About Sergio C.
Sergio C. Deganis earned his J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 1978. That academic start led to a long career in New England courts. He is admitted to practice in Connecticut and Massachusetts and is also licensed to appear before the First and Second U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
His early years in practice are not detailed here, but public records note a shift into neutral services in 2005 when he served as an arbitrator and lawyer trial referee for the State of Connecticut. That role placed him in the position of evaluating disputes and overseeing settlement and procedural matters. He has held membership in the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association since 1996, an affiliation that aligns with his litigation work.
Across decades, Deganis has worked primarily on personal injury matters. He has appeared in state and federal courts and handled the kinds of pretrial work, motions practice, and hearings that typically accompany contested injury claims. His arbitration and trial-referee experience gave him an additional vantage point on how cases resolve before trial and the practical considerations judges and neutral evaluators apply.
Outside the courtroom, Deganis has engaged in community work. Since 2017 he has served as a trustee for Cheshire United Methodist Church. That position places him in a governance role within the congregation, overseeing matters that range from property stewardship to administrative oversight.
Colleagues and court records show a practice built around litigation of injury cases and involvement in procedural dispute resolution. His long-standing membership in the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association indicates sustained contact with other trial lawyers in the state and ongoing participation in the legal community there.
He continues to practice as a personal injury attorney, representing clients in Connecticut and Massachusetts and appearing where necessary before the First and Second Circuits. He currently represents injured plaintiffs in personal injury matters.
