I pride myself on providing high level legal service comparable to a larger firm while maintaining the intimate client connection. My goal is to make you feel that your issue is the most important file on my desk, not just one of a thousand files.
I am the first born son of Michael Sr. and Marjorie Chambers who migrated from Jamaica in search of furthering their education. Meeting and being married for 42 years was an added bonus. I am a graduate of Trinity College in Hartford, CT where I majored in Political Science, with a concentration in American Government. Amongst other activities I participated was Varsity Soccer, was a teaching assistant, was president of my class Junior Year and Vice President my Senior Year, and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated.
I attended Quinnipiac School of Law where I graduated in 2004. I took and passed the New York and Connecticut Bars and am currently admitted to practice law in Connecticut. In 2004, while awaiting my results of the bar exams and looking for jobs, I had the opportunity to teach at Capital Community College. Even after gaining full time employment, I continued to teach there until my schedule no longer allowed. I truly love and miss teaching.
I have been in private practice for the last 16 years. It has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life to live to serve my community. My staff and I truly enjoy the challenge of serving our community to the best of our ability each and every day.
Attorney Melissa Needle is a lifetime Connecticut resident. She was born in New Haven, raised in Fairfield, and now resides in Westport with her family. Attorney Needle is a third generation attorney with deep family roots in Connecticut. Her father, Attorney Charles Needle, was a founder of the Connecticut firm Zeldes, Needle & Cooper in 1971. Since her admission to the Connecticut Bar in 1990, Melissa has exclusively practiced divorce and family law. Melissa started Needle | Cuda: Divorce and Family Law in 2010. The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys named Needle | Cuda a Connecticut Top 10 Best Firm in Client Satisfaction in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Attorney Needle is an active litigator with an impressive track record. Many of the cases in which Melissa appears involve high net worth divorce property division, complex business valuations, highly contested custody, and petitions for child relocation. She is well-known in Connecticut courts as a forceful, but fair fighter; an attorney with great integrity; and as a worthy adversary who does not shy away from litigation if that path is the best opportunity for her client to reach an equitable solution. Melissa understands that divorce is not just about the dissolution of marriage or stop-gap solutions but helping clients develop and negotiate a comprehensive plan for the rest of their lives.
