Conneticut's Best Lawyers 2024

Protecting

KOSKOFF

, Koskoff & Bieder, PC (Koskoff) has represented victims of catastrophic injury, medical malpractice and civil rights violations for more than 80 years, and its lawyers are committed to remain at the forefront of trial law.

“The lawyers at Koskoff continue a legacy that began with my grandfather in providing strong advocacy for victims of injustice,” said partner Josh Koskoff, who was named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in 2023 and 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut for Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs. “We proudly continue our mission while evolving with changes in the profession, which ultimately is to the benefit of deserving clients.”

Ongoing Cases and Results With National Impact

Koskoff remains one of the most highly regarded civil litigation firms in Connecticut, having secured hundreds of millions of dollars for victims and their families in the areas of product liability, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice and civil rights.

The firm is currently in the discovery stage of a multidistrict litigation against Yale University Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Clinic, in which the fentanyl intended to be used for patients’ pain management was allegedly replaced with saline by a former nurse. The action on behalf of the plaintiffs is being led by Josh Koskoff and partner Kelly Fitzpatrick, who Best Lawyers named the 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” in Stamford for Mass Tort Litigation / Class Action – Plaintiffs.

In one of its most recent and far-reaching successes, the firm secured a $7.1 million jury verdict on behalf of a Pennsylvania woman who was severely injured in 2017 when a can of Conagra Brands cooking spray ignited in a kitchen at her workplace and set her aflame. The result in 2023 is likely to pave the way for more product liability claims against the Chicagobased company.

The firm also received international acclaim for securing landmark resolutions in two litigations

regarding the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting:

• Koskoff secured a $73 million settlement on behalf of 9 families who lost loved ones in the shooting, in Soto Et Al v. Bushmaster Firearms International—one of the only times in U.S. history where a gun manufacturer has been held accountable for a mass shooting.

• Koskoff represented 14 families of victims and one FBI agent who were defamed by InfoWars owner Alex Jones. In Lafferty et al. v. Alex Jones , a Connecticut jury found that Jones will owe $1.5 billion in compensatory and punitive damages to the plaintiffs for the pain and suffering they endured through InfoWars broadcasts, in-person and online, and a claim violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act targeting Jones’ lie-based marketing scheme. Lafferty marked the largest verdict in Connecticut history and is believed to be the largest defamation verdict in U.S. history.

“In addition to the unfathomable loss of life, the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School reflected other failures in our society—from the availability and marketing of deadly weapons to the harmful impact of lies and conspiracy theorists,” Koskoff said. “Our resolutions will hopefully lead to stronger laws that change the way weapons are marketed and prevent anyone from using their media platforms to torment and incite violence, especially against survivors and those in mourning.”

Legal Community and Media Accolades

One of the standout accolades in 2023—and the firm’s history—was receiving the National Trial Lawyer of the Year Award from Public Justice, the renowned nonprofit legal advocacy group, for the Lafferty result. Joshua Koskoff noted that the award from Public Justice was particularly special since the organization annually honors the “greatest contribution to the public interest within the past year.”

Koskoff’s Lafferty legal team was comprised of Christopher Mattei, Josh Koskoff, Alinor Sterling, Matt Blumenthal, Sarah Steinfeld, Colin Antaya and Lorena Thompson.

The firm is frequently honored by the media and legal community, as well. Best Law Firms® ranked the firm Tier 1 in Stamford in five practice areas for 2024: Appellate Law, Criminal Defense: White-Collar, Medical Malpractice – Plaintiffs, Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs.

Eleven Koskoff lawyers were recognized by Best Lawyers in various areas, and many have also been named “Lawyer of the Year” for their respective practices.

Additionally, past and present Koskoff lawyers received prestigious individual awards in 2023: Partner Kathleen Nastri was awarded with the “Lifetime Achievement Award” from American Association of Justice (AAJ) for her significant contributions to advancing AAJ’s commitment to promote justice and fairness for injured persons.

• Founding Partner Michael Koskoff (Josh’s father) was posthumously inducted into the AAJ Hall of Fame.

• Former managing attorney Jim Horwitz, who retired in December, was honored by the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association (CTLA) for his lifetime of achievements and contributions to civil justice in the state.

• CTLA awarded Koskoff attorneys and staff with the Riscassi-Koskoff Civil Justice Award for the landmark victories on behalf of families who lost loved ones at Sandy Hook.

“Every lawyer and staff member of our firm is held to a high standard because clients hire us during the most challenging times in their lives,” Koskoff said. “It often takes years to secure justice, and we stand by our clients for every moment until we reach the best possible conclusion.”

Connecticut Attorney General Releases Status Update on Data Privacy Act

By Gregory Sirico

On February 1, Connecticut’s Attorney General William Tong released a comprehensive report detailing the initial strides made to enforce the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) and provided insightful recommendations for its future progression through means of amendments. Released only seven months after the act was enacted in July 2023, the report casts a whole new light on pivotal areas of early enforcement focuses from the top legal authority in the state, highlighting privacy policies, sensitive data treatment and data brokers.

