Free Initial Consultation

West Hartford Attorney James Aspell

At the West Hartford, Connecticut law office of attorney James F. Aspell, P.C., I provide a wide range of legal services for the people of Hartford County. From compassionate legal help when you or a family member is facing disability, injury or bankruptcy to prompt and accurate transactions in the purchase or sale of a home. You can count on my knowledge, skill and experience in court or at the negotiating table.

Contact the Law Offices of James F. Aspell for prompt legal help. Your initial consultation is free and my phone is answered 24 hours a day.

Social Security Benefits, SSDI and SSI

Social Security Disability and Supplemental Security Income are supposed to be a safety net that provides for workers and citizens if they become sick or disabled and cannot work. Unfortunately, the Social Security Administration denies a majority of first-time disability claims.

Don’t take their “no” for your answer. Persistence pays off when applying for SSDI or SSI. Whether your disability is the result of a workplace injury and follows after a workers’ compensation claim, or you were injured in a car accident, developed cancer, or suffer from a chronic condition like arthritis, mental illness, or heart disease, you are likely to be eligible for SSDI or SSI.

If you’ve been denied Social Security benefits when you should have been approved, contact me, a Hartford Social Security lawyer for help with your SSI or SSDI appeal. The majority of people who continue to apply and appeal do eventually receive Social Security Disability payments. It is a very fact-specific process. As an experienced Hartford Social Security lawyer, I understand the ins and outs of SSI and SSDI eligibility and can help you with an effective appeal.

Affordable Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Many people think that changes in the bankruptcy law means they no longer qualify. That is not true. Most people who are considering bankruptcy are still eligible to file, even under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

When you’re looking for a Connecticut bankruptcy attorney to help you file Chapter 7, contact the Law Office of James F. Aspell. I provide prompt and affordable legal help with bankruptcy filing that:

  • Prevents home foreclosure (in many cases)
  • Stops creditor harassment
  • Discharges large medical bills and unsecured credit card debt
  • Reduces your monthly payments so you can get back on your feet

Personal Injury Claims

I provide compassionate legal help and aggressive courtroom representation for people who’ve suffered serious personal injury—broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and soft tissue injuries—or the loss of a loved one. I have jury trial experience and am prepared to handle the matter from start to finish.

  • Car accident
  • Trucking accident
  • Motorcycle accident
  • Slip-and-fall accident
  • Accidents caused by uninsured and underinsured motorists
  • Wrongful death

Prior work experience in the insurance industry means I am intimately familiar with the claims process and have good working relationships with many insurance companies. By understanding how insurance companies make decisions and settle claims, I am prepared to develop a strong case to help get my clients the financial compensation they need for their injuries and losses.

Real Estate Transactions and Disputes

I assist residential buyers and sellers with the purchase, sale or refinance of a home or multi-family home. I provide closing services and am approved by most banks and mortgage companies in Hartford County. I am an agent for First American and Connecticut Attorneys Title Co. I also represent landlords in landlord-tenant disputes.
