Mark Kochanowicz

I went to law school to be a trial attorney, as I consider every moment in the courtroom a fight to help my clients receive the compensation they deserve. I enjoy developing deep trusting relationships with my clients and helping them understand all their options to decide what is in their best interest.

By being admitted to practice in both New York and Connecticut, as well as Federal District Court, I am able to provide my clients with the additional flexibility of making the best decision regarding when and where to file their cases in order to get them the best result possible.

I’m a chef here in New York, zero time for BS, less time for reviews, but this Bridgeport, CT office is different! The professionalism, honesty, and care are amazing. If you want your steak cooked right (and don’t care about kale), this is YOUR attorney. Ask for the Mark & Isaiah special. Tell them Chef sent ya! 😉 #Lawyers #Connecticut #Bridgeport #Steak #ChefLife #Attorney #Recommendation

Mark and Isaiah were nothing short of exceptional. Mark, as our attorney, consistently broke down complex legal matters into simple, clear language we could fully understand. His knowledge and attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way.

Isaiah, our paralegal, may be one of the best communicators I’ve ever encountered. He was relentless in following up, always kept us informed, and never made us feel like just another case. His dedication was unmatched.

Together, they fought hard for justice for me and my loved one after a traumatic accident. Their professionalism, compassion, and determination made a world of difference in one of the most difficult times of our lives.

We are forever grateful, if you need a legal team that truly cares and delivers results, look no further.

I wasn’t sure anyone would take my accident case in the beginning, got turned away by a few. Then I sat down with mark and he went over it with me and said he saw something worth taking on with my case, it would be challenging but he was willing to do so and help me. Mark was great to work with, quick with his responses even if he wasn’t in office he was always available to answer my questions resolve problems and put my mind at ease when needed and always assisted and helped with any problem or concern I had. And got the best results.

when it comes to getting legal help it can get real scary because you don’t know what will be the outcome of trying to get the best results for a legal case. i was in a very complex situation where i was hit by a vehicle, in a different state (CT), hospitalized for a long while with 2 surgeries and out of work for 2 yrs plus. during the beginning of my days of pain and disbelief of what happen, i was in need of legal help. Cellino law was my second option because the first legal firm was not showing any compassion towards me or the situation i was in. Mark Kochanowicz, Esq. – Attorney and Vitaliy Nisanov Paralegal from Cellino Law help me all the way through. i feel extremely lucky to have Mark Kochanowicz as my attorney because his bar practice is for multiple states and CT was one of them. Mark was on top of everything and what i mean is medical, documentation, preparation for deposition, scheduling any special medical treatment needed i mean he knows it all. my case received beyond best results and because i signed a confidentiality agreement i can’t disclosed My Compensation from the case but what i can say is that if you call Cellino ask for Mark Kochanowicz He is your guy!!…

I can’t thank the Cellino Law team enough for handling my case. It felt like I had family members working on my behalf.

Following my first car accident, I had the pleasure of working with Mark Kochanowicz and his paralegal Vitaliy Nisanov.

First accidents are nerve-wracking and you don’t know what to do. Mark said one thing to me that stuck on the first day: “Go home and rest, we’ll take care of it”. And that they did.

Both Mark and Vitaliy were available for all my questions night and day. Extremely responsive, reassuring, and wealth of knowledge. They were professional from start to finish, streamlined the process, and walked me through every step, making sure I received the proper care and settled my case quickly.

I had a lot of great talks with Vitaliy who is an encyclopedia of law knowledge, and just pours great advice. He suggested some changes I make which allows me to feel safe and covered going forward.

Thank you to you both, they are my go-to for anything (forbid) may occur. Will be sending along anyone I know to them!

I would most definitely recommend Mark Kochanowicz at Cellino law. My husband was in a car accident hit from behind needed physical therapy injections and more. Mark and his team got us the best deal we could imagine. Always easy to reach via text call email even Facebook he was always there for all of our questions no matter the time or even weekends. Always updated and kept informed with changes and details. He would always try for the best deal never short changed us. And even at the end he ended up getting more from the insurance then we all planned. He always said we could do better then there asking and he was right. It was an easy process most was through the phone and email didn’t have to constantly go into the office back and forth. Was able to sign paperwork via email. If you want the best bang for you buck definitely Mark and his team here will get you all your asking for and maybe even then some. 5 stars thank you again.

I would highly recommend Mark Kochanowicz for any personal injury cases. He was very thorough, kept me informed, and was able to provide me with the best possible outcome. He was very easy to reach if I had any questions and would always call to check up on my recovery as well as keep me updated on the progression of my case. I felt very valued with Mark as my attorney and he made this whole process much more bearable knowing that he was dedicated to working on my case. He was very attentive and accommodating and I will most definitely be recommending him to anyone who needs his services in the future.
