Suisman Shapiro: The Largest Law Firm In Eastern Connecticut

For over 80 years residents and businesses have relied on our firm.

Since Charles Suisman, Max Shapiro and Louis Wool established themselves as skilled eastern Connecticut attorneys in the 1930s and collaborated in the 1950s to form our firm, we have been protecting the interests of average citizens. As our firm has grown, our attorneys have continued to offer innovative, effective solutions for legal problems. Residents and businesses in Connecticut have responded – Suisman Shapiro is now the largest law firm headquartered in eastern Connecticut.

Even when Mr. Suisman was joined by partners Max Shapiro and Louis Wool in the 1950s, a general practice attorney could still handle most matters capably. Since then the law has changed. In order to offer comprehensive and effective counsel for today’s more complex legal environment, each of our attorneys now focuses on specific practice areas.

Today, Suisman Shapiro is led by Managing Director Eric Callahan and Chief Operating Officer Linda Grelotti, whose dynamic and collaborative leadership drives the firm’s continued growth and success. With a clear vision and a deep commitment to excellence, they foster a culture of integrity, innovation, and client-focused service across all departments. Their ability to unite diverse teams and guide strategic initiatives has made them instrumental in achieving Suisman Shapiro’s reputation as a premier law firm in the region.
