Biography Submit listing

Connecticut Trial Attorney Paul McConnell is a former Judge, Marine Corps infantry officer, and federal prosecutor with extensive grand jury, trial, and appellate experience.

Paul was educated in mediation and jurisprudence by the National Judicial College in Reno, Nevada and by the Connecticut Council for Non-adversarial Divorce (CCND).

He is a highly skilled mediator, trial lawyer, advocate, and negotiator. He has been the lead counsel or presiding judge in hundreds of matters including over 55 jury trials.

Following 18 years of public service, Paul started his own firm in 2014 to focus on one thing: representing individuals with passion and purpose.

Presently, Paul limits his practice to mediation and high-stakes litigation matters involving personal injury, medical malpractice, divorce, custody, and federal criminal defense matters. He is involved in strategically planning for nearly all cases in his firm and routinely represents clients in Fairfield, New Haven, and Hartford counties.

With offices in Hartford, New Canaan, and New Haven, and by appointment only in Greenwich, Shelton, and Stamford
