Carl Gulliver's practice focuses on individual attention and careful analysis of the affairs of debtors in all types of proceedings in the bankruptcy court. Experience and judgment drive the well-considered strategies for each client. As a bankruptcy lawyer in Connecticut, he represents both personal and business debtors and creditors in all aspects of bankruptcy in chapters 11, 13, 12, and 7 and counsels clients in insolvency law, planning, and asset protection.

Board certified in business bankruptcy law by the American Board of Certification, Mr. Gulliver is also AV® Preeminent Peer Review RatedSM by Martindale-Hubbell®, the highest rating for lawyers.

Mr. Gulliver is a regular participant in the Connecticut Pro Bono Network receiving annual recognition for service in the area of bankruptcy law.

With over thirty years the practice of bankruptcy law, Mr. Gulliver has worked with the current 1979 Bankruptcy Code for essentially its entire history. After practicing in a bankruptcy boutique in Washington, DC, Mr. Gulliver moved with his family in 1986 to Connecticut. In New Haven he continued his practice in the bankruptcy area with DiPietro, Kantrovitz & Brownstein, PC, where he became a partner and represented developers in some of the larger Connecticut cases during the real estate meltdown of the late eighties and early nineties.
