The Prue Law Group Celebrates 45 Years of Serving Eastern and Central Connecticut

Four Decades of Legal Excellence Continues with Strategic Growth Into Colchester Region

The Prue Law Group, P.C. marks a significant milestone this year, celebrating 45 years of providing legal guidance to individuals, families, and businesses throughout eastern and central Connecticut. Since its founding in 1980, the firm has grown from a small local practice into the premier law firm for estate and business law services in the region, while maintaining the personalized service and community focus that has defined its practice for more than four decades.

The firm’s 45th anniversary year has been marked by strategic initiatives designed to strengthen its position as the region’s premier law firm while expanding accessibility to its specialized services.

In May 2025, the firm launched a refreshed brand identity and new website that reflects both its established reputation and its forward-looking vision, including updated mission, vision, and values statements, along with enhanced visual elements and messaging that speak to both long-standing clients and next-generation Connecticut residents and businesses.

This was followed in August 2025 by the opening of the firm’s fourth location at 167 Lebanon Ave Suite B in Colchester, strategically positioned at the heart of the firm’s eastern and central Connecticut service area and joining existing locations in Willimantic, Brooklyn, and Coventry to create a comprehensive network that makes the firm’s services more accessible throughout the region.

“Reaching 45 years is a testament to the trust our clients have placed in us and the dedication of our exceptional team,” said Attorney Patrick Prue, founder of The Prue Law Group. “When I started this practice in 1980, my goal was to provide sophisticated legal expertise with genuine personal attention. That commitment hasn’t changed, but we’ve evolved to meet the changing needs of our community and expanded our reach to serve more families and businesses across eastern and central Connecticut.”

Attorney Patrick Prue’s more than 20 years of experience as a probate judge has given the firm unique insights into navigating Connecticut’s probate court system, positioning it as a leader in estate planning, probate and estate settlement, and elder law services. Over the years, the firm has expanded its practice areas to include business law, real estate law, family law, personal injury law, and litigation, creating a comprehensive legal services platform that serves clients throughout their personal and professional lives.

“Many of our clients have been with us for decades, and now we’re serving their children and grandchildren,” said Attorney Evelina Ruszkowski, who leads the firm’s estate planning practice and was recently named to Super Lawyers’ 2025 Connecticut Rising Stars list. “That generational trust is something we take seriously. Our recent brand refresh and expansion efforts reflect our commitment to continuing to serve eastern Connecticut families and businesses for the next 45 years and beyond.”

“The Colchester area presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly given the region’s demographics that align with our core practice areas,” Attorney Prue noted. “This location allows us to better serve existing clients while making our specialized expertise accessible to new families and businesses who value sophisticated legal guidance with personal attention.”

As The Prue Law Group celebrates 45 years of service, its focus remains on the future. The firm’s strategic initiatives are designed to ensure it can continue serving the evolving needs of eastern and central Connecticut for decades to come.

“Our mission is to improve the lives of our clients and community by providing exceptional legal expertise with personalized service,” said Attorney Prue. “After 45 years, that mission is stronger than ever. We’re honored by the trust our community has placed in us, and we’re committed to continuing that tradition of excellence as we look toward the future.”
