Personal injury
Most people want to know: Who is responsible for the bills for property damage, for medical bills, and what about my lost income?

Some questions that may not be so obvious about personal injury are: Who are all the potential defendants? Does the law require any specific and timely notice to be given to certain defendants as a condition precedent to filing a claim?

Real Estate Transactions
Most people want to know: Am I getting what I’m paying for?
Most people may not be aware how the new RESPA regulations will affect their real estate transaction.

Estate Planning and Probate
Most people want to know: What do I need to do to make sure I leave my property to my loved ones?
Most people may not be aware how the federal HIPAA regulations may limit the power of a person you appoint as a voluntary conservator.

Best attorney in CT.
Took my automobile accident case and did not settle the case until I received every penny I deserved for my injuries. He has a humble character, and I will recommend him to anyone that needs excellen and professional representation.

EXEMPLARY COUNSELOR !
Attorney Pianka provided to me a top notch experience. I met with him for a consultation on a potential case. There was virtually no waiting time in his office as he saw me immediately. He listened patiently (and silently) to my case, he took notes, then explained to me possible scenarios in terms of what needs to be proven on our end and what we might expect from the opposing side. All my questions were answered satisfactorily and he left me the option to contact him anytime with further questions. A thoroughly enjoyable experience! I look forward to working with Attorney Andrew Pianka.

A Caring Professional
I met Attorney Pianka several years ago when we were both members of the Lions International Organization. He has been our family Attorney since in matters such as wills, real estate closings, a labor matter & for an automobile accident case to which Attorney Pianka secured a generous settlement in my favor. He is a caring individual, which carries into his Law practice. I have recommended him to several friends and acquaintances, from whom I received favorable feedback.

Awesome!
I have retained Attorney Pianka on multiple occasions for estate planning, small business LLC needs, and real estate, as well as consulted with him on various other legal needs. He has consistently provided professional, detailed and extremely high quality services in all instances. Attorney Pianka's attention to detail, concern for his clients personal and individual situations, and his availability and access are hard to find. I highly recommend consulting with Attorney Pianka should you have any legal needs especially in his firm's area of expertise.

Andrew pianka
Mr. Pianka helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I was going through a foreclosure which was both embarassing and confusing. He walked me through everything, but he took care of it all and I only had to go to court one time. I highly reccommend his services!
