PAUL A. MORELLO, JR.
Born in Middletown, Connecticut, attorney Paul A Morello Jr. has been a lifelong resident of the area. Paul attended Xavier High School, and after graduating cum laude from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1976, he received his law degree from Albany Law School of Union University in Albany, New York. In 1979, he returned to Connecticut and was admitted to the Connecticut bar and Federal District Court for the District of Connecticut.
A Unique Perspective on Connecticut Personal Injury
For many years, Attorney Morello worked as a civil defense lawyer for a number of insurance companies. As a result of this experience, he knows how insurance companies work and that allows him to better represent the victims of accidents in claims against insurers.
In addition, Paul is a well-respected arbitrator who is often called upon by other Connecticut attorneys to act as an arbitrator in deciding their cases.
