Lindy R. Urso, the son of an Italian immigrant stone mason, was born and raised in a working-class home in Cos Cob, CT. In addition to spending summers mixing cement as his father’s laborer, Urso worked for several years as a carpenter both before and after graduating from Pepperdine University School of Law in Los Angeles, California in 1995. Urso has also served his country honorably, completing a 6-year enlistment with the US Army National Guard (CT) in 1990. In large part due to that blue collar experience and upbringing, Lindy brings a strong work ethic, values and a spirit of selfless service to his Stamford criminal defense practice.
“Nothing motivates me to work harder than the understanding that I have someone’s life or liberty in my hands.”
