I was arrested in retaliation of filing ethics complaints exposing embezzlement in the Stamford Government. I hired Devin Janosov when my first 2 Attys acted with malice to hide a video I had from day 1 proving my innocence and refused to obtain or compel exculpatory discovery that proves my defense. . My first 3 Attys hide video evidence proving my innocence and acted with malice to get me committed into the mental ward in violation of court law criminal procedures " Title 54 "allows someone deemed incompetent to be a volunteer in an out patient program. My first 2 attorneys allowed the judge to conceal exculpatory video to hurt my defense and commit me to the mental ward illegally. Atty Janosov concealed my videos evidence (from the court) proving my defense to help the SA cause me great harm. Atty Janosov and my 2 former attorneys all acted with malice to hide my rights to receive a "Nolle Prosequi" as the court rules to have my charges dismiss as the law of the court provides sec: 54-56 2 (A) "the court shall approve a "nolle prosequi" that dismisses the charges with out the courts approval. This is an automatic dismissal of the charges as per the rule. The court does not have the right to deny it. Atty Devin Janosov never received any exculpatory evidence because he allowed the SA to conceal all evidence to support my defense the whole time he defended me (1 year) . He refused to file motion to compel discovery for 1 year. Atty Janosov never represented any of the 6 motions we filed to cause me great harm and he allow the SA to conceal all exculpatory evidence including the list of witness the SA intended to call in their prosecution the whole times he represented me for 2 years and 1 month. Janosov never took action to make the State identify the witnesses I had on my video proving my innocence for over 1 year. Janosov concealed a video with SPD Police Captain validating my innocence on video for over 1 years to hinder my defense and cause me great harm. Atty Janosov received some discovery in Sept 2021 and he refused to let me review it even though I paid him to obtain it for me. Atty Devin Janosov never told me I could use my house for collateral to avoid shelling out $30k in out of pocket bail fees. He took my money to defend me against criminal charges fabricated against me. Stamford police got caught on video when they fabricated false arrests on me to hide my complaints exposing embezzlement and misconduct of the Board of Ethics / Stamford government. Atty Janosov never represented a motion for me or told the judge I had a video proving my defense for over 2 years while allowing the courts to conceal evidence I needed to support my defense. Atty Janosov asked the judge to be withdrawn from my case and the judge let Atty Janosov keep $3.750 from me with out ever doing anything to help me for over 2 years. Devin Janosov breach his contract to represent me, represent motions for me and compel discovery, but he keep all my money with the help of the judge. Devin Janosov never filed for a " nolle prosequi " as per court law title 54 sec: 2A) My right to dismiss all charges because I completed the competency program as a patient committed into the mental ward (in violation of title 54 procedures (the lawyers and court violated my rights under title 54 to be an outpatient as a volunteer to gain competence). I would not recommend this lawyer. SM

Devin has always had a strong dedication to the practice of law, and deeply cares about his clients. Beyond his commitment to his clients, he elevates the practice itself by helping other attorneys to grow and better represent their clients. He and his firm are constantly receiving awards and acknowledgment for a reason - they're some of the best attorneys in the field.

This attorney answered all my questions promptly and throughly. He guided me in the right direction. Thank you so much!

Tried my "minor" (according to my previous attorney) personal injury case to verdict, by calling me to the stand and resting after only 15 minutes of my testimony. Despite having other witnesses prepared to testify for me; after 15 minutes of my testimony Attorney Janosov felt that I had connected so well with the jury, that it would be a mistake to enter any more evidence. So he turned me over to the defense attorney, who questioned me for hours, to no real point; and then Attorney Janosov, to the surprise of everyone in court, rested my case. Since the defense had no evidence, we went straight to jury deliberations. The next day the jury returned a verdict. To everyone's (except Attorney Janosov's I presume) surprise, the jury awarded me a verdict over $200,000 before interest. With less than $6,000 in strictly chiropractic treatment, Attorney Janosov agreed to take my case to trial (despite there being pre-trial offers that I didn't feel were adequate for the pain I was feeling, but were not "insignificant" amounts of money...Attorney Janosov merely said "if you don't want it, I will go to trial for you; you're the boss."). And, thanks to his unique understanding of how the jury was viewing me as I was testifying, he had the foresight to "quit while he was ahead" and it resulted in what the judge and defense counsel visibly felt was an astonishing verdict considering the facts and injuries in my case. Considering I don't believe any other lawyer would have known to do such a thing; I have to say, no matter the size of your case, if you want, or have, to take your case to verdict; you want Attorney Janosov to be the one picking your jury and appearing before them. He truly has a unique understanding of how a jury is thinking at any given moment; and turned my case into "gold" because of it.

