About Regina M. Wexler, Esq.

reginawexler-5A life-long resident of Litchfield County, Connecticut, I have thirty-one years of experience in assisting families through difficult and complex restructuring, both in family court and probate court.  I protect the rights of children in family cases as a Guardian ad Litem, and urge my clients to put the needs of their children in the forefront of any divorce negotiations or litigation.

Community Service.   I believe strongly in committing many hours each month to representing those who are less fortunate and unable to afford an experienced attorney on their own.  I have accepted court appointments and private referrals to represent children, disabled veterans, and both male and female victims of domestic abuse in area courts. I am also a volunteer lecturer through the area Adult and Continuing Education program, and a volunteer mediator for the Children’s Law Center of Connecticut.
