Ever feel like your lawyer’s working for the other side? You might be right. Most fail to prepare, fold under pressure, and push bad settlements to avoid trial. Not here. If you're divorcing a narcissist and your attorney's in over their head, call us. Trial subs are what we do best. We'll clean up the mess and shift the momentum. Your days of getting pushed around are over.
Fault Matters
In Connecticut, fault matters—especially when the stakes are high. In custody battles and high-net-worth divorces, even subtle shifts in blame can reshape the entire outcome. That’s why the lawyer you choose matters. When fault is in play, you need an elite litigator who knows how to expose it, defend against it, and turn it into leverage. No one does it better.

Relentless. Tactical. Unmatched.
No Fear
The Shark
Fear is Good
Sirius Zelotes isn’t your typical family lawyer — he’s a battle-tested litigator built for high-conflict warfare. A Marine Corps veteran with a reputation for walking away from weak deals, he excels in high-net-worth divorces, custody fights against toxic personalities, and stepping in when other lawyers tap out. Clients don’t come to him when things are calm — they come when it’s chaos. When the case is spiraling. When trial is imminent. That’s his zone. When your future’s on the line, you don’t need a counselor — you need a closer. Built for battle. Marine Corps tough.

01
The Power of Intimidation
In family court, intimidation isn’t about theatrics — it’s about credibility. When opposing counsel knows they’re outmatched, they scramble to avoid trial. The Shark's reputation as one of Connecticut’s top trial lawyers puts pressure on the other side fast. No one wants to get humiliated in front of their client — so they fold. And when they do, the deal tilts in your favor.
02
the secret to mediation
The secret to winning in divorce mediation? It’s not empathy. It’s leverage. Forget the academic fluff about “getting to yes.” Mediation favors the party who’s ready for trial — and isn’t afraid to say take it or leave it. It takes preparation, confidence, and guts to drive a hard bargain. The side with real leverage wins. Every time.

Welcome to the Corps
If you’re spiraling, I won’t coddle you — I’ll slap you back to reality. This isn’t therapy - it’s war. And if you’re about to sabotage your case, I’ll stop you cold. I don’t care if it hurts your feelings — I care if you win. I’ll snap you out of your emotions and get your head back in the fight. You hired a closer, not a cheerleader. Tough love wins cases. Let's do this.

Clients don’t just hire The Shark—they win with him, and their stories speak for themselves.
When everything was on the line, they called The Shark. These are the words of those who were in the fight — and came out on top with The Shark by their side. Here’s what they had to say after the dust settled.
Everyone who observed him was in awe.
Attorney Zelotes was an extraordinary advocate. He prepared like no other and performed brilliantly, showcasing unconventional trail strategies that wowed the judges and even the “Barracuda” representing my ex-husband. While waiting outside the courtroom, I was approached on more than one occasion with observations about my attorney and his remarkable courtroom manner. Everyone who observed him was in awe.
