• [T]hese are busy days in Connecticut's foreclosure courtrooms, and for no one more than the growing stable of lawyers at Hunt Leibert and Reiner, Reiner. A record 18,000 foreclosure suits were filed in Connecticut last year, and two out of every three were brought by lawyers from those two firms. On their busiest day last year, Hunt Leibert and Reiner, Reiner filed suit against 108 property owners around the state.
