Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Fitzgerald & Pirrotti, PC

I had the pleasure of speaking with Attorney Josh Goodaum. I recently found myself in a situation where my employer was illegally attempting to force me onto medical leave. I had just been diagnosed with cancer, which in itself is extremely traumatic. Josh was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and compassionate regarding my situation. He took the time to listen and provided clear guidance during a very difficult time. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice or representation.

An outstanding firm that provides candid advice and aggressive advocacy. Attorney Goodbaum gives frank and realistic information about your issue, explains your options, gives upfront and accurate assessments of your projected expense and hassle, and helps formulate a legal plan that will get your best results. What he will not do, however, is waste your time or your money on a claim that isn't viable. This of course means sometimes having to give bad news, but it is always in the client's long term best interests. I have referred several friends and colleagues here and, based on my own experiences as a client, will continue to do so.

Working with Attorney Nina Pirrotti was such a positive experience. She was incredibly helpful and compassionate. It was clear she truly cared about helping me get the best possible outcome. Her professionalism gave me so much peace of mind during a difficult time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who genuinely goes above and beyond.

I worked with Joshua Goodbaum, partner at Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Fitzgerald & Pirroti, on a number of projects. I find his knowledge, expertise, and counsel on employment law matters exceptional. What I like in particular is Joshua’s ability to give perspective and guidance. His work style is focused, efficient, and highly responsive. I can recommend him and his firm without any reservation.

I highly recommend using Josh Goodbaum. I am a physician and used Josh's services for leaving a practice of long term employment. Josh is a great listener, asked great questions and quickly identified the key issues. He is extremely professional, kind and patient. I have no reservations recommending Josh.

Nina Pirrotti has represented me effectively in a recent matter. She and her firm are reliable, prompt, and available. She stands out for her depth of insight and her empathy, both of which proved valuable. It has been great to work with her, and I recommend her enthusiastically.

Nina T. Pirrotti is truly the best of the best. I typically do not write reviews, but in this case, it is genuinely my honor to share a glowing recommendation. This past September was an exceptionally difficult time for me—both professionally and personally. I strongly believe that even in the hardest moments, there is always a silver lining, and Nina was exactly that. Professionally, she knew precisely what to do and when to do it. I provided the relevant details and data, and she expertly handled everything else. From our initial engagement through to the final outcome—which was substantially better than the original offer—Nina managed the entire process with confidence and precision. Her clear, steady plan worked exactly as designed, allowing me to focus on what mattered most at the time: being present with my family. If you have the opportunity to work with Nina, you will be in the very best hands.

Joshua Goodbaum is an individual of high integrity and sharp acumen. He inspires confidence and has great command over his area of expertise. I am grateful for his contributions and guidance in all my matters over the years and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Keep up the good work Josh and thank you!

Worked with Atty Amanda DeMatteis at Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Fitzgerald & Pirrotti in New Haven. She made things simple and easy during a very difficult time for me. She was very attentive and professional. I would not hesitate to utilize her services again. I would highly recommend Atty A. DeMatteis to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Attorney Meaghan Kirby. She was incredibly well versed in the law and gave me all of my options. She took the time to listen to the facts of my case, ask thoughtful questions and thoroughly explained each step of the process. She did all of this with empathy and care. Her knowledge and expertise was evident from the first moment I spoke with her. She remained available and attentive throughout the process and I truly felt like I had an advocate who had my best interests in the forefront of her mind. While I hope to never go through this situation again, if I had to, she would be my first call. I cannot recommend her or the firm enough. I am incredibly thankful to have worked with her.

I had a work mans compensation claim from my employer and the tried to pay for nay of my medical bills. They had me on a CC to review and go over my claim and they decided it wasn't valid. Tried to "twist my responses"! I contacted this firm and my attorney AD refused to let this happen. It was a process, but in the end AD was great to work with and got me a wonderful settlement. Thank you AD.

I am a sales executive who was transitioning out of a position, and I had the great privilege of working with Joshua Goodbaum at Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Fitzgerald & Pirrotti, P.C.

Amanda DeMatteis was extremely helpful and her quick follow-up and thoroughness were amazing. I needed some help with an employment contract on an expedited basis and she was to the point and detail oriented. Highly recommend Amanda and the firm.

I'm writing to enthusiastically recommend Josh Goodbaum as the CEO of a nonprofit healthcare company. I hired Josh to represent me in a four-year contract negotiation, and it was one of the best decisions I made. The process was challenging, especially with the complex IRS regulations for executive compensation and buyouts. Josh's exceptional analytical skills were a huge asset. He was able to break down the complicated legal and tax issues into terms I could easily understand. What truly impressed me was his ability to foster a collaborative environment. He skillfully managed communication with my Board Chairman and the company's attorney, ensuring everyone was on the same page. Josh is calm, dedicated, and a truly excellent communicator who can manage difficult situations under pressure, and I fully endorse him.

Josh Goodbaum was professional, detail oriented and friendly through this successful and challenging situation.

Attorney Ingraham was able to meet with me within a few days and provided invaluable advice. Thanks!
