We do this with a lot of hard work, honesty and an unmatched ability to manage expectations, solve issues and enable decisions.

Ask anyone who has worked alongside us, they will tell you, whether it’s an elegant, eco-friendly estate designed by Peter Bohlin on Block Island, a technologically advanced structure for a blind client in Burlington, a chateau-like dream house overlooking the entire valley in Avon, or even a high end, modern salon on Madison Avenue, we keep ourselves at the forefront of new technology, remain environmentally responsible, and most of all, build structures that reflect their surroundings, bettering them, creating something even more beautiful in reality than what was on paper. Like a great actor bringing a script to life, we do that for buildings, homes, and workspaces. We bring them to life, and may I add, we fully love what we do.”

Fotis Dulos Mother

Fotis’s mother Kleopatra Dulos was reportedly run down by a family employee nearly nine years ago in September 2010. The crash happened after she asked the nanny to move a Land Rover to make it easier for one of her grandkids to climb in.

According to reports she bent down near the front of the car to make sure the lights were turning on and “the vehicle was moving forward during this span of time.”

At the time the police said they didn’t believe that it was a “criminal event.” Kleopatra was taken to hospital and died shortly afterward. Three months later, police learned Dulos had died as a result of the accident and went back to interview the driver, who was still employed by the family.

The nany told the police; “I assumed that she had moved far away from the vehicle but apparently she had fallen down next to the vehicle and out of my sight. I pulled forward and I heard [one of the grandchildren] scream from the backseat.”

The nanny reportedly said she found Kleopatra injured and unconscious in the driveway and that Jennifer Dulos called 911.

Fotis Dulos was also questioned and told cops he was in Italy at the time of the accident. He said his mom fell down a flight of stairs and cracked her head a couple of months before the accident and was still taking painkillers.

“I was told by my wife [Jennifer Dulos] that three days before the accident when I was in Italy [Kleopatra] lost consciousness a couple of times and fell to the floor.”

Fotis is said to be in a relationship with Michelle Troconis. The two are accused of having something to do with the disappearance of Jennifer Dulos. They are suspected of driving along a nearby highway the day she vanished and stopping more than 30 times — including to drop bloodstained items in trash cans along the way, according to new court papers.

Fotis Dulos Suspect

Fotis together with his girlfriend Daniela has been arrested and charged with evidence tampering and hindering prosecution. According to court documents, the evidence against them includes “multiple stains on the garage floor which tested positive for human blood” at Jennifer’s New Canaan home. The document continues to say that there were “multiple areas of blood splatter” — and “evidence of attempts to clean the crime scene.”

According to court documents, Fotis’ cellphone records and area surveillance footage indicate that he stopped “at over 30 locations.”

The court document says that a man matching Fotis description was in a truck matching Fotis’s description. He is said to have left the vehicle during stops and placing multiple garbage bags into various trash receptacles. His passenger who is believed to be Tronconis would lean out of the truck and was seen “either placing something on the ground or picking up an item.”

Testing showed that “numerous items recovered from trash receptacles” were “found to contain Jennifer Dulos’ blood.”

The two were arraigned in Norwalk Superior Court on June 3, 2019 and held on $500,000 bond.

On Wednesday, June 26, Fotis criminal defense lawyer, Norm Pattis, said Fotis “has information that may help shed light on Jennifer’s disappearance” and wants to meet with prosecutors.

He added that they were contemplating the revenge suicide hypothesis, as it is alleged Jennifer committed revenge suicide; “You heard us say today in court comments that Jennifer made to Mr. Dulos that give us great concern for her safety and well-being. We are actively contemplating the revenge suicide hypothesis as an explanation for her disappearance.

He can discuss what Jennifer told him in the weeks before her disappearance. We will soon be arranging what’s called a proffer session. Under that, he will be waiving his Fifth Amendment right against incrimination because we don’t think the comments incriminate him.”

Fotis Dulos Arrest

On January 7, 2020 Dulos was arrested on charges of murder. Dulos’s bond has been set at $6 million, and he can’t post it until he’s been arraigned on the new charge.

Fotis Dulos’s attorney Norm Pattis said after the arrest that he was not surprised the state decided to bring the charge but he will be surprised if they can win it.

“I’m not surprised that the state decided to bring the charge. I haven’t seen the warrant. I’ll be surprised if they can win it. Mr. Dulos contends he was not involved. In a paradoxical way, we welcome this fight, because we think we will win it. In fact, we’re confident we will. And now we won’t have to speculate about what it looks like any longer.”

Fotis Dulos Suicide

On Tuesday, January 28, 2020 it was reported that Fotis Dulos had died in an apparent suicide. It was however reported that he was being transported to UConn Health in Farmington Tuesday afternoon from his Jefferson Crossing home in an effort to save his life.

According to Hartford Courant, a key source said a faint pulse was detected en route to the hospital. His lawyer, Norm Pattis confirmed that he was being taken to the hospital.

“I am told Mr. Dulos is en route to the hospital with a pulse. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.”

A source told Hartford Courant that Dulos was believed to have died but a faint pulse was detected after 30 minutes of CPR by first responders. At that point, he was rushed to UConn Health, where the source said that by early afternoon, Dulos remained unconscious, was unable to breath on his own and was on life support.

Source revealed that Dulos was in a vehicle inside the garage of his Jefferson Crossing home for at least an hour inhaling noxious carbon monoxide on Tuesday morning. He clamped a vacuum hose to the tailpipe of his Chevrolet Suburban and ran it into the vehicle.

Fotis Dulos Dead

On January 30, 2020 Fotis was pronounced dead two days after he was rushed to a New York City hospital in the wake of a suicide attempt. According to his lawyer, Norm Pattis he was pronounced dead at 5:32 p.m.

“It’s been a truly horrific day for the family filled with difficult decisions, medical tests and meeting the requirements to determine death. As to those who contend that Mr. Dulos’ death reflects a consciousness of guilt, we say no. We say it was more a conscience overborne with the weight of a world that was too busy to listen and wanted a story more than it wanted the truth.”

Pattis added that he will ask the court to proceed with the criminal charges against Dulos despite his death so his name can be cleared. He filed a motion late Thursday asking the court to substitute Dulos’ estate as the defendant in the case and proceed to trial.

He said in the motion; “Mr. Dulos’ children should not be subjected to a lifetime coping with the fictional reality that their father murdered their mother in cold blood on the basis of baseless and rampant speculation. Mr. Dulos right to confront these charges and to assert his innocence does not die with him.”
