Scott E Schaffer's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with Scott for many years on labor and employment matters, and have referred a number of clients to him. He is an exceptional lawyer."
"I have been referring employment cases to Scott for years and couldn't be happier. He is an exceptionally talented employment lawyer. All of my clients have raved about the services that they received from Scott."
"Without hesitation, I endorse this attorney. Attorney Scott Schaffer is an exceptionally strong labor law attorney, who brings his extensive background as a senior level HR executive to assisting individual and corporate clients on all aspects of labor and employment law. He's often called on for presentations and articles on a wide range of human resource issues. His newsletters and articles in Lexis' highly-regarded XpertHR compliance manual are of great value to the business and legal community."
"Scott is a knowledgeable and experienced employment attorney. His advice is always right on point. He is my "go-to guy" for labor and employment questions."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have enjoyed the privilege of getting to know Attorney Schaffer through several functions hosted by the Connecticut Bar Association and our local Chambers of Commerce. Scott brings to the practice of employment law a keen understanding of the myriad human resource issues confronting employers. Scott’s knowledge is matched by his enviable ability to communicate in clear, easily understandable counsel – a huge plus for any of his management clients. Perhaps the most telling endorsement I can offer is to state unequivocally that if ever there were to exist a matter in which my firm found itself in conflict, I would have absolutely no hesitancy in recommending Scott. Respectfully submitted, Rob Fortgang – 3/8/2012"
