Before starting his own office, A. Paul Spinella practiced law with one of Connecticut's most prominent law firms where he was a partner in charge of litigation. During that time he represented many of the state's largest insurance companies before developing his present plaintiffs-based practice.. A particular area of Attorney Spinella's practice is the area of criminal trial and appellate practice. He is the author ofConnecticut Criminal Procedure, a 1,000-page textbook that examines the history, development, and existing state of the law of criminal procedure. First published in 1985, this text was the result of four years of labor—it has recently been supplemented two times and is presently undergoing additional revisions.. In addition to his scholarly pursuits, Attorney Spinella is a litigator who has had enormous experience in the trenches-in the area of criminal defense he has a long history representing individuals accused of white collar and violent offenses during the pre-trial and trial stages of prosecution, as well as appeals of criminal convictions and post-conviction attacks by way of habeas corpus claims.. As a result of his zealous defense of the citizen accused, Attorney Spinella has developed a substantial practice prosecuting claims on behalf of citizens who have had their rights violated by law enforcement, municipalities, government agencies and officials, and powerful corporate interests. His practice also includes complex civil damage lawsuits involving claims of negligence such as professional malpractice and defective product claims, as well as personal injury lawsuits of all types, particularly wrongful death claims.. Attorney Spinella has lectured widely in the areas of plaintiffs' rights, police misconduct and civil rights, and criminal defense issues. In addition, he has participated in numerous professional organizations devoted to these and related areas. For example, he is a longtime member of the Connecticut Bar Association, where he served as a member of the House of Delegates. He is presently a member of the Executive Committee of the Civil Rights Section and has previously served as Chairman; during his tenure as Chairman he organized and chaired a highly regarded seminar that greatly influenced the development of state Constitutional jurisprudence. He has also served previously and presently on a number of other State Bar Committees such as the Executive Committee of the Criminal Justice Section and the Executive Committee of the Professional Responsibility Section. He is also a member of the Hartford Bar Association (where he presently serves on the Scholarship Fund) as well as a number of other state and national organizations devoted to civil and criminal trial practice such as the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association (former chair of Lawyer's Assistance Task Force) and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (Lifetime member). He is also active in the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association.. Throughout his career, Attorney Spinella has experience in a wide range of plaintiffs' cases, particularly in the areas of individual rights as well as in cases involving the criminally accused. He feels strongly that there are two types of courtroom advocates —litigators and trial lawyers. A trial lawyer cares about results and will go to the mat to vindicate his client's rights because he believes in what he does and sees himself as a member of a profession with a great history; for a civil rights lawyer, the "business of law" always follows the need to advance the goals of a noble profession. Attorney Spinella is a trial lawyer.. He is a graduate of Trinity College and the University of Connecticut Law School where he served as an associate editor of the Law Review and as a member of the National Moot Court Team. Following law school he served an appointment as a law clerk to a Federal District Court judge.

For the past 30 years Andy has been representing people who have suffered life-changing events through no fault of their own. He has represented clients injured as a result of aviation accidents, catastrophic automobile and truck collisions, medical malpractice, defective products, including prescription and over the counter medications, premises liability and police misconduct.. In order to consistently achieve the best results for his clients, Andy brings his ethic of hard work and sense of fairness to his representation. He strongly believes in the firm's credo that "the best interests of the client always comes first." It is this belief and sense of doing what is right that has led him to offer services to clients that go far beyond his office practice, including pro bono representation of victims of the 911 terrorist attacks, service on the Board of the Connecticut Traumatic Brain Injury Association and countless hours spent advocating for injured citizens before the state General Assembly.. Andy is proud to have been a trial lawyer for the past 30 years and has tried numerous cases in State and Federal courts in all areas of the State of Connecticut.

Over the years, Andy has used his experience as a trial lawyer to achieve many favorable verdicts and settlements for his clients. Some of his more noteworthy and satisfying cases include obtaining settlements and verdicts that assured financial security for a father of two who was rendered a quadriplegic when struck by a teenage driver during a high speed police chase through city streets, obtaining compensation sufficient to meet the future needs of babies born with massive brain damage as the result of medical errors, securing sufficient funds to care for the needs of a young woman who suffered such devastating injuries in an automobile collision that she would never again be able to care for herself, helping many women injured by defective products like the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device and defective drugs such as DES. What keeps Andy going is knowing that he is helping those who are most in need level the playing field when dealing with large corporations or insurance companies..
