Tim Moynahan, his firm, and all his people are some of the finest people working in the Waterbury judicial system. I hired Tim for my case involving multiple DUIs, and from the moment I set foot in his office I was treated with such kindness, compassion and dignity by Tim and his team that I immediately felt better and knew that everything would be okay. In fact, not only did Tim's team work so tirelessly for my case that I avoided jail time, but I believe that by merely bearing witness to Tim's hard work and innate character I actually grew as a person as well, feeling true remorse for my actions and working hard along my journey to change parts of myself and my life so that I'd never be in such a situation ever again. Tim Moynahan and his team are not only the hardest working people you'll ever meet, they are all wonderful people as well who genuinely care and look out for their clients' well-being.

I highly recommend the Moynahan Law Firm to anyone in need of an attorney.

We're planning to sell a cottage and needed a real estate attorney. My husband found an advertisement in our local newspaper & when we were talking to our real estate agent, she recommended Tammy. Since she has property at our lake, we felt very comfortable talking to her about our issues. She is just wonderful, easy to talk to, very pleasant & we are very proud to have her as our real estate attorney. We only wish we could have met her years ago, instead of just recently, because as far as we are concerned, she's the best one, yet! Not only did we hire her for this transaction, but if we ever need an attorney for other issues, she will now be the one we will be consulting with.

any knowledge of the process or what to do and very worried, So he took the time out of his busy schedule and came over to my house, I had many questions which he explained everything in detail, he walked me through the process and helped me to calmed down giving me a sense of hope at the end of our conversation I knew I didn't had to look any further so I hired him to represent me. As time goes by I was a bundle of nerves but he never grew impatient with my endless questions and always replied promptly. Everyone made me feel like I was their number one priority.

Brian did a great job representing me during my divorce in 2017. During a challenging time Brian was quick to respond, thorough and I always felt he had my best interests. Divorce can be a huge financial burden and I found Brian had one of the best rates in Fairfield County which made the process more palatable. Our divorce also included young children and Brian made some great suggestions that ,to this day, have made a positive impact on our co-parenting relationship.

I was able to talk to Joe Maya about my husband's case regarding his daughter and her refusal to do schoolwork. I needed advice on whether my husband can legally do something since his ex isn't notifying him about his daughter's refusal to do work and since he hasn't seen his daughter since the pandemic began. Joe was very helpful and told me the direction that my husband can go if he decides to. It is good to hear that my husband may be able to fight to help his daughter even if that includes changing custody.

I want to share what I wrote to Bill below the day after my sentencing. All I can say is Bill is much more than an attorney and he has set the bar high.
Hey Bill
Thank you so much for yesterday and being a true support through this process. I don’t think I would have gotten through this with out your constant support and help, you are a true gentleman and one of the fairest people I have ever met. I can never repair you for being who you are. Thank you, my wife thanks you, my boys thank you as does my family. I kept telling my wife that it would be a huge relief and today would be so much better as you told me and it is certainly true.

I met Martha at a very difficult time in my life when I had tremendous driving anxiety/physical pain from an accident that I was not at fault for. Not only did Martha provide excellent legal support, but she made me feel heard and constantly validated my emotions. Throughout the legal process she remained in contact, documented impeccable notes throughout and put in effort to understand not only my accident but myself as a person. She was able to get the best possible outcome for the case and ensured I was at the forefront of all decision making. I am grateful to have been referred to Martha, and to have had such a positive experience.

He’s gotten my friends and family the best case scenario results. He’s also defended me in a large workman’s comp case and gotten me a larger result than any lawyer even said possible. These days I live a quieter life than I used to and I’m glad to call John a friend. I hope I don’t ever need him for anything criminal again and have no plans to buy as long as I’m around I’ll always recommend John to those in need. Trust me you wont ever be disappointed with the results John will provide.

Hello,
My name is Frank I felt it important to take a minute to provide some feedback regarding my experience with the Rojas Lawfirm. First about Attorney Rojas, Jose is a extremely compitent and accomplished attorney his knowledge of the law and the way the system works is brilliant. Jose intrenches himself in your case never making mention of the ammount of time and research he puts into the matter. Attorney Rojas is a compassionate person in his approach to the client but also is extremely honest and forthcoming when it comes to what your expectations of a case should be. in my experience he was extremely prompt, responsive, and professional. The results I recieved were beyond my expectations and I credit Jose's patience, research, and knowledge of the law for much of that. Too many times in today's world you pay for services only to be dissapointed in what you get in return, not with this man!! I am happy to say this was one of the better choices I have made when seeking professional legal services and would highly reccomend his firm.
Sincerely,
Frank

Lisa works magic and I cannot offer enough praise for her skills, communication methods, experience and accomplishments regarding my case. She used her breadth of knowledge and amazing ability to negotiate from a not so strong position in order to obtain a settlement well above expected. She will work tirelessly to ensure you are given the utmost care and protection and is a pure delight to work with. She made a usually nerve-wracking and stressful process feel like a walk in the park and it was a pleasure to have her represent me.

