Navigating the guardianship process can be complex and overwhelming, especially when it involves your loved ones. At Hirsch Legal, LLC, we believe that informed clients make the best decisions. Here, we address some common questions and concerns about guardianship to help you feel more confident in your choices.
What is Guardianship?
Guardianship is a legal relationship where a court appoints an individual to make decisions on behalf of another person who is unable to do so due to age, incapacity, or disability. This can include decisions related to health care, finances, and daily living activities.
Who Can Be a Guardian?
Any responsible adult can be appointed as a guardian, but it’s essential to choose someone who understands the responsibilities involved and has the best interests of the ward at heart. Our team can guide you in selecting the right guardian for your situation.
How Long Does the Guardianship Process Take?
The timeline for establishing guardianship varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. Generally, the process can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. We strive to make this process as efficient as possible for our clients.

Savoir-Faire
Attorney Carmina (Tessitore) Hirsch, has consistently been recognized by her peers as one of Connecticut’s leading attorneys in divorce and family law. As an officer of the Court she recognizes that one of her primary responsibilities is to protect the safety and well-being of children whose fates are being adjudicated. If the evidence is overwhelming that a parent presents a danger to his or her child, the path for the Court is clear; if, on the other hand, there is reason to believe that her client is being unfairly maligned or dispossessed of parental rights, she will advocate to reach a fair and equitable settlement in her client’s favor, and or take the matter to trial if settlement is not an option. Carmina has represented scores of parents in navigating through an investigation by a guardian ad litem, negotiating settlements in line with the guardian's recommendations, and representing her client's interests at a hearing or trial.
You may have a crystal-clear conscience with regard to your fitness and suitability as a parent, but a hard-charging spouse backed by an aggressive legal team may create a narrative that is not in line with reality, making the process difficult for you if you are self-represented. If your children are important to you, the best move you can make is to hire a top-notch legal advocate to represent your interests. “Super Lawyer” Carmina (Tessitore) Hirsch and her team have the experience and the savoir-faire necessary to present your case effectively to both a guardian ad litem and judge.
