On Wednesday, April 3, 2024, Garrison Law founding partner Joe Garrison was honored with the Connecticut Bar Association’s Edward F. Hennessey Professionalism Award at this year’s Celebrate With the Stars event.

The annual Hennessey award recognizes and honors one member of the Connecticut Bar Association whose career has shown a dedication to the highest ideals and standards of the legal profession. To be chosen for this incredible lifetime achievement, the recipient must have demonstrated stellar integrity, character, competence, ethics, civility, and mentoring throughout their career, inspiring greater professionalism and pride among lawyers and enhancing the public’s perception of the legal profession.

We at Garrison Law are incredibly proud of and inspired by Joe for upholding the values of employee representation and setting the standard for employment lawyers throughout the state and across the country.

After decades of advocating for employees at the highest level, Joe transitioned in 2024 to focus exclusively on mediation and arbitration. He is now Of Counsel to the Garrison firm.

    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
