This holiday season, the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association (CTLA) Women's Caucus is organizing a drive to benefit BHcare, a regional nonprofit organization that provides a comprehensive and integrated system of care for adults, children and families who are struggling with mental health issues, substance use issues and domestic violence. The BHcare family of services includes: The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services, Parent Child Resource Center, and Alliance for Prevention and Wellness.
You can help fight the battle against domestic violence by donating to My Sister's Place - a unique family thrift shop located in Ansonia, CT, that is run by BHcares. The shop sells new or "gently used" clothing, furniture, and household items to the public at discount prices. We are looking for items to donate to My Sister's Place including quality new and/or "gently used" family clothing and shoes, appliances, housewares, small furniture, toys, holiday decorations and many other similar items.
BHcare also provides vouchers to the victims of domestic violence that they work with so that they can get a fresh start at My Sister's Place after experiencing life altering events.
Please consider donating any of the above unwanted but quality items for this worthy cause (please note that they do not accept stuffed animals or infant car seats due to health and safety regulations).
Or consider a donation and make check payable to: BH Care and Write in Memo "My Sister's Place".

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!!!
- Jamie B.
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.
- Robert T.
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.
- Valerie
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!
- Richard
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!
- The Yanellis
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.
