About

My responsibility to my clients is to be more than a zealous advocate. I must learn as much as I can about my client's business - on my time - so that I can fully understand the disputes and challenges for which my client requires counsel.  Moreover, regardless of whether I am providing litigation or contract drafting services, I must provide value-added services that enhance my client's business opportunities and reduce long term risks. Because of my large firm training and experience, I provide the type of representation typically associated with large firms.  However, because we do not have the overhead of a large firm, we are significantly less expensive. If a matter truly requires significant staffing, we are adept at serving as co-counsel in a manner that avoids duplication of efforts and mitigates costs.

In my opinion, as North Haven's Chief Elected Official, Jeffrey is the finest attorney that I have ever worked with in Government, and is also the finest attorney that I have ever worked with overall, including my previous experience as President/CEO of my companies before I took office as an elected official. Jeffrey"s thorough and comprehensive knowledge of business issues, municipal issues, labor issues, construction project issues and his overall encyclopedic understanding of Connecticut State statutes is very impressive, and Jeffrey's entire firm is a pleasure to work with. He and his entire staff have been a wonderful asset to our government in the Town of North Haven. I would highly recommend Jeffrey to any organization, institution, corporation or municipality because of his outstanding skill sets, knowledge base, responsiveness, and overall business acumen. He is an unparalled professional whose focus is always on how to help his clients. His level of consistency, in terms of performing at such a high level of delivering outstanding service, is truly a great benefit that we have been the recipients of. We have greatly appreciated all of his hard work and outstanding efforts as his client. Sincerely, Michael J. Freda

First I would like to say that if it were not for the fact I consider Attorney Donofrio to be one of the most trustworthy individuals I have ever meet, I would not even consider writing a review. in addition, while his responsiveness and keeping his clients informed of all on going situations is with out question, his most important value is his knowledge, and ability to communicate that knowledge. Specifically on the municipal side, there is no delay in looking up statue or precedent, his experience has that information at his finger tips. Of course there are situations that require research, but what i would refer to as the bread and butter issues are answered to departments heads instantly. In regards to construction contract documents, ordinances,and opinion drafted, I have found his legal opinions to clear and precise. Designed to be fair while protecting the towns position. In reference to construction law,(non municipal side) I have used Attorney Donofrio on several occasions and I have been more impressed then my dealing with him on the municipal side. His service has resulted in at times a positive outcome or a outcome that was mitigated as best as possible. I have in cases of arbitration, I have always felt I had the best lawyer in the room. in closing it would be hard to find a better lawyer then Attorney Donofrio, he is a credit to his profession.
