Michael Colonese leads the Plaintiffs Practice Group at Brown Jacobson. Mike is among a select group of Connecticut attorneys who have attained Board Certification by the National Board Trial Advocacy as a Civil Trial Advocate. He is also board certified as a Workers’ Compensation Specialist (fewer than 2% of Connecticut attorneys hold even one of those two designations).. His practice is devoted exclusively to representing plaintiffs and claimants in personal injury, employment, workers’ compensation, and complex litigation matters.. Mike is a lifelong Connecticut resident. He grew up in Shelton and graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a degree in Economics from UConn in 1982, and received his Law Degree with Honors from UConn in 1985. After beginning his law career with the Hartford firm of Day, Berry & Howard (now Day Pitney), Mike joined Brown Jacobson in 1987. He has been the firm’s president since 2000.. Mike is passionate about providing strong advocacy on behalf of the little guy against the big and powerful interests and believes that the best way to assure a fair settlement is by thoroughly preparing every case as if it will be going to trial.

I help people solve problems that matter to them, and make a difference every day.. Along with being an advocate for my client, I am in a unique position to be a counselor as well and provide direction and advice for the future.. I am married to Rachelle, and we have two great kids, and four wonderful grandchildren. We like to get outdoors and enjoy snowboarding, hiking and archery. We no longer have any pets, but have had several cats and one dog.

I care about my clients.  When a client thanks me at the end of their case, it makes me feel like I did a good job and that my client is happy.  This is why I am an attorney.. I focus on family law and personal injury: divorce, child support, visitation and custody;  car accidents and slip and falls.  My office also does real estate closings and wills and probate work.. I am a retired U.S. Navy, Judge Advocate General Corps Commander (O-5).   I have been practicing law since 1985, and have been here in Norwich, Connecticut since 2002.. We do not chage for initial office consultations.  If you have a legal issue and feel you may need the assistance of an attorney, pleaes feel free to call me.. Thank you.
