Why Groton Residents Choose Mission Focus Legal Group
We built our Groton office here deliberately. This community is home to one of the largest submarine bases on the East Coast, a working waterfront, and miles of roads where serious accidents happen every day. Our attorneys handle personal injury cases on contingency — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. We also carry in-house military legal experience that no other local firm can match, with Attorney Keith Anthony serving as a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Major with nearly 20 years of combined active and reserve service.
Our record reflects the work: five Super Lawyers selections, one Rising Star designation, and more than 110 five-star Google reviews from clients across New London County.

Military Legal Services Near Naval Submarine Base New London
Our Groton location exists in part because of Naval Submarine Base New London. Service members and their families face legal situations that civilian attorneys are not equipped to handle — UCMJ proceedings, administrative separation boards, and the specific complexities of military divorce and deployment-related custody disputes. Attorney Keith Anthony spent four years as an active-duty JAG prosecutor before transitioning to reserve service. He has been on the inside of military legal proceedings, which means he understands how they work and where defense strategy matters most.
We serve active-duty sailors, officers, enlisted personnel, and their families at Sub Base New London and throughout southeastern Connecticut.
Contingency Fee Representation — No Upfront Cost
For personal injury clients, there is no retainer and no hourly billing. We take your case, advance the litigation costs, and recover our fee only when we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor. If we do not recover, you owe us nothing. This structure means our interests are aligned with yours from the first conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Groton CT Legal Services
Do I need a personal injury lawyer for a car accident in Groton CT?
Not every accident requires an attorney, but most injured people who handle claims on their own recover significantly less than those who have legal representation. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. An attorney who handles personal injury cases on contingency costs you nothing upfront and gives you a much stronger position in negotiations.How close is Mission Focus Legal Group to Naval Submarine Base New London?

Contingency fee means we do not charge you anything unless we recover money for you. We advance the costs of litigation — filing fees, expert witnesses, investigation — and collect our fee as a percentage of the settlement or verdict. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.Can you help a service member at Sub Base New London facing a court-martial?
Yes. Attorney Keith Anthony is a Marine Corps Reserve Major with four years of active-duty JAG prosecution experience.
