About Robert
Robert Guendelsberger trained as an English major before turning to law. He earned a B.A. in English from Alfred University in 1972 and a J.D. from Ohio Northern University in 1976. The combination of literary training and legal education shaped an approach to written advocacy that colleagues have noted in court filings and briefs.
He is admitted to practice in Connecticut and before two federal appellate courts. Those admissions include the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Over the years he has used those credentials to handle matters that extend beyond state trial courts.
Guendelsberger has served as a lawyer at his namesake firm. The record shows long-term association with Guendelsberger Law Offices, LLP and earlier listings as a lawyer at Guendelsberger Law Firm. His work there has included drafting pleadings, arguing motions and appearing in court hearings. He has maintained a steady courtroom presence while also preparing appellate filings when cases have moved beyond the trial level.
Professional memberships have been a constant part of his career. He holds current memberships in the Connecticut State Bar and the American Bar Association. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice and the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association. Those affiliations connect him to state and national trial practice communities and to continuing legal education resources.
In practice he has balanced trial and appellate work. Admission to the Federal Circuit and the Second Circuit has allowed him to carry appeals through the federal appellate system when appropriate. At the state level he has handled matters in Connecticut courts, combining courtroom advocacy with written appellate work depending on the needs of particular cases.
Today he is based at Guendelsberger Law Offices, LLP and continues to represent clients in Connecticut courts and in appeals before federal appellate courts, handling both trial and appellate aspects of civil litigation.
