I have worked on a number of cases with Mike and Jeremy. I cannot say enough about their litigation/advocacy skills, or their attention and dedication to their cases. They handle difficult cases with reason but also genuine compassion for their clients. They are my first call when referring a serious personal injury matter.

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!

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.

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.

Tom and Kim worked with me one/one from the beginning to the end of my case. I would highly recommend them to any person seeking out genuine and fair representation. They remained honest and authentic with me every step of the way and worked hard to make sure what was right happened. So thankful for the day I reached out to Tom and asked for his assistance in my case with my injury from the accident. Heartfelt appreciation to both Kim and Tom.

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.

Lou Pickett

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.

Four years ago I was involved in a tragic accident. Having had a very good experience with another attorney at this firm, one of the first things that I did after I was admitted to the hospital was to contact them and ask how to proceed. Admittedly I was initially disappointed to find that the attorney that I used before could not take my case so I would be referred to Tom Pettinicchi. I quickly discovered that my concerns were unfounded. Tom is a brilliant attorney. He and his staff could not have been more thoughtful, compassionate, sincere, and available. They sent beautiful flowers to my hospital room. They brought a gift basket to my home, and when I could not find anyone to drive me to a medical appointment in Manhattan his assistant's husband drove me there. Years later, when I called Tom for help with a dispute with my neighbors, he was so gracious with his time. I always felt that Tom and his staff considered my well being to be a priority. For these reasons, and above all because of the strong integrity of this firm, I would not hesitate to use their services again or to recommend them to anyone else.

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.

Tina Rawls

I highly recommend this law firm. The team is very professional & NICE!! They check up on you & keep you updated with all information you need to know. Kim is so darn sweet and explains everything in detail, quick to reply to any questions you may have. Tom (Mr. Pettinicchi) is so smooth, a cool dude, laid back but extremely intelligent. I refer this law firm to anyone who is looking for a reputable professional lawyer.
