Biography
As a Partner and Trial Attorney at Claggett, Sykes & Garza Trial Lawyers, Dylan Takores has served as lead counsel in over twenty jury and bench trials across Connecticut. His practice focuses on serious personal injury cases, including medical malpractice, wrongful death, automobile negligence, nursing home negligence, and premises liability.
Dylan represents people who have suffered real losses because someone else failed to act with reasonable care. He believes the civil justice system exists to answer those losses, and that a person who has been harmed deserves the same standing before a jury as the party responsible for the harm. He treats equal access to justice as an ethical obligation, not just a slogan. That principle drives his work.
Having represented both plaintiffs and defendants, Dylan has firsthand insight into how insurers evaluate and defend personal injury claims. That experience reinforces his belief that the strongest cases are built with trial in mind, an approach that guides his work from the earliest stages of a case through verdict.
Dylan is active in the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association, where he served on the General Torts and Membership Committees. As a member of the Connecticut Bar Association, he held leadership roles within the Young Lawyers Section. He has also served as faculty for continuing legal education programs addressing civil litigation and trial practice.
Dylan earned his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law, where he served as a Reporter and Editor of the Impunity Watch Law Journal and Vice President of the Intellectual Property Law Society. He graduated cum laude from The College of Wooster with a B.A. in Philosophy, earning departmental honors and induction into Phi Sigma Tau. He was admitted to practice in Connecticut in 2014 and the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut in 2017.
Beyond his work at CSG, Dylan enjoys spending time with family, reading, exercising, and being outdoors.
