Welcome to my office's Web site. I am a 1980 graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Law and have practiced law in the State of Connecticut since that time. Before opening the Law Office of John T. Scully in October, 2006, I was a partner in the Hartford firm of Cooney, Scully and Dowling and had practiced law in that firm for twenty-six years. During my career, I have been lead counsel in numerous jury and court trials, and have successfully briefed and argued appeals before the Connecticut Supreme Court, Connecticut Appellate Court and Connecticut Workers' Compensation Review Board. I am knowledgeable and have extensive experience representing clients in all types of personal injury cases, including car, motorcycle and truck accidents, medical and legal malpractice, products liability, construction site accidents, dog bite, liquor liability, slip and fall accidents, wrongful arrest, wrongful death, and workers' compensation claims. I also am knowledgeable in criminal law and have successfully defended many different criminal, motor vehicle and driving under the influence of alcohol cases. I also have experience representing clients in real estate sales, purchases and closings, and in various other general legal matters. I have been recognized by the
Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory, the world's leading guide to the legal profession, with its highest "AV" Peer Review Rating. I am proud to report that according to
Martindale-Hubbell, an "AV" rating "is a significant accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence." See
www.martindale.com @ Peer Review Ratings-Explanation of Ratings. My goal is to provide all of my clients with the highest quality legal services in a timely and responsive fashion.
