Alinor Sterling

Alinor Sterling is tireless in her efforts to expand and develop the law so that an injured client will recover. She works on complex cases, both in the trial court and on appeal. She has represented clients injured by defective products, as well as by the carelessness of corporations and individuals. She has also worked on behalf of clients injured on vacation and while traveling overseas, cases that are often made more difficult by the fact that the client was injured far from Connecticut.

Alinor has been instrumental in several important appellate wins.

She is an integral member of the team working on behalf of Sandy Hook families in a case against Remington Arms Company, the manufacturer of the weapon used to carry out the assault.

She recently teamed with Antonio Ponvert on an important case in the Connecticut Supreme Court. A landmark personal injury verdict was upheld by the Court, which held that a school organizing a student trip abroad has a duty to of care to the students on the trip, preserving and confirming the importance of the general duty to protect students from unnecessary dangers. The $41.5 million verdict is the highest personal injury verdict ever sanctioned by the Connecticut Supreme Court.

Earlier in her career, Alinor served as a law clerk to the Honorable Lourdes G. Baird of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
