Along the Connecticut River in the southern part of the state lies Middletown, CT. Originally called by its Indian name of Mattabeseck, Middletown was founded in 1650 and formally incorporated in 1923. The city was a thriving shipping port during the 18th century and a center of industry in the 19th century. Today, however, Middletown is primarily a residential community of 43,200 people. The city is also home to historic Wesleyan University, founded in 1831.
This quiet New England community is also home to numerous accomplished Middletown lawyers. Middletown lawyers are experienced in legal matters involving business, family, crime, real estate, intellectual property, immigration, and medical malpractice, as well as others.
