They took over my case, explained everything step by step what will be happening. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone who needs an injury lawyer.

My car was totaled and I was injured in a car accident December 2022. The person who caused the accident was either distracted or impaired. After the accident, I was confused as to what I needed to do, and how to do it. I found D'Amico & Pettinicchi, LLC on the web, and contacted them. I immediately knew that contacting was the right thing to do. Stacy took control. Told me what she needed from me and "hand-held' me through the process. What a relief. I highly recommend D'Amico & Pettinicchi to handle any accident-related incident. They were the best.

Stacey DeAngelis

Following a harrowing automobile accident, I found myself at a loss for what to do next. After thoroughly researching personal injury attorneys, I decided upon the D'Amico & Pettinicchi law firm. Upon the initial consultation with attorney Michael D'Amico and his paralegal, Stacy Crochet, I experienced a sense of optimism and reassurance. Michael is not only a consummate professional, but he is also genuinely caring and compassionate. Throughout the entire process, Michael and Stacy were always readily available to address any concerns and provide guidance. My case was complex, and Michael's legal expertise was exceptional, especially during negotiations. Suffice it to say, my awarded amount was much more than I could have ever imagined. Hands down, I wholeheartedly recommend the law firm of D'Amico & Pettinicchi, if you require legal representation for a personal injury case.

His dedication and clear explanations eased my anxieties, and the fantastic paralegal and staff only added to the feeling of being in good hands. It was a complicated case I didn’t think would turn in my favor. In the end, I ended up with a successful outcome and a renewed sense of trust – I highly recommend D’Amico Pettinicchi . Thank you attorney Thomas Pettinicchi.

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!

Beth Jackson

While visiting Connecticut I was rear ended by a drunk driver. His insurance company initially denied the claim, I needed an attorney. I do not live in Connecticut so I relied on Google reviews to help guide me… the reviews were spot on! Attorney Tom Pettinicchi and paralegal Stacy Crochet are the absolute best! Thank you both so very much! They helped me every step of the way. They are compassionate, they fought for me, and they held the drunk driver and his insurance carrier accountable. I am so grateful for all they have done and continue to do. If you find yourself needing a personal injury attorney, do yourself and your case a favor and call D’Amico Pettinicchi, you won’t regret it. I don’t. Call them now.

Michael Ference

I recently participated in my third focus group with this law firm. They may not be as high profile as other state and national injury law specialists, but they are the best! They are compassionate and thorough as (the "Third Division" of CBS Radio and Television News-Fred W. Friendly and Edward R.) Murrow! (Murrow hired Walter Cronkite.) The firm emphasizes substance over style and logic and rationality! If the need arises, I would absolutely hire them to represent me! I look forward to the opportunity of participating in more future focus groups with them!
