I am a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist who is admitted to practice in both the Connecticut state and federal courts. I am also admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. I also regularly appear before adminstrative agencies such as the Social Security Administration and the Connecticut Workers' Compensation Commission.
I take a compassionate approach to client representation. I listen carefully to my clients and I am responsive to their needs. I understand that each person's case is unique and I take the time to learn about both the person and his or her case. It is vitally important to me to return phone calls promptly and to answer any questions that the client may have. I keep the lines of communication open. I realize that navigating the often confusing and difficult legal terrain can be hard, and I strive to make that process easier and less stressful for my clients.
In 2016, I was named a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist by the Connecticut Bar Association. In order to become a Board Certified Specialist, I must focus at least 25% of my practice in the area of workers' compensation and go through a rigorous screening process that includes peer review, participation in a minimum number of continuing legal education classes in the area of workers' compensation and ethics, and passage of a one day examination. There are only a very small number of Board Certified Workers' Compensation specialists in Connecticut, and this designation places me in a truly unique and select group of attorneys in the workers' compensation bar.
I have strong research and writing skills, having written numerous articles for several different publications. I also serve as an editor and contributor for the Connecticut Bar Association's quarterly jounal for workers' compensation. I have contributed to several appellate court briefs in cases that have been argued at both the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts.
I am active in the local community. In the past, I have served on the board of directors for the Meriden Domestic Violence Shelter. I have been a member of the Meriden Rotary Club since 2008 and I currently serve as the New Generations chairman. I have also served on the board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Meriden since 2012.
I reside in West Hartford, Connecticut with my wife and two children.

Colin represented me after I was in a motor vehicle accident and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Colin was in constant contact with me throughout the settlement process and always quick to respond to my questions. I highly recommended Colin!!!

Colin wasnt like any other lawyers ive had, he was hands on..every email or phone call etc. i sent to him, he replied back immediately or within the day. As much of a pain as i was, Colin showed how professional and educated he is. He never left me wondering what could happen and he never let me get...
Eric, Thank you for this review! I try my hardest to make sure my clients understand the legal process. The old axiom is true that the wheels of justice move slowly. The process can be very slow and frustrating. Thank you for placing your faith and trust in me. I'm tremendously pleased we were able to achieve a great result for you. I'm even more pleased that I've gained a friend in the process. Stay well; thank you again for this wonderful review! Colin
Posted by Kristi | April 28, 2016 | Hired Attorney
I promised I would write this for Colin two months ago, but life happens, and often not as one expected, so I apologize that this review is a little late. After a June 2013 car accident in which I was rear-ended, I was not going to pursue legal action, but a friend convinced me to contact a lawyer, a...
Kristi, your kind words mean so much to me! Thank you for allowing me to help you with your case. It means so much to me when someone who has placed their complete trust in me has such a positive experience. Stay well!

I would give my highest recommendation for Attorney Colin Mahon as he recently handled my Social Security Disability Case which resulted in a favorable decision for my family and I. Before seeking his services I was extremely overwhelmed with the uncertainty of the legal process but this was met wi...
Brian, Thank you for the incredibly kind words! It was a pleasure fighting for your legal rights! Thank you for placing your faith and confidence in me and, of course, for writing such a wonderful review.
Posted by Lisa | February 20, 2015
Attorney Mahon is exactly as described here in his profile on AVVO. Though my case does not warrant his representation at this time, he still spent a lengthy amount of time intently listening to my story, explaining the process I would be going through, and answering all of my questions. I found At...
