Nicholas M. Varney

Nick’s career has been defined by intensive legal research, persuasive writing, and appellate analysis. For nearly a decade, he served as a trusted writer, advisor, and researcher for appellate judges and justices, including Justice Gregory T. D’Auria of the Connecticut Supreme Court and Judge William H. Bright of the Connecticut Appellate Court.
