Robert L. Schwab

I was born and raised in New Haven and attended Choate Rosemary Hall before graduating from Amherst College in 1982. I earned my law degree from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 1990. Before pursuing a legal career, I worked at Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford, Connecticut, as a purchasing representative and later served as a subcontract administrator in their Long Beach, California, West Coast Field Office. Prior to joining Kennedy, Johnson, Schwab & Roberge, I worked as a trial attorney for the staff counsel’s office of Allstate Insurance Company. My practice focuses on representing individuals injured in automobile and trucking accidents, premises and product liability cases, as well as workers’ compensation matters. While personal injury litigation is the primary focus of my work, I also handle criminal defense cases in state court. Since 2007, I have been honored to be selected annually by my peers for inclusion in the Connecticut Magazine Super Lawyers publication in the area of personal injury litigation. I am also a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an organization that limits its membership to leading trial attorneys dedicated to advancing the civil jury trial and promoting integrity, civility, and professionalism in the legal field. I am an active participant in the New Haven County Bar Association and the Connecticut Bar Association, and I serve on the Board of Governors of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. I am admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Connecticut, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.
