Abby Agathos

Abby has been with Morizio Law Firm since 2021, as our office manager. Her duties include overseeing the firm’s advertising and community events, supervising office operations, and managing our staff. Her organizational skills and attention to detail ensure our office runs smoothly on a daily basis!

Before joining our firm, Abby was an office manager for a busy wholesaler for 16 years. Making the transition to the legal field was a big change, but very welcomed.

He creates an excellent work environment for his employees through the care for his team, his profession, and his clients.

Abby has a background as a preschool teacher. When her husband opened his own business, she learned bookkeeping to be involved and loved it so much she changed her career. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Sacred Heart University, Fairfield CT.

Not only does she live in town (about 7 minutes from the office), Abby is an active member of the Stratford community. She is part of the Stratford Rotary Club, a Board member of the BEST Committee (Business Education Support Team), and Executive Board member of the Stratford Chamber of Commerce.

Rachel Francis

Attorney

Rachel has been with Morizio Law Firm since 2023, bringing her legal expertise to bear in the area of Workers’ Compensation Law. Licensed to practice law in Massachusetts, Rachel plays an integral role in client matters, including gathering facts about injuries and illnesses, examining medical records, and developing a thorough understanding of each case. She also handles document review and preparation, the filing of claims, communication with insurance companies, and negotiating with adjusters and opposing legal counsel to advocate for the best possible outcome for our clients.

Rachel earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Colorado and her Juris Doctor from Northeastern University School of Law. Early in her legal career, she was an associate attorney at Edwards Angell Palmer and Dodge, where she developed a broad-based general corporate transactional practice.

After the birth of her first child, Rachel made the decision to step away from the practice of law to focus on her family — a role she embraced wholeheartedly. During those years, she remained actively engaged in her community as a classroom volunteer and by serving on several Boards. When her oldest child entered college, Rachel chose to return to the legal profession, and the collaborative and supportive environment at Morizio Law Firm made that transition a natural and rewarding one.

For Rachel, one of the most fulfilling aspects of Workers’ Compensation Law is the opportunity to make a meaningful, positive impact on the lives of individuals who have been hurt on the job.