Additionally, it suggests various legislative modifications aimed at fortifying the act, such as abolishing entity-level exemptions for organizations under certain federal privacy laws, adopting data deletion protocols similar to California’s Delete Act for data held by brokers and broadening the CTDPA’s right to know to whom data is being shared. Although such a report is highly irregular, it does, in fact, provide litigators, consumers, companies and lawmakers with the necessary guidance and insights to help them further understand the enforcement priorities concerning the CTDPA.

As highlighted in the report, moving forward, a substantial emphasis will likely be placed on enforcing privacy policies in the early stages of CTDPA enforcement. Attorney General Tong has distributed notices regarding deficient privacy policies to companies across a diverse array of industries. Notably, the report underscores deficiencies in disclosures concerning consumer data rights, with numerous policies either lacking said disclosures or presenting them in an entirely unprofessional manner.

Additionally, issues with the mechanisms embedded in the organizations’ privacy policies, including dead links, were frequently noted. This highlight marks an imperative first step for companies, particularly those operating in Connecticut, to ensure that their privacy policies not only meet state procedural requirements but also comprehensively and clearly articulate

consumers’ data rights.

While privacy policies have received the most spotlight, the report also sheds light on three other areas where Attorney General Tong has revealed early enforcement interest under the CTDPA: sensitive data, including biometric and geolocation data, underage user data and data brokers. Cure notices and inquiry letters have been dispatched to companies engaged in processing these types of data across various sectors, underscoring the necessity for data brokers and companies handling sensitive or teen data to ensure compliance with legal requirements.

The report also presented several recommendations for enhancing the CTDPA through future amendments. Notable recommendations included:

Minimizing Exemptions: The report critiques the CTDPA’s reliance on entity-level exemptions, advocating for narrowing these exemptions to avoid disadvantaging Connecticut residents.

One-Stop Deletion Shop: Proposing a “one-stop-shop” mechanism akin to California’s Delete Act, the AG suggests streamlining the process for consumers to delete their personal information held by data brokers.

Expanded the Right to Know: Drawing from recent comprehensive privacy laws in other states, the AG proposes expanding the CTDPA to provide consumers with the right to know specific third parties with whom their personal data is shared.

Status of Data Breach Notifications: While not the primary focus, the AG underscores the importance of adhering to the Connecticut data breach notification law’s timeframe, emphasizing the need for swift action in notifying consumers and regulators following a data breach.

To briefly conclude, Attorney General Tong’s report provides valuable insights into the early enforcement priorities of the CTDPA and suggests potential legislative amendments to not only fortify but further clarify data privacy laws in the state.

Thomas B. Mooney Education Law Hartford, CT

Since 1976, Thomas B. Mooney, partner at Shipman & Goodwin LLP in Hartford, has been committed to assisting educators, policymakers and lawyers to better understand the continually developing issues plaguing schools on a daily basis.

Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2006, Mooney is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Education Law in Hartford for 2024, an honor he’s received five times previously in this specialty.

Of his legal career and recent recognition, Mooney stated: “I teach courses on school law at the University of Connecticut and Quinnipiac University, and I write regularly about school law issues for various publications, which could have contributed to this current recognition. Last year, the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education (CABE) published the 10th Edition of ‘A Practical Guide to Connecticut School Law,’ which I first wrote and CABE first published in 1994. The Practical Guide has become a key resource on school law issues for lawyers and educators alike. It also serves as the textbook for school law courses offered at the graduate level in Connecticut universities.

“Finding resolutions to disagreements that work for all parties is always this main goal. Disputes will invariably arise between school officials and parents or employees, and we must remember that the parties will still need to work together after a dispute is resolved. It is imperative that we maintain a respectful dialogue and consider the underlying interests of all parties in seeking to resolve problems. The ability to listen is crucially important in this field. As subject matter experts, lawyers know the controlling legal principles, but if we do not listen carefully to our clients, we will not have the full story. Providing legal advice must be a dialogue between the client who knows the facts and the lawyer who knows the law.”

Mooney, who’s garnered nearly 50 years of legal experience, is the current chair emeritus and former co-chair of Shipman’s School Law Practice Group. Over the years, Mooney has taught school law at the University of Connecticut School of Law since 1985, has served as Professor-in-Residence at the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut since 2001 and is an adjunct professor in both the School of Law and the School of Education of Quinnipiac University.

Additionally, as a regularly published writer, Mooney has authored numerous textbooks and handbooks, namely A Practical Guide to Connecticut School Law, which is a comprehensive treatise on Connecticut school law still utilized by teachers, administrators and board of education members throughout the state.

“If a problem can arise, it can arise in a school, and accordingly my colleagues and I in the School Law Practice Group at Shipman & Goodwin deal with problems that range from the mundane to the bizarre. There is never a dull day, and it is a pleasure and privilege to help school officials find creative solutions to the wide range of challenges they confront in educating Connecticut youth,” concluded Mooney.

Protecting Patients, Families and the Public

Dozens of patients experienced unfathomable and avoidable pain while being treated at Yale University Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Clinic (REI) for what should have been routine IVF treatment. They turned to Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC for justice and found award-winning, empathic counsel who are driving an action that may positively impact women’s health care nationwide.

