Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon
Personal Injury, Criminal Defense and Worker’s Compensation Attorneys
A Legacy of Service

Since the law firm of Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon, located in New Haven, Connecticut, was founded 1967, we have been following a legacy of legal service begun by Israel Jacobs in 1918. Our three lawyers, Steven Jacobs, Richard Jacobs and John Shannon are an experienced team of trial lawyers who fight for clients who need criminal defense, who suffered injuries or employment discrimination at work or because of another person’s negligence, or who are seeking effective family law counsel. Our areas of practice include:

Personal Injury
Our personal injury lawyers can help you if you have been injured in any type of accident caused by another party’s carelessness, recklessness, or violence. Our Office has been representing the rights of victims of personal injury for nearly 40 years.

Family Law
Our lawyers can advise and represent you when you are facing the difficult issues of divorce, child custody and visitation, spousal support, and property settlement issues.

Medical Malpractice 
Medical malpractice laws in Connecticut are designed to compensate you for losses caused by the negligence of doctors, nurses, hospital staff, or other health care providers. We can help you if you have been hurt because of:

  • Misdiagnosis, Delayed Diagnosis, or Failure to Diagnose
  • Misread X-rays
  • Birth Injuries
  • Surgical Errors
  • Drug Interactions

You have a right to recover damages for lost wages, medical costs, long-term care, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering resulting from the negligence of doctors and other medical personnel.

Criminal Law
It is not our business to pass judgment on you. It is our job to see that your rights are protected and that the government is kept honest in their dealings with citizens. We will carefully examine your case and explain the law so that you can make an informed decision. Our attorneys have extensive experience in criminal law and will fight hard for your best defense.

Worker’s Compensation
Attorneys from Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon will fight to ensure that you receive all workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled if you’ve been injured on the job. We file and prosecute your claim for benefits, are tough negotiators when seeking your settlement, and we are always prepared to take your disputed claim to trial, if necessary.

Employment Law
Jacobs, Jacobs & Shannon can provide you with the legal representation you need if you have been a victim of any kind of employment discrimination, including sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and wage and hour discrimination.
