What makes Hartford a distinct market for law firms?
Hartford has one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the United States, concentrated in Frog Hollow, Park Street and the South End, and legal content in Spanish from local firms is sparse. Hartford Superior Court on Washington Street handles family, criminal and civil matters for the judicial district, and clients search it by name. The insurance industry produces employment questions, and defense workers at Pratt & Whitney and elsewhere produce estate and family questions. West Hartford, Glastonbury and the suburbs hold most of the estate demand. Connecticut's eviction process is searched heavily from Hartford.
