Experience

Robert A. Fried serves as Of Counsel to Kennedy Luce LLC and has been practicing law since 1972. A seasoned litigator with decades of experience in family law, he has devoted the majority of his career to representing clients in custody, alimony, support, and property disputes. His steady judgment and practical approach have made him a trusted advocate for individuals navigating some of life’s most challenging transitions.

In the 1980s, Attorney Fried expanded his practice to include mediation, offering clients an alternative path to resolving family matters outside the courtroom. His commitment to constructive, client‑centered solutions later led him to Collaborative Law, where he has undergone extensive training and developed a respected reputation as a collaborative attorney.

Attorney Fried has been an active member of the Connecticut Bar Association’s Family Law Section since 1974 and has served on its Executive Committee for the past eight years. He has also served as a Special Master in Hartford and Middletown since the program’s inception in 1986, assisting in resolving contested divorce matters through court‑arranged pretrial conferences.

Throughout his career, Attorney Fried has lectured on a wide range of family law topics to attorneys, mental health professionals, and members of the public seeking guidance on divorce and related issues. He has also been selected as an instructor for family law software used to calculate child support guidelines and provide tax‑related insights for practitioners.
