About James D.
James D. Bartolini built a foundation in the liberal arts and theology before turning to law. He graduated from Trinity College with a B.A. in 1968 and earned an M.A. from Hartford Seminary in 1970. He then completed his legal training at the University of Connecticut, receiving his J.D. in 1975. Those three degrees mark a steady progression from broad undergraduate study to specialized graduate work and, finally, to the professional credential that launched his legal career.
Bartolini's practice has been centered in Connecticut for many years. After finishing law school he entered the state’s legal community, where he has worked in private practice. Over time he developed familiarity with the courts and legal institutions of the region. He has maintained a career path that keeps him engaged in the state where he trained and was admitted to practice.
He is associated professionally with RisCassi & Davis. At that firm he has worked alongside colleagues on matters that arise in Connecticut courts. His role at the firm reflects a long-term presence in private practice rather than a move into public office or academia. Colleagues describe him as a steady presence in the office and in the courtroom.
Bartolini also maintains current professional memberships. He participates in the networks and organizations customary for a practicing attorney in his jurisdiction. Those memberships have given him opportunities to stay connected to developments in the law and to exchange perspectives with other lawyers in the state.
Outside the office he has combined academic and theological study with practical lawyering. That background informs a measured style in legal work and client communication. He remains based in Connecticut and continues to work at RisCassi & Davis, providing legal services to clients in the state.
He currently practices at RisCassi & Davis, providing legal services in Connecticut.
