Jason E. Tremont

Many attorney biographies focus primarily on awards and credentials, but I believe clients also want to know who they are working with and what matters to that attorney. At Tremont Sheldon PC in Bridgeport, Connecticut, I have built my practice around personal relationships, hard work, and advocating for people who are facing difficult circumstances. I enjoy getting to know my clients, understanding their lives, and helping them move forward after serious injuries or traumatic events. Whether the case involves a defective automobile part, unsafe medical care, or institutional abuse, I am committed to standing beside individuals and families who need a strong voice in the legal system.

I have been connected to Tremont Sheldon for most of my life. Long before becoming an attorney, I spent time around the office helping with day-to-day tasks and listening to conversations about the law and trial work at the dinner table with my father. I later had the privilege of practicing alongside him for seven years before his passing in 1999. From him, I learned the value of preparation, persistence, and treating clients with respect and compassion.

I grew up in Trumbull, Connecticut, attended Fairfield Preparatory School, and later graduated from Dickinson College, where I spent my junior year studying politics and Italian in Bologna, Italy. I earned my law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law. During law school, I worked with prosecutors and participated in ride-alongs with law enforcement, experiences that helped shape my decision to return to Connecticut and focus on representing people who were injured or harmed by the actions of others.

Over the course of my career at Tremont Sheldon PC, I have represented thousands of individuals and families in personal injury matters throughout Connecticut. My practice includes Medical Malpractice Law - Plaintiffs and Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs, as well as cases involving car accidents, dog bites, premises liability, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death claims. I value the long-term relationships I have developed with clients over the years and appreciate the trust they place in me during some of the most challenging periods of their lives.

A significant part of my practice has also involved representing survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Our firm began handling clergy abuse cases in the 1990s, and that work has expanded to include claims involving schools, camps, athletic organizations, and other institutions. I continue to represent survivors seeking accountability from both perpetrators and organizations that failed to protect children from abuse. Helping clients pursue justice in these cases is deeply meaningful to me.

My perspective as a personal injury attorney has also been shaped by my own medical experiences. After undergoing three neurosurgeries involving my neck and back, I understand firsthand the physical pain, emotional strain, and uncertainty that can follow a serious injury. While every recovery is different, those experiences have given me additional insight into what many clients face during treatment, rehabilitation, and the legal process.

I have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® for my work in personal injury law and medical malpractice, and I remain focused on providing thoughtful and personal representation to every client. I approach each case as unique, and I strive to treat clients with the same care, attention, and respect that I would want for my own family. At Tremont Sheldon PC, I continue to represent individuals and families across Bridgeport and throughout Connecticut in serious injury and medical malpractice matters.
