About Mark D.
Mark D. Colson studied economics as an undergraduate and went on to earn his law degree in the mid-2000s. He graduated from the University of Connecticut with a B.A. in Economics in 2003. Four years later he received his J.D. from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 2007. The combination of economics and law shaped his early approach to legal problems—methodical and attentive to numbers as well as to precedent.
After law school he became licensed to practice in Connecticut. He has spent his professional life working within the state’s legal system. Over the years he developed practical experience advising individuals and businesses, counseling clients through routine matters and more contested ones. He has handled filings and appearances across Connecticut courts and administrative forums.
Colson draws on his economics training when assessing contractual disputes, damages questions and settlement strategy. He pays close attention to the financial underpinnings of cases and tries to present them in clear terms for judges, opposing counsel and clients. He prefers to set out the relevant figures early, so that legal positions are grounded in measurable facts.
His background includes both courtroom work and outside-the-courtroom counseling. He has prepared pleadings, negotiated agreements and managed discovery. He also prepares clients for hearings and mediations, working through scenarios and likely outcomes. Colson’s style is straightforward. He avoids jargon when explaining risks and timing. He aims to give clients a realistic sense of the process and the options before them.
In addition to client work, he has maintained ties to academic and professional circles from the institutions where he studied. He keeps current on developments in Connecticut law and attends continuing education programs required for license maintenance. He also consults with colleagues on complex matters that benefit from multiple perspectives.
Today he lives and practices in Connecticut. His practice centers on advising clients in matters arising under state law, handling litigation and transactional issues, and assisting with administrative proceedings. He currently practices in Connecticut, concentrating on civil matters and client counseling within the state’s legal system.
