Firm History & Philosophy

A Tradition of Excellence, a Commitment to Success

Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder, PC, is a nationally known Connecticut law firm described by The Hartford Courant as "reputedly the best plaintiff's law firm in the state." Serving the public for more than 70 years, KK&B handles cases throughout Connecticut. On some occasions, we work in association with cooperating attorneys on cases in New England and throughout the nation from our offices in Bridgeport, Danbury, Stamford and New Haven.

KK&B was founded in 1936 by Theodore I. Koskoff (1913-1987), a former president of the American Association for Justice.

Experienced, Ethical, Professional

Over the years, KK&B has emerged as one of the leading trial law firms in the country. We are particularly well known as accomplished medical malpractice lawyers. The attorneys at Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder are experienced, ethical and professional. That is why we are recognized by others as leaders in our field.

Our team of trial lawyers handles cases for individuals, groups and businesses who have suffered serious injuries or losses. To learn more about our firm, please visit the following pages:

Our philosophy is to provide quality legal representation, caring and responsive client service and exceptional results to a limited number of clients. We limit the number of cases we accept so that we can focus a great deal of time and energy on each client. You will never be just another case file at our firm.

Making Quality Legal Representation Affordable for All

We represent the great majority of our clients on a contingency fee basis. That means our law firm pays all upfront fees and costs. Our clients pay nothing unless and until we obtain financial compensation in the form of a verdict or settlement of their legal claim. We receive a percentage of whatever compensation we obtain for you. If we don't win financial compensation, you pay nothing. There is no risk to find out if you have an actionable legal claim.

Whether you need a medical malpractice attorney, a personal injury lawyer or a law firm experienced in civil rights or commercial litigation, please don't hesitate to e-mail the firm or call for a free consultation if you feel you may have a case.
