Welcome to Hartford Legal Group

We are Hartford Lawyers Fighting for Justice for All!

WHY HARTFORD LEGAL GROUP?

Hartford Legal Group is special because we can provide personalized legal services to each of our clients. We work by matching up each new client with one or more of our dedicated legal teams. Unlike some of our oversized competitors, Hartford Legal Group is able to provide personal representation because we can guarantee that the vast majority of the work performed on your case is performed by a Connecticut Lawyer. 

Hartford Legal Group's clients speak directly with their attorneys at each step of their case. 
But don't take our word for it - schedule your free consultation with a Connecticut Lawyer today and discover what Hartford Legal Group has to offer first hand.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE LAW

Hartford Legal Group will review your medical care and records and provide a preliminary opinion regarding whether or not you may have a medical malpractice case at no charge.

Our lawyers will be pleased to demonstrate the value of a small, focused firm by sitting one-on-one with you and clearly communicating the issues and potential outcomes of your medical malpractice case. We strive to always be accessible to our clients and to always be clear and responsive in our communications.

Unfortunately, even in the year 2016, Connecticut hospitals and their staff still leave needles in patients, fail to comply with state laws, and make the wrong surgical cuts. Health care providers can fail to diagnosis cancer even when a cancerous tumor is clearly visible and can neglect to properly treat heart conditions. 

There is nothing more difficult than facing the life changing consequences of medical treatments and procedures alone. 
The lawyers at Hartford Legal Group are ready to stand with you.

Not every bad outcome is medical malpractice; but every bad outcome is worth a closer look.

IMMIGRATION LAW

Hartford Legal Group has over a decade of experience helping immigrants and their families come and stay in the United States of America. 

Our immigration practice is expansive - we help immigrants with everything from Applications for Permanent Residency and Citizenship to Removal Proceedings including Cancellations of Removal and Asylum. Our attorneys are at the cutting edge of the law we practice - for example in April, 2014, Attorney Erin I. O'Neil-Baker traveled to Washington D.C. to discuss immigration reform with members of Congress and to learn about the Department of Homeland Securities latest policies regarding the processing of immigration petitions and applications.  Hartford Legal Group is on top of the developing immigration bill, and we look forward to the day when it becomes the new immigration law - providing new avenues and pathways to both Green Cards and Citizenship.


EMPLOYMENT LAW

Hartford Legal Group has helped many employees who have been wrongfully terminated, underpaid, or discriminated against recover large sums of money from employers who choose to violate Connecticut and Federal employment laws. 
There are many laws in the United States that protect ALL employees - even employees who are employed without a contract or working without work authorization cards. If you believe you are being paid below minimum wage, are being discriminated against, have been fired for the wrong reasons, or your contract is not being adhered to by your employer you may have an employment case.


PERSONAL INJURY LAW

Hartford Legal Group handles personal injury cases including car accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, wrongful death, and medical malpractice. So do over 100 other law firms in Hartford. The difference at Hartford Legal Group is the level of personalized representation. Our attorneys are easy to talk to and will provide straight forward valuations of your injuries so that you can make educated decisions about your legal rights.  Clients normally have two concerns when it comes to their legal rights after an injury - how much monetary compensation they will recover, and how quickly they will receive that money. Hartford Legal Group has succeeded in consistently negotiating favorable settlements at the earliest stages of litigation.

Attorney Erin I. O'Neil-Baker continues to fight for Luis Barrios to have a permanent future in the United States:
​
Luis Barrios, an undocumented father of four from Derby, has been granted a 30-day reprieve on a deportation order that would have forced him to leave the country Thursday morning and return to Guatemala.
A tearful Barrios expressed his gratitude to supporters at a news conference at 5 p.m. Wednesday in front of his two-story home on a quiet street, saying, "I would like to say thank you everybody for supporting me ... God bless you everyone."
Surrounded by family members who also wiped tears from their eyes, Barrios, who fled Guatemala for safety 24 years ago and is a sanitation worker, said that his family has tried to demonstrate "that we are a good family" with the desire to be "good citizens over here."
His lawyer, Erin O'Neil-Baker, said, "We are extremely grateful for everybody's efforts and the family is overwhelmed with joy for this small reprieve."
O'Neil-Baker said the next step for her client, who would have been on a 4 a.m. flight Thursday bound for Guatemala, will be to pursue a motion pending with the Board of Immigration Appeals to reopen the order for Barrios' removal.
"We hope we can work with Immigration and the Department of Homeland Security and ICE to find a resolution here and possibly, hopefully give Mr. Barrios an opportunity to actually hear the merits of his case."
She said the hope is to find a "permanent solution."

Connecticut Immigration Lawyer Erin I. O'Neil-Baker publishes an article to the CT Law Tribune-
