Balancing Act

New London Attorney strives for fairness above all.

ATTORNEY DENISE P. ANSELL favors quality fabrics and rich colors, like the silky scarf of navy, gold and cream she wore over crisp slacks and a turtleneck recently as she showed a visitor the antiques in her Broad Street office.

Then there was the plush leather jacket, belted at the waist, that she threw over her workout clothes before leaving Old Lyme's DNA Wellness yoga studio on a raw night. After more than an hour of focused breathing and meditation, her long, honey-colored hair still looked perfect as she climbed into her sleek black Lexus that bears the vanity plate, "ANSELL."
