Partner Nina Pirrotti and her extraordinary client traveled to San Francisco so that her client could receive the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA)’s highest honor, Courageous Plaintiff, at NELA’s annual conference. The award was presented before an audience of approximately 400 plaintiffs’ employment lawyers. During the presentation, Nina Pirrotti described the journey they, along with Partner Josh Goodbaum and former associate Lizzie Lee, took together toward justice for our client and accountability for her employer. Her client then captivated the audience with poems she had written about her evolution as a survivor and about Ms. Pirrotti as her advocate. Below is an excerpt from the program of this momentous event:

This plenary session will bring to life the stories of three remarkable individuals who stood up to their employers and held their ground in the face of immense adversity, not only to vindicate their own rights to improve the lives of others as well. Our honorees embody the change we want to see in the American workplace and their courage to rise to the challenge will inspire us to continue to fight for equality and justice for all. Their lawyers will share their legal theories and litigation strategies that led to their client’s extraordinary victories.

    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
