Garrison Law Visits Block Island on Company Summer Retreat

Posted by in News

Aug 4 2025

Last week, the attorneys and staff of Garrison Law took a well-deserved break to enjoy a summer company outing on Block Island, located off the coast of Rhode Island. The day trip provided an opportunity for the team to unwind, connect outside the office, and reflect on a season of impactful work advocating for employee rights across Connecticut.

The group, which included partners Steve Fitzgerald, Josh Goodbaum, and Amanda DeMatteis, associate Meaghan Kirby, paralegals Deb French and Linda DeMatteis, legal assistant Christine McGuire, and intern Lindsay Wielgus, took in the beautiful coastal views and explored the town before cooling off at the beach and enjoying fresh local cuisine together at The Beachead.

Between beach waves and fresh seafood, our clients were still top of mind. The sunshine was the perfect setting to discuss case strategies and even served as a nice backdrop for Partner Amanda DeMatteis to answer phone calls and catch up on email.

Refreshed and reenergized, the Garrison Law team has returned to the office with renewed focus and maybe even a little suntan!

    Client Experiences

    You will never meet a more knowledgeable and compassionate professional than Steve Fitzgerald. My employment situation was very complex, and Attorney Fitzgerald kept me focused while remaining extremely adept and “thinking on his feet.” Should the need present itself again, I would never seek anyone else’s counsel regarding employment issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough. — J.R., New Haven, CT

    Nina Pirrotti provided outstanding legal advice and was trustworthy, dependable, and responsive. From the start, I was confident that her knowledge and experience would obtain favorable results. On a more personal note, I enjoyed working with her and her staff and felt I was included in every part of the process. The dedication, concern, and interest in me as a client was greatly appreciated, and Nina has earned my highest recommendation. — J.H., Monroe, CT

    Josh Goodbaum truly outperformed my expectations. He was calm and steadfast throughout the entire process. He is a great communicator. Together, we were able to lay out a plan that in the end, not only got myself the outcome I was hoping for, but undoubtedly saved me valuable time and money as well. I cannot thank Josh and his firm enough for coming through for me in this time of uncertainty and stress.  — D.T.

    When I go to a lawyer for advice, I am usually anxious, particularly the first meeting. Amanda DeMatteis was clear in describing my options and immediately set me at ease. Realistic assessment is important, and Amanda was clear as to how to set up the case and the direction she felt we should go. I had total confidence in her abilities and knew I was being well represented against a large corporation. More importantly, we were successful! — N.M., Haddam, CT
