Ryan Ryan Deluca LLP is pleased to announce that four of its attorneys have been selected for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America^© for 2017.  Best Lawyers^® ranks lawyers through peer - review surveys, and has been published annually since 1983.

Charles A. Deluca has been named the 2017 "Lawyer of the Year" in the practice area of Personal Injury Litigation - Defendants in Stamford, CT. Only one lawyer in each category in each community receives this honor.

The Connecticut Appellate Court affirmed a decision of the Superior Court, granting a motion for summary judgment filed by RRD Associate, Peter DeMartini, on behalf of a local attorney. The vexatious litigation and abuse of process claims against the attorney and codefendants, his former clients, arose from a neighborhood dispute concerning the location and the plaintiffs’ later forcible removal of a stanchion holding the neighborhood mailboxes.

Kevin M. Tepas, Esq. of Ryan Ryan Deluca LLP in Stamford, CT was recently inducted into the International Academy of Trial Lawyers (IATL) at their Annual Meeting held April 2-6, 2016. 

We are proud to be one of the founding firms of the Connecticut Defense Lawyers Association. Robert (left), Michael (right), and Charles Deluca (not pictured) are past presidents and James (middle) is currently the treasurer and on the executive committee.

The Connecticut Defense Lawyers Association ("CDLA") is a voluntary, not-for-profit, statewide organization of civil defense attorneys that has been in operation since 1991.

RRD Associate Michael Barbarula recently obtained the dismissal of a claim brought against their client by a tenant accusing them of failing to provide a reasonable accommodation in violation of the federal Fair Housing Act and its Connecticut counterpart.

RRD attorneys obtained summary judgment in a medical malpractice lawsuit based only on alleged lack of informed consent. The case involves the alleged failure of a plastic surgeon to adequately inform a patient of the risks associated with “TRAM flap” (trans-rectus abdominal muscle) reconstruction of the breasts following mastectomy for breast cancer. Plaintiff underwent a two-stage reconstruction procedure by the defendant in September and October, 2010. In January, 2011, she was hospitalized for post-operative delayed wound healing and infection.
