In this episode of Lawyers Who Care, host Andrew Samalin sits down with Justin Contratto, partner at Rutkin, Oldham & Griffin in Westport, Connecticut. Justin’s career spans from advocating for abused and neglected children at the Legal Aid Society to representing ultra-high-net-worth individuals in complex family law matters.
Justin shares how, despite the vastly different financial circumstances of his clients over the years, the core challenges often remain the same—vulnerability, mistrust of the court system, and the emotional toll of life-changing legal battles. He discusses the parallels between helping a child find safety and guiding a divorcing spouse toward autonomy, agency, and a renewed sense of self.
Whether you’re a lawyer, a client, or someone interested in the human side of the legal system, Justin’s journey offers powerful insights into resilience, advocacy, and transformation.
