
• Mediation of parenting schedules and holiday rotations
• Accurate child support determinations and post-judgment modifications
• Addressing mental health and communication issues during custody transitions

Whether protecting your assets in a contentious property division or appealing an unfavorable trial decision, we provide the rigorous, detail-oriented advocacy needed to achieve a fair outcome. Our appellate practice ensures that errors made in prior court hearings can be formally corrected.
