Any Connecticut-licensed attorney may appear in any Superior Court.

What happens at this courthouse.
- Service and return date. A marshal serves the complaint, and the lender’s attorney normally records a lis pendens with the town clerk (C.G.S. § 52-325). The return date printed on the summons is the day the case officially begins at 146 White Street; file an Appearance on or before the second day after it (Practice Book § 3-2); you do not appear in court that day.
- Mediation notice. If the property is your primary residence, you may be eligible for the Foreclosure Mediation Program. Requests are filed with the clerk here and sessions are held in this building. The program currently covers cases with return dates through June 30, 2029 (C.G.S. §§ 49-31l, 49-31v), and the General Assembly has extended it several times; check the Judicial Branch program page or ask counsel about eligibility.
- Motions and judgment. The lender moves for default and then for judgment. A judge at this courthouse decides whether the judgment is strict foreclosure (title passes to the lender on a set date, no auction) or foreclosure by sale (a committee auctions the property and the court approves the result). A sale is ordered only on a party’s motion and at the court’s discretion; equity in the property is the usual consideration.
- Law days or sale. Under strict foreclosure each defendant is given a law day to redeem by paying the debt in full; if nobody redeems, title vests in the lender. Under a decree of sale, the auction is held on the property and the sale is confirmed by this court. A deficiency claim, if any, is heard here afterwards.

Questions about the Danbury Judicial District.
My property is in New Milford. Is Danbury my court?
No. New Milford is in Litchfield County and files in the Judicial District of Litchfield at Torrington. Danbury hears the eight Fairfield County towns listed on this page.
How busy is the Danbury foreclosure docket?
Smaller than Bridgeport or Hartford. Fewer cases generally means quicker scheduling for hearings, but the statutory timelines — return date, mediation period, law days — are the same statewide.
Are there foreclosure attorneys based in Danbury?
Yes, and firms from Waterbury and lower Fairfield County also appear here regularly. The Danbury city page lists firms with an office in the city; firms on this page declare that they appear in the district.
