    Recommends this Attorney
    I have worked with Attorney Donofrio for over 9 years since coming into local government from a Corporate Business career. In the past, I have worked with many attorneys from all across the country and Mr. Donofrio is the best that I have ever worked with. His encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of municipal law, construction law, and business law is unparalleled. The quality of service and the outstanding legal advice that we receive, combined with Jeffrey"s ability to quickly size up problems and offer thoughtful and insightful solutions, have been a great asset to me as North Haven"s Chief Elected Official. In the 2 years before I took office, the town had 10 different law firms representing it. Through Jeffrey and his firm"s overall expertise, we now only have 2 firms. I highly recommend Jeffrey and his firm to any company or any municipality.

    Mr. Donofrio is the most competent, practical and efficient attorney that I have had the pleasure to work with. In addition to him being technically savy, he treats his clients as if they were family. He is a valuable asset to any team.
