Anderson Trial Lawyers, a Norwich-based firm, has welcomed Ashley Giannetti as a new attorney, according to a community announcement.
Giannetti will focus on workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, succeeding Michael L. Anderson, who was recently appointed as an administrative law judge on the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission.
“Ashley has shown a strong commitment to professionalism and the pursuit of just results for injured people, and we are proud to welcome her to the Anderson Trial Lawyers team,” said Principal Chris Anderson. “We’re confident that her expertise will strengthen our firm and the work we do on behalf of our clients.”

Giannetti, a trial attorney with local roots, has been practicing law in Pennsylvania since 2014. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Kalamazoo College in Michigan and a Juris Doctor degree from the Thomas R. Kline School of Law of Duquesne University in Pennsylvania.
She has served mostly as defense counsel for clients in personal injury, employment matters, contract and commercial disputes. Her experience includes representing clients in state and federal courts in Pennsylvania and working for international defense firms.
Chris Anderson expressed pride in his brother and colleague, Michael L. Anderson, on his appointment to the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission.
“It is hard to lose a brother/colleague/attorney after two decades at Anderson Trial Lawyers after trying multiple difficult trials together, but this appointment to the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Commission is the well-earned result of his tireless work to ensure that the injured workers he represented were compensated fairly,” Chris Anderson said. “The people of Connecticut are getting a gem. I consider him to be one of the best attorneys in the state regarding workers’ compensation law. He will shine in this new role, and I wish him the best of luck.”
Anderson Trial Lawyers was founded in 1988 by Carl D. Anderson, a former president of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. His two sons later joined him at the firm as second-generation partners.
The firm has assisted Eastern Connecticut residents in personal injury, products liability, wrongful death and workers’ compensation claims, following the core values of compassion, commitment and community.
