If you ever need someone trustworthy, honest, and gets at it! She can be found here, and her name is Irene Bassock

I hired Atty. Bassock for an employment discrimination case. She was extremely competent, organized, calm and very communicative. She really helped me understand the process with CHRO and my other options. She involved me every step of the way. Atty. Bassock was very direct, assertive and strategic in her approach for handling my case. I felt completely supported. The case outcome was better than I expected. I would highly recommend her!

Attorney Irene E. Bassock responded to my request for her legal expertise with expediency, professionalism, empathy, and detailed information. Attorney Bassock relieved my concerns promptly and comprehensively so I could move forward with confidence regarding my issues.

Irene has been on both sides of employment law; she has knowledge and experience working on behalf of large corporations negotiating and protecting their rights when it comes to employment law but also has the valuable experience of helping the individual who finds themselves wrongfully terminated by that large corporation. It is extremely fortunate and rare to find a lawyer who understands both sides of employment law - for the powerful and for the not so powerful. Irene Bassock is the lawyer you want on your side!

Irene was so helpful in assisting me with reviewing my contract after I had been laid off. She was able to provide guidance, support and suggestions for going forward. She is extremely easy to talk to and non judgmental. Working with Irene definitely put my mind at ease regarding my work situation and I am very glad I chose to work with her.

I consulted Irene on a sensitive issue at work, which I was very nervous about. I knew that not taking any action was not an option. Irene was able to listen to my concerns, address them carefully and provide me with a suggestion that didn't require immediate or imminent litigation. Instead, Irene recommended a measured approach to help address the issue head-on. As a result, on my own, I was prepared to cover facts and remove emotions and opinions from the consequent conversation with my manager. Thankfully my issue was resolved and I am grateful that Irene gave me the courage to speak up early on. I highly recommend Irene for her authentic, kind and generous personality. She is someone who will have your interest in mind and is reliable, extremely knowledgeable attorney.

Irene did an EXCELLENT job! I really needed time-sensitive help with a legal agreement, and Irene came through big time!! She responded to me very promptly and then reviewed the legal agreement (complete with red-lined comments) and got back to me with detailed feedback VERY quickly! I really appreciated that! She was also super nice and caring, had a sharp, incisive mind, answered all of my questions, and was very reasonably priced. I strongly, strongly recommend!!!

Irene helped me with a termination after 22 years of employment. She knows the law and how to approach every situation. More than that she has a way to help put your mind at ease, is reachable and respond right away. This has been one of the worst times for me and she was a huge part of helping me through it. I can’t thank her enough for her compassion and guidance.

I've consulted and worked directly with Irene for over 8 years. She is an incredible advocate and a tenacious representative. The breadth and depth of Irene's competency, coupled with her experience at major firms and corporations, results in clear, concise, and complete legal service. Irene is trusted and highly respected among colleagues and clients. She is incomparable.

Irene consulted with my organization the CT Women's Education and Legal Fund (CWEALF) to update our employee handbook. Irene provided thorough and thoughtful feedback to our handbook that improved this document from an employment law and HR perspective. We were grateful for her support and insight!

I used Mrs. Bassock’s legal services during a very toxic and volatile time at my former company. I was a 2X presidents club winner in a fortune 500 device company and held a very high sales position. I had several problems with both my EA & non-compete and had several issues with commissions being withheld from me. (Including during a pregnancy) Mrs. Bassock is not only EXCELLENT at weeding through the nonsense and figuring out a strategy, but straight to the point, decisive, knows the law inside and out and will NEVER waste your time. She is most definitely an advocate for doing what is right and not letting employers take advantage. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and would seek her out if I needed legal services in the future. Jk
