About Ward

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.

    Review Ward Mazzucco

    Excellent Attorney

    Posted by

    I carefully researched attorneys before hiring the law firm of Chipman Mazzucco LLC. Ward Mazzucco came highly recommended, as one of the best in the field. I very much appreciated the deep level of legal knowledge and expertise. I felt well apprised of progress at all times. Additionally Ward is very personable and took a genuine interest in my situation. Purchasing a home has been a better process for me thanks to Ward and his whole team.

    Ward Mazzucco is a highly knowledgeable and capable attorney with excellent people skills. Ward handled a highly contentious case for us, and though our own emotions sometimes got in the way of resolving the issue, it was Ward's calm and deliberate manner that achieved the results we had hoped for. No one is ever happy to be involved in litigation, but Ward Mazzucco's professional approach and knowledge of Connecticut law made for an outcome that couldn't have been better for us. I can't think of another attorney I would rather use.

    Ward has been the attorney for our growing laser processing business for the past 13 or so years. He has consistently provided our business with sound and concise advice and well constructed documents. We have been particularly pleased with the proper balance he has demonstrated between risk management and realistic business considerations. In guiding us through the addition of partners and a meger, Ward has demonstrated that he has the knowledge and skills to help our business from infancy to whatever size we are able to grow the business to.

    Ward and his firm are excellent in all respects, very responsive and timely, all work ever required done on time and accurately. Ward's personal style (affable and reasonable) makes it a pleasure to work with him.

    My firm used Ward Mazzucco for complicated land use entitlements and litigation. We believe that Ward's legal experience, communication skills, and reputation as a leading land use attorney and litigator were instrumental in helping our firm successfully navigate through municipal, tax district, and superior court procedures.

    I have known Ward for over 35 years, since we were classmates at Cornell Law School. We have worked together on a number of matters and I have found him to posses the abilitiies, thoughfulness and legal expertise necessary to be successful in his field and, most importantly, of great service to his clientele. I endorse his services without hesitation.

    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.
