Despite her reputation as one of Connecticut’s Top Trial Lawyers, Mary Ann’s success is attributable in large part to the fact that her clients consider her a compassionate advisor.  She founded ACK to provide her clients with personal attention in a small firm environment.  ACK employs a team approach to ensure the best legal representation for a maximum recovery. 

“I have always tried to treat people the way I want to treated—with respect, kindness and compassion. I have found that listening is one of the most important skills, especially in the legal profession.  Sometimes people just need to tell their story and have someone listen to them.  While I can’t take my clients’ pain away, I can use my legal skills to allow them to focus on healing, while I navigate through the legal process for them.”

Mary Ann grew up in Middletown where she attended Mercy High School.  She graduated from the University of Connecticut, Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude. Mary Ann enjoys spending time with family and friends.  She lives in Cromwell with her husband of 35 years, Craig, and has a son, Matthew, who lives locally as well.
