At The Law offices of James F. Aspell, I practice with experience that gets results. Since 1986, I have helped Connecticut individuals, Claims Professionals  and small businesses with a wide range of legal needs.

I am one of the few original attorneys certified as a specialist in Worker's Compensation Law by the State of Connecticut and I devote a substantial part of my practice to representing the workers of this State. Be it an injury, an illness or a heart and hypertension claim, be assured your matter will be handled competently by an attorney who understands that you are hurting and will work with you to maximize the benefits you are entitled to under the law. I am an approved panel attorney for a large number of labor unions and hold the coveted "Recommended Insurance Attorney " designation from the A.M. Best Company.

In the area of personal injury litigation I have handled a wide range of cases throughout the State. I have extensive jury trial experience to see your matter through.

If you are a landlord, I also maintain a landlord tenant practice in Hartford and will handle your summary process case from start to finish.

Finally, I maintain an affordable Chapter 7 bankruptcy practice. "I am a debt relief agency and help people obtain relief from their debts by filing for protection under the Bankruptcy Code." Many people are still eligible to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy under the new laws and I would welcome your inquiry to discuss your situation.