I recently used Lisa for a personal family case.
Lisa was very professional but also made me feel like a friend. She treated me like I was her only case and she was in constant contact with me from day 1. Lisa fought hard for us and she never gave up on us. She guided from through the whole process and explained every detail so I understood what was happening each step. I highly recommend Lisa our case was over just under a year. As happy as I am this part is over I’m going to miss her weekly calls she makes you feel like family.

Michael Jainchill is the best personal injury lawyer in the State of Connecticut. He is kind, professional, courteous and will fight for your deserved settlement. He will not overstate your case's importance, however you will know by his results that your case was always his priority. While working toward a settlement last year on my personal injury case, he negotiated with my medical provider to settle my outstanding medical bill for far less than their invoice, thereby ensuring a larger settlement for my future medical needs. I have worked for attorneys and law firms for over 30 years; I have extensive knowledge of personal injury cases and attorneys in this field. I would wholeheartedly recommend Michael Jainchill to anyone who is in need of a highly-qualified personal injury or medical malpractice attorney.

When one approach didn't work, she would recommend alternatives. She consistently followed up on a timely basis. Because of her hard work and persistence, we were able to collect 100% of my judgement!

I was referred by a friend to Attorney Vasaturo. I am truly satisfied with her legal knowledge, efficiency with her work ethic, and pleased with her affordability. I have utilized her services on several occasions. First, I needed to comprise a Living Will. She was attentive to my concerns, effective with document completion, and modest with my cost.
Secondly, I requested Attorney Vasaturo for assistance with dealing with a horrendous accident that my family incurred from an at-fault driver. After trying to deal with insurance companies lack of fairness when we were not at fault, I decided it was best to have an attorney on retainer. Attorney Vasaturo was open and honest about the legal process and what was needed to fight this case. She was diligent with her investigation to acquire necessary documentation while conversing with fellow attorneys regarding this case. She was truly efficient with her time and rate for services. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Jane Vasaturo for any legal needs as she truly gets the job done with favorable results.

Attorney Ronalter is one of the best lawyers I have ever encountered, and because I am a lawyer myself, I have encountered many. But I did not know Bill professionally until I found myself needing a personal injury attorney. I had been in a motor vehicle accident, where the nature of my injuries initially impaired my ability to see how much I needed a lawyer. By the time I hired Bill, there would be unforced errors in my case that he would have to clean up or live with. Attorney Ronalter never flinched at any of them He dealt with each one, always remaining a strong advocate for me, while never letting me lose sight of what was realistic. His high goals were mixed with just the right amount of reality. For me, this is part of what made him a great lawyer.
When it was time to discuss new events in the case, or the results of my evaluations, or what path to take next, he never made me feel rushed or as if there was a better case he could be working on, while he was working on mine. He always gave me his full attention and he always gave me full and prompt briefings on what had occurred in the most recent communication with the defendant’s carrier. And then, as if to tell me he saw me as a whole person and not as a vehicle to a pay day, he would ask about my dogs and tell me about his own.
In the handling of my case, I can’t imagine any lawyer doing more or doing better or treating me with more kindness. In the end, when he had gathered every fact and had put the events and my injuries together, he presented me with an honest assessment of what he thought and how he saw it from different angles; but then did what any good lawyer should do: he left the final decision to me. He told me he would be support me whether I chose to settle my case or let it continue into litigation. And he meant it. I chose the former, and he negotiated an excellent settlement that made sense in light of all of the facts. It felt right to me then, and it still feels right to me now.
I knew before I ever asked for an initial meeting with him, that he was a competent and experienced lawyer. Quick research can provide anyone with that information. But I could not have known through research how kind, considerate, and accessible he would be. He kept me informed every step of the way. He responded to every one of my phone calls. He answered every question with complete candor and honesty. He worked as hard on my case as anyone possibly could have and then secured the outcome I wanted. And if all that were not enough, after our professional relationship ended with the settlement of my case, Bill contacted me to send his condolences when he learned that my dog had died a month into the pandemic. That’s just who he is.
I would recommend William J. Ronalter to anyone who needs a great lawyer and who also wants his lawyer to be a good human being.

