Biography

Attorney Dan Petroskey represents individuals and families in personal injury matters throughout Connecticut from the offices of DeFronzo & Petroskey PC in Waterbury, Connecticut. Admitted to the Connecticut Bar in 2004, Dan has devoted his practice to Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs, helping clients pursue compensation after injuries caused by negligence.

Over the course of his career, Dan has represented thousands of injured clients in matters involving motor vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, premises liability claims, and dog bite incidents. He is committed to providing attentive and compassionate legal representation while guiding clients through every stage of the legal process.

Dan believes effective representation starts with understanding the challenges clients face after a serious injury. He takes the time to listen to each client’s concerns, explain their legal options clearly, and develop strategies tailored to the facts of their case. His approach combines detailed case preparation with responsive client service focused on protecting his clients’ interests.

Dan’s history with DeFronzo & Petroskey PC reflects his longstanding commitment to the firm and its clients.
