5 STARTS! LOUGHLIN FITZGERALD AND CHARLES REED SET MY MIND AT EASE!
I was in an auto-accident, which was no fault of my own, and I had some minor injuries. I owed money on the car, which was totaled and now had medical expenses I needed to take care, and had no idea what to do until I contacted Loughlin Fitzgerald. My case was taken over seamlessly and both Charles R...
"I endorse Charles as a mediator and arbitrator in Personal Injury litigation. I had occasion to submit a matter to him as a neutral arbitrator. He was instrumental in resolving it short of trial. He possesses the right skill set and demeanor to effectuate fair resolutions of claims."
"Attorney Reed was opposing counsel in a case where I represented a motorcycle rider that was in a collision with his client, who was driving an automobile. Attorney Reed was a formidable opponent. He is intelligent, understands the law and its application to a case and was a zealous advocate for his client. However, he is also a gentleman and an example of professionalism and a credit to the legal profession."
"Charlie is an exceptionally gifted civil litigator. His intelligent, effective and practical approach to case management and problem solving has deservedly earned him the loyalty of his clients, both corporate and individual. Charlie is widely recognized by Connecticut judges and his colleagues at the bar, as a trial lawyer of the highest caliber and an enthusiastic and important leader in the profession. This confidence is reflected in his election to the presidency of the New Haven County Bar Association for 2010, and his position as managing principal at Loughlin FitzGerald, P.C. I recommend him highly."
