Tina Sypek D'Amato - Danielson, CT

Tina Sypek D'Amato has always been fascinated by criminal law, studying subjects related to criminal investigations, forensic science, psychology, and the law.

Tina has an undergraduate degree in Law Enforcement Science which she achieved high honors throughout, was invited to join the Alpha, Sigma, and Lambda Honors Society, and was chosen for the National Dean's Honor List. She participated in an independent study with Dr. Karazulas in Forensic Odontology. He is the forensic scientist who cracked the famous wood-chipper case in Connecticut. She also participated in an internship with the New Haven Prosecutor's Office as an investigator.

When she graduated, she was immediately accepted to Quinnipiac College School of Law, where she again made honors and participated in two internships with Danbury and Waterbury Public Defender's Offices participating in research and writing and arguments to the court and second-chair in trials with Part A.

From Law School, Tina immediately began working for attorneys in town who practiced criminal and civil law in both state and federal courts. She second chaired several trials from assault 1st. to murder and kidnapping.

When she was admitted to the bar, Tina immediately opened an office of her own, with an emphasis on criminal defense and simple car accident cases. To date, Tina has represented persons charged with criminal offenses of all sorts, in both the civil and criminal arenas, including but not limited to, gun cases, drug cases, murder, manslaughter, domestic violence, assault, robbery, larceny, sexual assault, child molestation and reckless endangerment, motor vehicle cases, DUI, pardons, parole hearings, probation violations, and habeas corpus. In addition, she has had many successful dispositions, including dismissals, nolle, and substitutions of minor crimes for more serious crimes, many times avoiding sex offender convictions and registration. She is not afraid to go to trial or speak up in court.
