Every step of the way I've been extremely impressed and pleased with the terrific representation by D'Amico & Pettinicchi in my automobile accident case. I don't think any firm could have handled my case better. The consistently thoughtful, patient, and informative counsel from Jeremy D'Amico and the impressive D'Amico & Pettinicchi staff is something I will enthusiastically recommend to anyone needing legal services. They are a great team to have as your team.

I am a personal injury and medical malpractice lawyer in New York City. Simply put, D'Amico & Pettinicchi is a great law firm. We have referred several cases to them and they always do a great job for their clients. All of the attorneys are not only very skilled litigators, but they are truly good people who genuinely care about their clients.

I recently participated in a focus group hosted by the firm. It was a great experience. Attorney Pettinicchi, Kimberly, and Samantha were professional, kind, and accommodating throughout the entire process. I enjoyed myself and would definitely consider attending another group. I can see myself referring friends and family to the firm in the future based on the positive experience I had.

The service my wife and I received from this law firm was above and beyond what we expected. They treat you like family and a really concerned more with getting you the best care for your injuries more than anything else. I love that even after we settled they still send a card every year for my wife’s birthday.

I had no idea what the next move should have been after I was rear-ended on Interstate 95, getting off the highway, and heading to drop my children off. Were my children hurt? Was my car totaled? When I got out to check, I felt pain and I knew something was wrong...fast-forward, once my car was deemed totaled, I knew I had to call someone, and I chose to call Tom Pettinichi. I am so glad I did. The entire team from Kim to Tom - I am well taken care of, and they continue to walk with me as we figure out how to help compensate me, and my family for the losses we faced from getting hit. My body is forever changed, as is the financial health of my family, because of this accident that was not my fault. Thank you to the stellar team at D'Amico & Pettinicchi.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Jeremy D'Amico and Stacy Crochet, paralegal. My case was complex, and attorney D'Amico empathized with my situation, providing the support and guidance I needed during a challenging time. He has trial experience and demonstrated the ability to litigate effectively if necessary. His fees were fair, and he took the time to discuss them. I highly recommend Jeremy D'Amico as your personal injury attorney.

Horace Wilcox

I went to Attorney Griffin for advice on recovery of medical funds from a Motor Vehicle Accident. The recovery suit took several years and many conference sessions to finalize. Mark was an excellent counselor, being patient and professional at all times. Eventually we became good friends. His paralegals, Kim Barbato, and Jennifer Brostec were very professional and efficient. The office staff was always friendly and helpful. I definitely would go back here if there was a need for me to seek legal advice in the future

Ed McPhillips

I am an attorney in Virginia who has worked with the attorneys at D'Amico and Pettinicchi on a regular basis for more than 25 years, and from what I have seen they are the top personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys in the state of Connecticut. They are supportive, thorough, diligent, prepared, and, as a result, very successful in representing their clients. I highly recommend their services when people need them the most - after you, your loved one, your friend, or your neighbor has been hurt as of the result of another's negligence or wrongful conduct. They are leaders in their field.

Kaydence Soule

Attorney Jeremy D’Amico and Paralegal Stacy Crochet were truly incredible to work with. After being involved in a terrifying accident in 2018 with my mom and sibling due to a wrong-way driver, I was overwhelmed and scared. From the very start, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine care, making sure we felt heard and supported throughout the entire process. Jeremy took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, never making me feel like just another case. During the trial, I was emotional and nervous, but he was patient and compassionate, which meant the world to me. Stacy was also amazing—always available to answer questions and provide guidance. This firm truly feels like family, and I can’t imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else. If you’re looking for attorneys who are not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring, I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for everything you’ve done for my family and me!
