Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers Opens New Office in Hartford
One of fastest-growing personal injury law firms in Connecticut now serving clients from spacious new office in historically registered building on Congress Street
Hartford, Conn. August 19, 2009 -- Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers, a fast-growing law firm that exclusively represents individuals who have suffered injuries, has opened a third office location in downtown Hartford.
The new office is located at One Congress Street, Fourth Floor, across the street from the Hartford Hospital. Perkins' firm occupies the entire top floor of the four-story building, which is registered as a historic building in the State of Connecticut.
"We're very excited about the opening of our third office in Connecticut because it will strengthen our ability to serve the needs of clients in the Hartford area," said Jonathan Perkins, the founding partner. "We've chosen to limit our practice to personal injury law, which means that, unlike most other law firms, the entire Perkins firm is organized to take special care of clients who have been injured due to the negligence and wrongful acts of others."
According to Perkins, Paul Clyons, an attorney with more than 30 years of experience as a litigator, including extensive work representing individuals with both personal injury and workers' compensation claims, is to be based full-time in the new Hartford office. The office is also staffed by a team leader and four full-time case managers.
"Our dedicated case management team is comprised of 25 full-time employees throughout the firm who monitor each case file daily and reach out to each client every two weeks with updates," explained Perkins.
Founded in 2005 and based in the New Haven, Conn. area, the Perkins law firm is among the fastest-growing personal injury firms in the state of Connecticut. The firm also maintains an office in the Bridgeport, Conn. area.
Although all types of injured clients may be helped, Perkins lawyers mainly focus on cases involving auto accidents, defective products, dog bites, lead poisoning, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, premises liability, slip and fall, and wrongful death.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is investigating an influential baby-products trade group that allowed its safety seal to be used on millions of cribs later recalled for deadly flaws. Using Illinois's broad consumer fraud statutes, Madigan is taking on the powerful group that parents for years have turned to for assurances of safety. The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, which represents 250 makers and importers of nursery products in North America, received subpoenas Monday for all internal documents that shed light on its safety certification program.

TALLAHASSEE | Marco Rubio wants Americans to work longer and to retire later to places like Florida, a stand that has drawn criticism from his Senate rivals and unnerves some in the Sunshine State, where one out of every seven residents gets a Social Security check. As the nation grapples with the fast-growing insolvency of entitlement programs, likely Republican nominee Rubio has proposed raising the retirement age and cutting benefits to younger workers. Rubio wants to raise the full-retirement age, which now ranges from 65 to 67 depending on a person's birth year, until it reaches 70 in the next century. He would exempt people now older than 55.

For 13 years, a woman who the police say was raped and impregnated at the age of 15 by a member of her Concord church kept her story to herself. This year, a Facebook group helped her come forward. The woman, who said leaders of Trinity Baptist Church helped move her to Colorado after she revealed she was pregnant, said in a statement to the police that she thought her case was an isolated one until she read similar stories on the internet. "This is the first time I have seen that I am not alone and that there are other victims out there that need to be heard!" she said. "This is the first time in my life that I have started to see and believe how wrongly all of these situations have been handled, and that I'm not the one who should feel guilty over any of this because this is not my fault."
