Firm History
Clear focus on firm goals
Attorneys at Spinella & Associates have each been practicing individually for more than 15 years.
Attorney Spinella's book, Connecticut Criminal Procedure, is a standard reference tool in this state for the defense bar and prosecutors alike.
In keeping with the ideal of providing clients with the most personal service and taking on only worthwhile cases that are carefully screened, the firm plans to expand, yet resists the urge to grow much larger.
Connecticut lawyers. Inspired by history. Guided by tradition.
Attorneys at Spinella & Associates come from a long line of Connecticut lawyers dating back to Roger Baldwin's representation of the freed slaves of the Amistad incident. The firm’s attorneys strive to preserve civil liberties by protecting individuals from overreaching societal institutions.
For persons whose rights are in jeopardy, Spinella & Associates are your instruments of protection. To accomplish your goals, they combine street savvy with historical perspective and legal experience,, along with extensive experience in police misconduct and other civil rights cases.
In addition to criminal matters and civil rights claims, Spinella & Associates represent plaintiffs in other areas: whistleblowers, employees, investors, and consumers.
Whistleblower cases are brought under the United States False Claim Act on behalf of individuals who report government fraud or are terminated for opposing fraudulent practices.
Some plaintiff cases are brought as class actions, a procedure that allows individuals to gather together to challenge powerful institutions or companies. Typically these cases involve claims by stockholders against publicly traded companies, employment discrimination claims, and consumer/product liability cases.
Spinella & Associates are closely associated and share office premises with a national law firm who work solely in the area of class actions and have brought many leading national cases over the last decade.