BY JUSTIN SMULISON

WOMEN’S SAFETY IS CONTINUALLY AT RISK, and their voices have historically been ignored or silenced by the medical profession. This is true even during some of the most personal and vulnerable situations. In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment involves sharp medical tools. Without appropriate medication, intense and intolerable pain is certain.

Unfortunately, nearly one hundred patients who were being treated at Yale REI in Connecticut experienced this horror during infertility-related surgeries. Their complaints of pain over the course of months and years went ignored.

The patients, who were having difficulty conceiving or wanted to freeze their eggs, visited the center for routine surgical and retrieval procedures. Though the process is traditionally straightforward, it requires a prescribed amount of fentanyl for pain management during and post-treatment.

“One of the nurses swapped vials of fentanyl prescribed for pain management with saline solution.”

“Many of these women had sought treatment at the center because of Yale’s brand recognition,” says Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder PC partner Josh Koskoff, who, along with partner Kelly Fitzpatrick, leads the multi-plaintiff litigation. “But its reputation belied what happened to these women under the negligent watch of its administrators.”

Indeed, approximately one hundred patients reported excruciating pain during and following the infertility-related surgeries.

No reasonable explanation was immediately offered and the patients individually filed complaints. The federal investigation that stemmed from the case revealed the cause of this calamity.

“In the midst of a well-known opiateaddiction epidemic, Yale REI set up a sloppy system that was destined to fail. Without proper systems, protocols or oversight in place to prevent opiate abuse, over the course of months if not years, one of the nurses, Donna Monticone, swapped vials of fentanyl prescribed for pain management with saline solution,” says Koskoff, who was named a Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in 2023 and 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut for Medical Malpractice–Plaintiffs.

Monticone surrendered and pled guilty to federal charges. According to published reports, Yale had violated the recordkeeping requirements of the Controlled Substances Act on at least 685 separate occasions. And though Yale paid $308,250 to the Department of Justice to resolve violations of the Controlled Substances Act, the victims sought further justice from Yale for their pain and suffering. They

turned to Koskoff for representation in the lawsuit, knowing the Bridgeport-based firm had a reputation for unparalleled legal representation in precedent-setting medical malpractice and civil rights cases in Connecticut.

Koskoff partner Kelly Fitzpatrick coleads the multi-plaintiff litigation on behalf of the 93 patient plaintiffs. In addition to being a qualified advocate, Fitzpatrick could immediately empathize with her clients, as she had recently undergone IVF treatment herself.

“I understand the psychological and physical toll that IVF can take on women and their families,” says Fitzpatrick, who Best Lawyers named the 2024 “Lawyer of the Year” in Stamford for Mass Tort Litigation / Class Action – Plaintiffs. After meeting with many of the clients and learning what they endured, Fitzpatrick says the case became more personal. “These women were literally crying out about their pain and were ignored. We are fighting to secure justice and compensation for Yale’s systemic failures and inexcusable conduct.”

The case is still in discovery and the Koskoff team expects the first trial to begin in 2025. Fitzpatrick says she hopes other IVF centers will take notice of the case as it builds, and take every measure possible to provide adequate treatment to its patients.

“It is incomprehensible that so many women experienced profound pain, were categorically ignored and are still fighting to be heard,” Fitzpatrick says. “These patients were violated, and through our advocacy, we hope to correct this injustice for our clients and prevent it from

impacting other families.”

If Koskoff Koskoff & Bieder’s track record is any indication, its clients will be well cared for. Since its inception in 1936, the firm has established itself as a leader in the areas of catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death and other complex litigation. Koskoff is renowned for many landmark legal victories for injured plaintiffs throughout the years. Recent achievements include two history-making results in cases regarding the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

In the first case, Soto et al v. Bushmaster Firearms International, Koskoff attained a $73 million settlement, marking the first and only time in U.S. history that a gun manufacturer has been held accountable for a mass shooting. In the second case, Lafferty et al. v. Alex Jones, the firm attained a $1.5 billion verdict against notorious “conspiracy theorist” Alex Jones for this nearly decade-long harassment of 14 relatives of Sandy Hook victims and one FBI agent who were defamed by Jones. The verdict is believed to be the largest defamation verdict in U.S. history.

“The results from our civil trials and lawsuits have enhanced public safety and set a precedent for what can and cannot be tolerated in society,” Koskoff says, adding that the litigation against Yale University Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Clinic will hopefully signal a warning to other institutions that offer IVF and other reproductive treatments. “We want women to feel confident about their wellbeing when they seek IVF treatment, and we hope the results of our action against Yale REI will ease the minds of patients and future parents.”

COMPLEX DIVORCES & CUSTODY DISPUTES

We routinely navigate clients through high-stakes divorce. The majority of our clients have challenging cases due to complex property division issues or because alimony, child support and custody are being contested. Our depth in this niche is well known and differentiates Rutkin, Oldham & Griffin from other firms. We limit the number of cases we take to ensure that all clients receive the highest quality of service and personal attention.

ONES TO WATCH AWARDS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
