Smart, effective Connecticut business litigators

Our attorneys are known and respected for their extensive courtroom experience and attention to detail. We have handled hundreds of cases from the pre-litigation phase through jury trial and appeal when necessary.

More importantly, we take business and complex civil cases on a contingency fee basis, making it possible for companies to affordably pursue claims that would not be cost-effective with a more traditional hourly fee agreement. Our attorneys offer the extensive commercial background usually only found at large commercial firms, combined with the courtroom savvy and personal attention possible with a smaller, more nimble firm. Our lawyers are all dedicated to ensuring that individuals get the same high-quality legal representation that is available to America’s largest corporations.
