Andrew Ranks

For Andrew Ranks, practicing law means standing up for people at the moment they need an advocate most and relentlessly pursuing accountability when serious harm has been done. He approaches every case with the mindset that clients deserve not only a voice, but a lawyer willing to see their case through to the end if necessary.With nearly twenty years of legal experience, Andrew is known for his fierce, trial-focused advocacy and his willingness to take on complex, high-stakes matters.

That foundation is further shaped by over a decade of defense-side experience, providing him with a clear-eyed perspective on how cases are assessed and litigated in practice. As a member of the trial team at Claggett, Sykes & Garza, LLC, Andrew played a key role in securing a $100 million jury verdict arising from a catastrophic workplace injury—the largest bodily injury verdict in Connecticut history. In 2025, Andrew was recognized by Best Lawyers for excellence in the field of personal injury, an honor based on peer review of leading attorneys.Originally from Gardiner, Maine, and the son of two teachers, Andrew has raised his family in Connecticut for more than a decade. Outside the courtroom, he enjoys skiing with his wife and two daughters and spending time at home playing board games with his family.
