About Laura S.
Laura S. Mitler has spent decades in Connecticut’s legal circles. She studied law in Massachusetts and completed her J.D. in 1988 at Western New England University School of Law. The degree set a course that has kept her active in local bar associations and municipal service for many years.
Early in her career Mitler entered the networks that often shape practice in smaller jurisdictions. She joined both the New Haven County Bar Association and the Connecticut Bar Association in 1991, taking part in their Family Law sections. In the mid-2000s she stepped into association leadership closer to home, serving as president of the West Haven Bar Association from 2006 to 2008. Those roles put her in regular contact with judges, clerks and fellow attorneys handling domestic relations matters across the region.
Outside of association work, Mitler has taken on civic duties. Since 2005 she has served as a Justice of the Peace in the Town of Woodbridge. That position involves routine municipal responsibilities and community-facing duties that keep her engaged with local government and residents.
Her practice has long been shaped by family law issues. She handles divorce cases, child custody and support matters, and related disputes that arise when families separate. Colleagues describe her as steady in proceedings and attentive to procedural detail. She has remained connected to peers who practice family law through section memberships that date back to the early 1990s.
Mitler operates under the name Laura S. Mitler, LLC. The firm provides representation in domestic relations and family court matters in Connecticut. Her approach is practical. She prepares for hearings, manages settlement negotiations and represents clients in courtroom settings when cases do not settle.
Clients and other lawyers are most likely to encounter Mitler through court calendars, bar events or local municipal meetings. Over the years she has built a practice that intersects private representation and public service. She currently practices family law at Laura S. Mitler, LLC, and continues to serve as a Justice of the Peace in Woodbridge, Connecticut, focusing her practice on family law matters.
