Practice Areas
Personal Injury
Alfano & Flynn handles personal injury and auto accident matters for clients throughout Hartford County and North-Central Connecticut. These cases involve the full arc of representation from the initial claim through settlement or trial, covering medical expenses, lost income, and the other measurable consequences of injuries caused by another party’s negligence.
Auto accidents are a core category of this work, and the firm has the litigation depth to take contested cases through to resolution when insurance negotiations do not produce fair outcomes.
Wills and Probate
Estate planning and probate administration require careful attention to a client’s specific family circumstances, asset structure, and long-term goals. Alfano & Flynn handles will preparation and the probate process for clients in the region. Probate can be a procedurally complex process, particularly when an estate involves real property, business interests, or disputes among beneficiaries. The firm’s 75-plus years in the community means its attorneys have handled probate matters across multiple generations of Connecticut families.
Real Estate
Real estate transactions, from residential purchases to commercial closings, involve title work, contract review, mortgage documentation, and coordination across multiple parties. The firm handles real estate matters for both individual and institutional clients, reflecting experience on both sides of the transaction table. Its list of institutional clients includes banks and savings institutions that rely on real estate legal work as a core part of their operations.
Zoning and Land Use
Land use and zoning matters require knowledge of local regulations, planning board procedures, and the legal framework that governs how property can be developed or used. The firm handles zoning and land use cases in Hartford County and North-Central Connecticut, representing clients who are seeking approvals, contesting decisions, or working through the regulatory requirements that accompany development projects.
Corporate and Business Law
Alfano & Flynn represents a roster of corporate and institutional clients across Hartford County. The firm’s business law practice covers the legal needs of companies in multiple industries, from real estate development to trucking to manufacturing. The range of institutional clients the firm serves reflects a breadth of corporate legal work that goes well beyond a single sector or transaction type.
Criminal Defense
The firm handles criminal defense matters for clients in Hartford County. Criminal cases require an attorney who knows local courts and prosecutors, and the firm’s long history in the region provides that institutional familiarity. The practice covers the range of criminal matters that arise in Connecticut courts.
Divorce
Family law representation, including divorce, is part of what Alfano & Flynn offers. Divorce matters in Connecticut involve property division, support, and, where children are involved, custody and parenting arrangements. The firm’s long history of representing individuals and families in the region extends into this practice area.
Attorney Profiles
Charles T. Alfano Jr. carries forward the firm’s founding legacy, having succeeded Charles T. Alfano Sr. (1920-2016), who established the practice in 1948. The continuity from father to son across more than seven decades represents one of the more unusual stories in Connecticut’s legal community.
Joseph W. Flynn serves alongside Alfano as co-managing attorney of the firm. Flynn’s practice covers the same range of matters the firm has offered throughout its history.
Together, Alfano and Flynn run a firm that has served generation after generation of clients in the same geographic area, accumulating the kind of institutional knowledge that only comes from sustained presence in a community over decades.

Client Focus
Alfano & Flynn serves two distinct client populations that reinforce each other. On one side: individuals and families seeking legal help with personal injury, estate planning, real estate closings, divorce, and criminal matters. On the other: banks, credit unions, developers, and businesses that need reliable legal counsel for their ongoing operations.
The firm’s 75-plus years in the same geographic area means it has served multiple generations of the same families and multiple decades of the same institutions. That continuity is not incidental to the practice. It is how trust is built and maintained in a legal community where reputation is tested over time.