I was with a previous attorney for my personal injury case; and this previous lawyer (who shall remain nameless) didn't even bother to evaluate the extent of my injuries; and after 3 years of having my case, he tried to coerce me into settling my case for $6,000; I wouldn't sign, and I was complaining about it at work and someone told me to go talk to Attorney Janosov. In our first meeting he asked me so many questions I think he had a better understanding of my case than my previous lawyer did after having me as a client for 3 years. So I signed up with Attorney Janosov, who said the $6,000 offer was a "nuisance offer" and that I shouldn't even consider it. After deposing the defendant, collecting all my medical records my previous attorney failed to even get; speaking directly to my doctors to get a better understanding of my injuries and how they presented; fought with my health insurance company to get procedures covered; and pushed the case all the way to jury selection, he settled my case for more than ten times the "nuisance offer" my previous lawyer was SCREAMING at me to take. Attorney Janosov had my case for less than 2 years; and got SO involved, so quickly, he increased the settlement offer by more than ten times what my last lawyer was offered; and Attorney Janosov was ready and willing to go to trial for me if I didn't want to take the offer. As opposed to my previous attorney who basically stopped speaking to me when I wouldn't take $6,000. Attorney Janosov is a REAL lawyer; he did the work, put in the time to learn every detail of my case; and took what my previous lawyer called "un-winnable" and turned it into a high 5-figure offer and was ready to go to trial that next week if I didn't want the offer. He never tried to steer me to settle; or intimidate me into anything. He just did the work: and was always there to answer my questions and had a clear idea of how he was going to win at trial if I didn't want the almost $100,000 offer (the actual amount is technically confidential) he got me. I chose to settle; but Attorney Janosov made it so it was my choice; and I always felt like he was working FOR ME; and would do what I wanted; as opposed to my previous lawyer who treated me like I was nuisance to him. All I can say is thank god I was referred to Devin; and even though he was busy litigating high-profile cases like the suit against the Stamford High School teacher who raped his client repeatedly; and was constantly on the news and in national newspapers for that case and the lawsuit he is handling against Newtown, CT and their Board of Ed for the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting; both cases which I knew were FAR bigger and more important than mine; I never once was made to feel like my business wasn't appreciated. He even had me over to his home to meet his children and family before trial to prep me; and so we could be more "comfortable" with each other so we would be "natural" in front of the jury had I chosen not to accept the incredible offer he had gotten me. I don't know how he does it; but he gives everyone the same treatment, regardless of how "big" their case is. When I asked him why/how he does this, his response was what made me realize that he will always be my lawyer; he said "to you, your case is the biggest and most important case in my office; and that means that you deserve to be treated the same as all my other clients. Because to all my clients, their case is the most important; so all my clients are important to me...because I'm their lawyer and it's my job to help them through the hard times in their lives." I can honestly say I think of him as a friend now thanks to the way he treated me as a client...he deserves all the accolades he has been receiving, and I feel sorry for the lawyers who have to go against him in the Sandy Hook case. Because the dedication he showed to my simple car accident was astonishing. I can only imagine what he's going to do for those childrens' families

We were in a deposition on my case with like 8 other lawyers, and I was being deposed, and asked like a thousand questions by all these other lawyers, and it felt like my case was slipping away, and I looked at Devin and he just put his hand on my mine and said "don't worry, I get my turn..." When it finally got around to him, he literally asked 5 questions, that he got by paying extremely close attention to details on the exhibits the other lawyers had introduced as evidence, and he caught that the dates were all wrong on them; that they were unreliable, and that the witness they claimed they had against me didn't speak any English and therefore couldn't have given any statements at the scene of the collision they were trying to blame me for, but in which I was seriously injured. 8 Lawyers and 3 hours of questions, and Devin unraveled the entire case against me in less than 10 questions. I swear to god I thank god I went with him as my lawyer, it's like you just can't put anything past him. And in the end, when it was over and I tried to thank him, he just politely said "I'm just doing my job making sure the truth comes out." He is truly deserving of his recent nomination as a SuperLawyer, and I would take him over all the other 8 lawyers in that room combined. It was truly amazing. He undid 3 hours of questions in under 3 minutes and turned the entire case around. I'm still awestruck.