I wa a injured in a car accident on the highway on my way hone from work. I sustained a head injury changed my life. I was working as an ER nurse at the time in 2 different hospitals and loved what I did. That day changed my life. Mr. Ronalter represent me and my case. He went above and beyond. He cared about me as a person and what I lost my career, that I worked so hard to achieve. His team was incredibly and respectful in all aspect of my case. My life will never be the same but he put me in a place that I am financially stable. I could still reach out to him and his firm today and they get right back to me. I am so happy I choose him.

I originally was referred to Shipman and Goodwin by another attorney. After interviewing with Bill and Jim, I was convinced this was the legal team I wanted to take over my automobile accident lawsuit. Throughout the entire duration of my case, the attention, professionalism and care that Bill displayed with his associates, lacked in absolutely nothing short of perfection. My case was wrought with problems and issues; Shipman and Goodwin was the 4th firm I had hired, and needless to say I was very apprehensive by the time I retained their services. Bill handled very sensitive and personal information with attentive, courteous and polite methods, making me feel protected and safe, while guiding and prepping me through the legal proceedings before my trial. At no time during the period of 2 years did I ever doubt his abilities or experience in the process. I knew that if I was to get through my case with a positive outcome, that there was no better firm or set of attorneys out there to complete the job. I was impressed with both Jim and Bill's varying skills, complimenting each other within different realms of my case, with the end result of tying up any loose or unfinished details, making for a completely thorough case to be presented for a jury trial. When jury time came, they were completely ready to present the facts. I highly recommend Bill and Jim at Shipman and Goodwin, it made a truly unpleasant process comfortable and less stressful. I refer them to anyone I know needing legal assistance in brain injury, trauma or automobile accidents. I am deeply grateful for their assistance and services in my case.

I have been working with Attorney Dave Minicozzi for close to 20 years. He adeptly handled the closing on my house and its subsequent refinance, as well as my Will. He has also assisted my mother with her Will and other legal concerns.
Attorney Minicozzi is professional and well-versed. He responds in a timely fashion, shows concern for his clients and their well-being, and works hard on their behalf. He is well-respected in the local community and draws on his connections to provide additional resources for his clients when necessary.
Attorney Minicozzi has always been available to answer my questions or respond to my concerns, and does so in a friendly and no-nonsense manner. His affable approach to his work makes him easy to talk with, confide in, and trust.

Attorney Minicozzi assisted me after my divorce when my ex-husband refused to comply with the divorce decree.
David was supportive and knowledgeable about how to proceed through this difficult experience. During the course of the case he had to file multiple contempt charges. He was always prepared to stand in front of the Judge and advocate for me. Being in front of a Judge is nerve-racking but David always reviewed with me prior to the appearance what would happen, questions that may be asked, making me feel confident when I had to get on the stand.

Atty. David Minicozzi has been my attorney for over 10 years. He is extremely bright and incrediby dedicated to his clients and their various needs and challenges. He goes "over and above" in making himself available to his clients in any way that is necessary. He helps his clients feel included and informed, whether it is by generously taking his time to explain sometimes complex legal details or by providing a calm demeanor and sympathetic ear, which is so important given the often stressful and emotional landscape clients may be trying to navigate. His passionate nature shows not only in his approach to practicing law, but also in his dedication and participation in many social activities that benefit his community. I have recommended Atty. Minicozzi to business associates, as well as friends, knowing with confidence that they will be in excellent hands. I will continue to recommend Atty.

Won “best case scenario” judgment
Should you ever find yourself needing a family lawyer, I highly recommend Andrew Eliot. He was recommended as one of the best CT / NY family attorneys, which I needed with a complex NY agreement that was interpreted in Connecticut. Long story short: Andy helped me win a best case scenario judgment. Andy laser focused on the key issues, brought in game changing experts, handled himself with poise despite a lowball opponent — all while being mindful of fees. I trust him. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and families. The process may suck, but this is the guy you want on your side.

I was a client of Attorney Laudati.
He knows the judicial system inside out and directs you through the myriad of courts and paperwork.
The advantage of Attorney Laudati is how available he makes himself to your questions and explanations. There was nothing I did not like about his services. He saw me through my divorce and always made me aware of the pitfalls and aftermath of the process.
I don't think there could be a better attorney in the Hartford County circa than this lawyer.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.
What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
- Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
- Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
- Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
- Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.
How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
- Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.
Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
- Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
- Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
- Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
- Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
- Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
- Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
- List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.
Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
