Alex Mario

Personal Injury Law

100 Plains Rd, Milford, CT 06461, USA

Attorney Alex Mario, daughter of firm founder and president, Carter Mario, was inspired from an early age to continue her family’s legacy of fighting for the injured. Alex has stood alongside her father and the Carter Mario Law Firm from the age of fifteen, in the firm’s commercials, billboards, buses, and social media platforms and encouraged Connecticut’s injured to “Get Carter!” Born and raised in Connecticut, Alex’s competitive drive and fighting spirit led her to attend high school at the prestigious International Management Group (IMG) Sports Academy, in Bradenton, Fl. in their soccer program. From there it was a natural choice to follow her parents’ footsteps and attend college at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Alex double majored in Journalism and Mass Communication & Spanish Literature and Language. During college, Alex spent a year abroad in Seville, Spain, where she lived with a Spanish family and was completely immersed in the local culture. Upon graduation from college, Alex worked for four years at Time Warner Cable Corporate in NYC in various roles from executive assistant to the President of Residential Operations, a Marketing Analyst, as well as Analyst of Operational Effectiveness. During this time, she was elected to be a member of Time Warner Cable’s Aspiring Leadership Organization. Working with people and solving disputes on a corporate level made Alex realize her desire to return to the family law business and help those that needed a fighter in their corner. She obtained her JD from Fordham University School of Law, where she earned a spot on their Trial Advocacy team, one of the top programs in the country. While earning her JD, Alex also received the Archibald R. Murray Public Service Award – an award given for providing over 100 hours of pro bono and community work for Fordham Law’s Mediation Clinic at the small claims court in Manhattan. When Alex isn’t fiercely advocating for her clients, she is busy with her family, especially keeping up with her young sons Kees and Karson. Once an avid movie buff, she now has become a connoisseur of children’s television shows, and knows most of Coco Melon by heart! She still makes time to enjoy a good travel or cooking show on the weekends, listen to some jazz or Andrea Bocelli and when able, enjoys skiing and watching soccer. Her dogs, Bubba & Frankie, are her lounging partners and add to the overall excitement. As your dedicated advocate, Alex will handcraft a plan of attack that is specific to your case. Born into a family of fighters and high achievers, Alex is ready to stand in your corner and help you get your life back.
