About The Firm
Back in 1881, a young lawyer named John Wynne opened a law office in Connecticut, starting a family tradition of striving to provide excellent legal service. In 1986, fourth-generation lawyer John Wynne, Jr. joined with John Buckley in a legal practice that concentrates all the firm’s experience, energy, and resources on helping personal injury victims and the families of wrongful death victims. John Parese joined the firm in 2007. Our practice areas include personal injury, wrongful death, and professional malpractice.
There is no cost or obligation for our professional analysis of your claim. All our personal injury cases are taken on a contingency fee basis, which means that if we are unable to recover anything, there is no charge for our legal services or expenses. At the time of settlement or judgment, we receive a percentage of the recovery plus related expenses, which is agreed upon before we begin work on your case.
At Buckley Wynne & Parese, the law partners do the work. Your file will not be passed on to another attorney. Every case is handled by an attorney. With Buckley Wynne & Parese, you get the experience and concern of seasoned personal injury attorneys who work to minimize your worries while obtaining the best results for your personal injury claim. We will meet you in our offices, at your home, or in your hospital room. We are available at your convenience.
Buckley Wynne & Parese has represented clients in state, federal, and appellate courts including the Connecticut Supreme Court. They are members of the American Association for Justice (Formerly the American Trial Lawyers Association), the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, the American Bar Association, Connecticut Bar Association, the New Haven County Bar Association and have served as lecturers for various organizations throughout Connecticut.
Buckley Wynne & Parese attorneys are actively involved in various community service projects through the Bar Association and otherwise, including programs to mentor inner city youth, volunteer legal services at local libraries, raise money and diapers for the Connecticut Diaper Bank, local homeless shelters, and various other charitable organizations. Giving back is an important part of who we are.

Client Reviews of Our Personal Injury Attorneys
Friendly, professional and VERY responsive!
Attorney John Buckley was highly recommended to me by quite a few people and upon my first meeting to discuss my case, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. He took his time to explain everything to me in great detail and stayed in communication throughout my entire case. His staff was also extremely friendly, professional and VERY responsive! I actually never had to reach out about my case because they over-communicated with me from beginning to end. My accident was very unfortunate, but I’m extremely grateful I was working with Attorney Buckley through it all! I highly recommend this law firm!!!

Respectful, extremely knowledgeable, & understanding
Recently engaged BWP concerning a motor vehicle accident. From the initial consult, and continuing throughout the entire process, John Parese and the entire staff were respectful, extremely knowledgeable, understanding of my goals and supportive to work towards achieving the best possible outcome. It was a very seamless, friendly relationship and a firm that I would highly recommend to anyone.

Couldn’t have been happier with the services I received!
I contacted BWP in June 2019, after I was hit by a drunk driver. John Wynne was my attorney. I couldn’t have been happier with the services I received. Everyone I dealt with was very professional and made sure I had all the help I needed. I highly recommend this law firm.

Quick and consistent.
John Buckley was quick and consistent in relaying information to me regarding litigation, and he and his staff were always very supportive of any requests I made. John’s experience and strategic expertise made the difference in dealing with the insurance company, and we achieved the best possible outcome thanks to his vigilance. Cannot recommend BWP highly enough!

Thorough, caring, and patient.
I don't have the words to describe how wonderful John Parese was to work with. He took my family and I under his wing during a difficult time. He was by our side for 3 years while I was treated. He was thorough, caring, and patient. He was always there to answer questions and made us feel that he was in our corner. John explained our options and walked us through the process many times. It was WAY outside of my comfort zone to go to litigation, but he believed in me and my case. He was phenomenal in court and I was very proud to be part of his team. We are forever thankful and would recommend him to anyone!

Kind, patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable.
John Parese is an excellent attorney who provided care that was needed at an extremely difficult and a long period of time. He and his team are very dedicated and gave professional guidance in various aspects. I am very grateful for having received a degree of release for the painful accident, and trauma which was unfortunate and terrifying. Mr. Parese is very kind, patient, honest and extremely knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend his help to people in need.

Excellent attorney who always fights to protect his clients.
John has assisted me with several issues. He is an excellent attorney who always fights to protect his clients. I was able to recover medically knowing John was fully handling the insurance and issues with my case. I will continue to use him in the future.
