Excellent

Attorney James F. Aspell, P.C. Came highly recommended & I am very pleased with his review process & he represented me promptly & is highly qualified attorney for a issue I had. To bad I did not retained Attorney Aspell at the time of my initial claim & I am more than sure with his expertise the out... come would had been much different than the representation I had with Attorney Sara Cohen & Attorney Andrew Cates. Again I have high respect & regards for Attorney Aspell.

W/Comp Claim

Had I not found Attorney Aspell I would never have received what I was entitled to for my W/C case. I got so tired of the runaround I was getting trying to deal with my companies insurance company and approval for seeking medical attention, that I had to resort to getting an attorney to assist me. ...I struck gold when finding an Expert, Attorney Aspell! Attorney Aspell paved the way for me to get the medical attention I needed. The greatest surprise was that I never knew that I was entitled to compensation for my injury! Attorney Aspell handled all aspects of my case which lead to my receiving a financial settlement. Lastly, with Jim and his legal assist Lindsey, you develop a personal relationship that I never expected from a law firm. Calls get answered, questions get answered, and you are never made to feel uncomfortable asking even what might be a dumb question. I hated being injured, not happy that I will have long term physical issues. However, I got the satisfaction of being compensated due to Attorney Aspell! Thanks again, Jim & Lindsey!!

Worker's Compensation

I had a serious back injury while working for the gas company. Until I hired Jim I was getting the run around. My medical bills were unpaid and I was not able to see a doctor. Within weeks he and his paralegal cleaned the mess up and was eventually able to negotiate a good settlement that allowed ...me to move on with my life. I would highly recommend this office They know what they are doing and are able to move the dial in Connecticut worker's comp claims.

Excellent Service and Professionalism

As a former client, I was very impressed with the handling of my case. Attorney Aspell and his staff were very personable, attentive, empathetic and professional. I was continually updated and apprised of the status of my case and was provided with all possible options. I was very pleased with the se...rvice, would use the firm again and not hesitate to recommend them.
