There’s local law, state law, federal law and then there’s Bradley Law.
In the Bradley Law, manipulated by brothers Dennis and Mark, it’s all about rationalizing everything they do as okay, damn the consequences it has on them and others, superficially gas lighting for personal gain.
We’re smart and you’re stupid.
A superior court judge last week suspended the law license of Dennis Bradley, awaiting sentencing for his federal conviction on six counts of election fraud, after he manipulated campaign staff to falsify donor cards to receive nearly $100,000 in public funds to finance his run for state office.
In addition he spent about $8,000 of his own money to finance his campaign announcement that he illegally claimed was an event for his law firm. When one of his campaign handlers suggested in a text message that such a move would be illegal, Bradley discarded that with a wave of the hand as nonsense.
Dennis Bradley engaged in a series of lies, as noted by the prosecutorial team at his federal trial, a default pattern when often confronted with the truth.
Dennis Bradley has been hiding behind “rookie mistakes” and tried to reinforce that in an obsequious suck-up to Bridgeport residents in a News 12 interview with Frank Recchia, claiming, “To the people of Bridgeport, I’m sorry – it was never my intention to break the law.”
When it comes to the law, lawyers don’t make rookie mistakes.
This is the same guy who told the cameras at the start of his trial that he would be vindicated. This is the same guy who is so sorry that he is challenging the jury’s conviction.
There’s more bad news for the Bradley brothers, the state legal review panel, Connecticut’s Office Of Chief Disciplinary Council, that filed misconduct complaints with the court has also recently declared that the Bradley Law Group fleeced an immigration client a fee of $30,000 for legal services, failed to show up to court, or “provide any invoices substantiating the work performed.”
While the case above plays out in Waterbury Superior Court, a court complaint unrelated to that filed last week charges both Dennis Bradley and his brother Mark Bradley, law partners with the Bridgeport-based Bradley Law Group, with swindling another law firm out of fees associated with a personal injury case.

Now, let’s get to Mark Bradley, candidate for judge of probate, challenging incumbent Paul Ganim in an August 11 Democratic primary.
The Connecticut State Elections Enforcement Commission is investigating Mark Bradley for voting dually in Massachusetts and Connecticut for years, in Massachusetts as a registered Republican and in Connecticut as a Democrat. Massachusetts court records show that Mark Bradley, attested under penalties of false statement that he’s a resident of Massachusetts. That’s part of a messy probate battle in which a state judge excoriated Mark Bradley for trying to hide a bank account with $767,000 in it to lower child support payments in which he was also in arrears.
Investigators are also examining hundreds of signatures Mark Bradley leveraged to qualify for the August 11 Democratic primary as fraudulently forged.
Now let’s look at Mark Bradley’s core campaign supporters harvesting absentees ballots. They include Dennis Bradley, convicted of election fraud, City Councilwoman Maria Peraira charged with multiple counts of election fraud, City Councilman Alfredo Castillo, charged in four separate cases with election fraud.
Last month Pereira, a hired gun by the Bradley’s, organized a campaign spring-cleaning event at Success Village, the $8,000 dumpster costs financed by Dennis Bradley to aid his brother who was campaigning at the housing co-op to gain favor with voters, clearly an in-kind contribution to his brother’s campaign that was not listed on Mark Bradley’s recently filed campaign finance report with the state.
These are the same Bradley brothers who received tens of thousands of dollars to try to keep in power ex Success Village board leader Ty Bird whose residence was recently raided by the FBI to uncover millions of dollars of missing common charges from co-op residents.
Must be more “rookie mistakes.”
Lennie, this is all a misunderstanding. Dennis Bradley meant to say, ‘Hand in the cookie jar mistake.’
