HARTFORD, Connecticut - 10/9/2023

Quintairos, Prieto, Wood, & Boyer P.A., a leading national law firm, is thrilled to announce the opening of its new office in Connecticut. This strategic move is in line with the firm's unique tagline, "It's all about different," emphasizing its commitment to bringing diverse perspectives and innovative approaches to the legal industry.

The Connecticut office will be spearheaded by the esteemed Gerald V. Davino, II, who brings with him nearly three decades of trial experience. Mr. Davino's expertise lies in civil litigation, with a particular focus on workers' compensation defense. Over the years, he has amassed extensive trial experience handling insurance claims, workers' compensation defense and subrogation matters, and general litigation. His prowess extends to arbitration and mediation matters. In 2012, he was honored with the prestigious designation of Certified Litigation Management Professional (CLMP) from the CLM's Litigation Management Institute held at Columbia University Law School.

In light of this exciting development, firm Managing Partner, Eric Boyer, remarked, "Gerald Davino has been a workers' compensation stronghold in Connecticut for decades. We are very excited to further build jerry's workers compensation practice in this new market and based on Jerry's abilities and connections, we have no doubt he will be able to create a new client base for our national workers comp practice. Jerry also has the leadership and relationship skills to create an office that recruits attorneys in other practice areas to further grow our presence in Connecticut."

Mr. Davino's expertise is not just confined to the courtroom. He is a sought-after speaker, regularly engaging with employers, insurance carriers, third-party administrators, and brokers nationwide on risk management issues, claims handling, defense strategies, and Connecticut Workers' Compensation matters. His notable speaking engagements and publications further solidify his authority in the field.

"I've spent almost 30 years forging strong relationships and partnerships with colleagues and clients around the country, and moving to a firm like QPWB will allow us to maximize those relationships for both my clients and the firm. Having offices in so many states and offering our clients a full range of legal services is a win-win for everyone," said Davino.

This expansion is particularly significant for the firm's workers' compensation practice area. With the Connecticut office, the firm aims to take a more nationalized approach, ensuring that clients across different locations receive a different standard of care and attention when it comes to legal matters. This nationalized presence will enable the firm to better understand and cater to the diverse needs of its clients, further solidifying its reputation as a trailblazer in the industry that is breaking the mold on what it means Lawyer Differently(R) as a national defense firm.

Davino closed with a reflection on the level of care people with receive from the Connecticut Office saying, 'Different' means to me that our clients can expect to get the best service, the best response time, and the best legal services that won't simply be the boilerplate ideas and level of attention they may be accustomed to with other law firms," closed Davino.

Joining Davino as founding members of the office will be, James J. Babek as an Associate Attorney and Michael T. Feola also an Associate Attorney. They are supported by Paralegals, Lindsey Stross and Cheryl A Brooks.
