I have practiced law since 1978 in Danbury, CT, focusing on business and real estate matters and the disputes that arise in those areas. My firm takes pride in providing careful and responsive legal services to clients in the local business environment, as well as larger clients for whom we act as local counsel. I have also been appointed to serve as an Arbitrator and a Fact-finder in the Superior Court for the Judicial district of Danbury.
I have remained an active volunteer in my community and served as an elected member of the Zoning Commission, and later the Environmental Impact Commission, in Danbury. Currently, I serve as an elected member of the Board of Finance in the Town of Redding, CT. I also served 12 years as chairman of the Redding Republican Town Committee, where I helped to select, vet, and support candidates for local office.
I am also active in alumni affairs for Brown University and Cornell University.

As a divorce attorney, I often must refer my clients to other specialty practitioners. In almost every instance, Attorney Mazzucco is the best lawyer for complicated business referrals. He is accessible, thorough, creative, and understands the needs of the case. My clients have been impressed with his knowledge and result oriented approach. His even disposition works well in the context of my practice, where emotions often take over reason. I highly recommend Attorney Mazzucco.
