Review of David Minicozzi

I am a past and current client of David Minicozzi. I have used a number of lawyers in the past. But I would prefer to use David as opposed to the others. He has always given me prompt, thorough and honest advice. He has guided me through difficult and emotional times. If I hadn't listened to his advi...ce I would have found some difficult situations impossible to navigate. I know all about the disciplinary action against David. It is irrelevant to me. It was a minor incident, no one was harmed, and it was a long time ago. He has redeemed himself by doing good works in his community and by providing quality legal advice to his many grateful clients. I think AVVO has unfairly posted this incident, considering how long ago it was and how trivial the incident was. If anything, David has grown and has become a better lawyer. I have recommended him to many friends and family members and will continue to do so.

Thank you Joann! I am happy you feel so strongly about my peformance over the past 28 years. FYI if anyone wants further information regarding the "disciplinary incident" I would be more than happy to discuss it with you. You can rest assured that AVVO's insistence on referring to this ancient (1993!) incident will not disuade me from providing the best advice I can possibly give!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1994.

Reprimand issued in CT, 1994

updated on 11/05/2018

A reprimand is an order from the Statewide Grievance Committee after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.

David’s comment:

“My client's ex-husband filed the complaint; it had nothing to do with anyone's money; no one was materially harmed and justice was eventually done; it has been 25 years and I have redeemed myself many times over. If anything the experience made me a better attorney. I have been married 27 years; my wife loves me; I have many happy and satisfied clients, a number of whom I count as friends. In spite of Avvo keeping this remark I continue to act as a shepherd for my clients.”

Sample of Legal Cases

"The Case of the Dark Ramp Dentist"

The case eventually settled for c.$650,000.00. There was an issue as to whether she should have come back up the ramp rather than chance it by walking around the cone. Best to settle rather than take a chance in front of a jury.
