A Paul Spinella

I hired Attorney Spinella to represent me in a criminal case involving very serious charges which were completely untrue. I am a middle-aged man with a successful career who had never been charged with anything before. Needless to say the entire criminal process was a strange and distressing thing.... Not only did Attorney Spinella guide me through this process with a reassuring and confidant hand, he was successful in having the entire case dismissed. He is an impressive, highly competent professional who knows what he is doing. I recommend him without reservation to anyone who finds himself caught up in the criminal process with a serious case and needs someone to rely on.

I am a young, hard-working woman, neither rich nor famous. So when Attorney Spinella agreed to take my personal injury case I was very pleased. I was even more pleased when he was able to resolve my case for an amount of money I never contemplated. At all times he acted toward me with courtesy, ...care, and attention; with respect to my case he was skillful and experienced and knew exactly what needed to be done. I had always thought that hiring a lawyer would be long, drawn out, and confusing... and after my accident, I was hesitant to do so. I am so glad that I decided to contact Attorney Spinella. He couldn't have made the process any easier, pleasant, or rewarding for me. It was a true pleasure to have his services. I am grateful for his presentation and will look to him in the future whenever I am in need of an experienced lawyer who can get the job done.

I am a Connecticut lawyer and own a summer home in Old Lyme. Several years ago the town, acting by its Zoning Commission, adopted an ordinance denying seasonal users of property from using their homes between November and April. I hired Paul Spinella and recruited hundreds of other 'summer people' t...o join in the litigation to overturn this unconstitutional act of the town. Attorney Spinella brought a civil rights lawsuit in the Connecticut Federal Court, claiming that our Fourteenth Amendment and other constitutional rights were violated. Following a lengthy legal battle, he was successful in having the ordinance declared illegal and the town revoked it thereby restoring our full property rights, More than 2,000 landowners benefited from the court action.This case serves as a deterrent to other shoreline communities which might consider limiting use of property to seasonal only! Attorney Spinella is a talented and dedicated advocate and he was a joy to work with. I recommend him without reservation to anyone who has suffered a violation of personal or property rights from the improper actions of a government agency or other powerful institution.

Attorney Spinella represented me in two police misconduct / civil rights cases in the Connecticut Federal District Court. We were successful in both cases. The second case went to trial earlier this year where we were successful obtaining a jury verdict in our favor for excessive force against th...e City of New London. He believed in my case and his belief was demonstrated, not only in the courtroom, but also during the endless hours of preparation that resulted in justice. Watching him in the courtroom was a sight to behold. He was magnificent and so prepared for everything they tried to throw at him. I have no hesitation in saying that he is a brilliant civil rights attorney. He is passionate about his cases and cares about his clients. I would strongly urge anyone who has had his or her rights violated to contact him without delay.

For someone in need of a personal injury attorney, my recommendation is Spinella & Associates. Without getting into detail, my case involved complex issues requiring expert testimony and knowledge in various areas of the law, such as disability. I can say with confidence that he is not afraid to ta...ke on a big corporation with a big law firm. Most importantly for me, he has bulldog persistence and dedication to the cause - don’t expect any hand-holding or bedside manner. If you are interested in results he’s your man. I would recommend him highly to anyone in need of a good personal injury lawyer, or a damage claim of any kind.
