PETER J. PONZIANI
attended Georgetown University where he graduated magna cum laude in 1975 with honors in economics. He received his law degree from the University of Connecticut School of Law in 1978. Shortly after graduation, Mr. Ponziani was appointed to the State’s Attorney’s Office for the State of Connecticut.

Mr. Ponziani worked as a Deputy Assistant State’s Attorney and then as an Assistant State’s Attorney for the State’s Attorney’s Office in the Hartford Judicial District where he prosecuted and tried numerous misdemeanor and felony cases.

Mr. Ponziani successfully prosecuted one of the first cases to be presented under what was then a new statute entitled "manslaughter in the second degree with a motor vehicle." In 1985, Mr. Ponziani joined a Hartford law firm where he specialized in defending a number of insurance companies and their insureds, self-insured corporations and municipalities in various types of litigation including products liability, toxic tort, construction, premises liability, civil rights, automobile accident and uninsured motorist claims.

He has been admitted to practice law in the State of Connecticut and the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and has argued numerous cases before the Connecticut Supreme Court including Springdale Donuts, Inc. v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Co. of Illinois, in which Mr. Ponziani successfully argued that claims of sexual harassment and sexual discrimination in the workplace were not covered by the Aetna’s Workers’ Compensation policy.

Mr. Ponziani has continued these practice concentrations upon joining Litchfield Cavo LLP in 2001. He is a resident partner in Litchfield Cavo LLP’s Greater Hartford office.
