D'Amico & Pettinicchi is a great firm with a dedicated team. Beyond their incredible knowledge and impressive record, they show great care to clients and cases—ensuring they're well-prepared for trial through research, focus groups, mock trials, and of course their years of experience. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for legal representation in one of their practice areas! :)

Thank you to D'Amico Pettinicchi Injury Lawyers for sponsoring the UMass Pre-Law Club's recent trip to UConn Law! We enjoyed seeing key locations on campus, sitting in on a mock trial, and having our questions answered in a Q&A. We learned important information and gained valuable insight on all things UConn Law!

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!

After a rear-end collision that totaled my vehicle, not only was I terrified but at a loss of what to do next. I had the pleasure to be to be recommended by a friend to Attorney Pettinicchi and his wonderful paralegal Kim Barbato. I never in my life delt with such a professional and compassionate staff. 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. DO NOT waste your time googling other firms, Call Tom Pettinicchi immediately, you will not regret it.

I have given these attorneys five stars. I’d be happy to give them ten. They took a very problematic personal injury case and turned it into a teriffic success. Having been involved with the law for many years, I was in a great position to select any firm, but I chose these lawyers because I know their work and because I was well aware of their stellar reputation throughout the state. I was not disappointed. The result they achieved was twice what I expected. Naturally, I hope I will never again need a personal injury attorney, but if I do, Attorneys D’Amico and Pettinecci will be my guys.

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.

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.

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.

The staff at D'Amico and Pettinicchi are amazing. They have been very helpful for myself and husband answering questions, getting back to us promptly and offering support wherever needed. It has been an amazing experience getting advice and working with their team.

Colleen D'Amico

I recently had an opportunity to attend a Focus Group at the law firm which helps both the attorney and the client as they prepare for an actual upcoming trial. The simulated courtroom and jury box created an atmosphere to help them present their findings and receive feedback from "fake" jurors. It was great experience for me to see the legal system in action preparing to help someone who was injured.

Jacqueline Paglino

As a medical expert, I had the opportunity to work with this firm. They are very knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy.

Mike, Jeremy, Stacy, and Kim are the dream team of legal representation. Their clear communication, legal acumen, and attention to detail was truly remarkable. Most importantly they genuinely cared about my family which is what ultimately led to a favorable outcome. Their thoughtful guidance and constant reassurance helped to provide our family with the strength and optism necessary to endure the tedious legal process. My family is forever grateful for their exceptional dedication, expertise, and unwavering support!

I was chosen to participate in a focus group. I found it very interesting and learned a lot about the law in a very short time. It was a great experience

Nikkya Hargrove

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.

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.

Dawn Macary

I was also part of a focus group. It was a fantastic experience. Atty Pettinicchi was the lawyer that talked us through the case. He was great, he explained in simple terms that you could understand. There entire staff went above and beyond, to make sure you had what you needed for the case. If I ever need an attorney I am calling, D’Amico and Pettinicchi. The are there for you and, most importantly they LISTEN too you.

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.

Deborah Doody
