We need to get this case publicized ASAP...this is one of the sickest situations we have come across in Fairfield County in long time- but it is hidden under "dog park" and other issues of concern.
We are talking about a situation here where a local, "respected" attorney- Paul H Burnham of Darien- basically destroyed/attempted to destroy- a 55 year old woman who had just lost both of her parents abruptly. At the same time, he attempted to eliminate the son to gain the assets left to both mother and son.
The attorney also sought to discredit the son who came from PA to assist his Mom. Also tried to have him arrested at one point. Admitted that the grandfather was not competent when he signed his final will due to kidney failure. Conned the late Mr and Mrs Richard Colwell of 10 Possum lane into believing he would act in their daughter's best interest.
The attorney knew that the Colwells wanted their daughter Nancy to inherit the home, and Nancy had many discussions with her parents about how best to maintain the home and yard. She had no intention of selling the home.
The attorney preyed on her and her son when both were in mourning over the sudden loss of Rit and Jean Colwell. Mother witnessed both deaths.
The attorney knew that the mother and son did NOT want to sell, but he blew them off and picked out early in advance of the grandfather's death- the individuals he wanted to buy the home. He tried to divide and conquer mother and son, and he stressed that they would not fit in "socially" in this area.
The attorney lied to the "buyers" attorney, stating that the mother and her son were recalcitrant tenants, not heirs. When the mother and son contacted the buyers attorney and told him the truth, HE PULLED OUT OF THE CASE.
The attorney threatened the mother and son late at night, with slurred words. He deprived them of a vehicle. He had them both stalked.
