Kenneth Caisse sees his role as leveling the playing field. Often, he says, he steps into divorce cases where one spouse is represented by a lawyer—or an entire legal team—and another spouse cannot afford legal representation.
If it weren’t for pro bono lawyers, the self-represented party might “bumble or stumble along in the process or perhaps be taken advantage of by the spouse or how the system operates. … [That] spouse is going to be at a disadvantage,” said Caisse, a partner at Loudon Caisse Hainey, which has offices in Hartford and Norwich.
