Practice Areas

Robert O. Hickey is the managing partner of Ryan Ryan Deluca. Bob began his career at RRD in 1998. Since joining the firm, his practice has been almost exclusively dedicated to civil litigation matters, trying numerous cases to verdict in both state and federal court. The cases have ranged from lower-exposure motor vehicle accidents to high-exposure, complicated matters including claims of wrongful death and catastrophic injuries. He has defended appeals to the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts as well as the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

Bob’s long-standing reputation in the bar has led to other parties requesting him to serve as a mediator or arbitrator in state and federal court civil matters. His ADR practice focuses on personal injury matters, but he has also helped resolve numerous other types of cases through successful mediation.
