Garrison, Levin-Epstein, Chimes & Richardson, P.C. has been known statewide in Connecticut for providing the highest quality representation to individuals for nearly thirty years.

Our firm handles trial and appellate matters in Connecticut state and federal courts as well as providing advice to persons in employment, criminal investigations, and regulatory matters. Our current and former attorneys have an outstanding record of public and pro bono service, and hold leadership positions in state and federal bar associations. Our primary areas of practice include:

EMPLOYMENT LAW and CIVIL RIGHTS MATTERS

We have long been recognized as the pre-eminent law firm in the state representing individuals in employment disputes. Our firm has litigated many of the landmark cases in this field in Connecticut and won some of the largest verdicts in the history of the state. We handle many types of employment law disputes, including:

• Representing executives and other employees in severance negotiations
• Representing victims or classes of victims in employment discrimination or sexual harassment claims
• Representing whistle blowers and other persons involving wrongful discharge
• Disputes pertaining to non-competition agreements
• Representing clients experiencing retaliation and in matters regarding free speech

WHITE COLLAR and OTHER CRIMINAL DEFENSE

We regularly represent individuals and businesses which are being investigated or prosecuted by the government under a broad range of federal and state laws and regulations. Among the matters in which we have represented clients are alleged violations of the laws governing health care fraud, taxation, federal and state government contracting and procurement, federal and state public corruption, banking fraud, securities fraud, computer crimes, antitrust violations, money laundering offenses, mail and wire fraud, as well as the alleged giving of false testimony and obstruction of justice. Three of our partners are former federal or state prosecutors with substantial experience trying jury and court-side trials in the federal and state courts.

Our lawyers have a great deal of experience in these fields. We have tried many cases in federal court and participated in countless federal judicial proceedings. Most of our work, however, involves keeping our clients out of court wherever possible. We often measure our success by how little attention we get rather than how much.

PERSONAL INJURY and MALPRACTICE

We represent persons who have suffered death or life-altering injuries or economic harm from medical or professional malpractice, negligence, dangerous products, drunk drivers, violations of their constitutional or civil rights, or governmental or corporate misconduct.
