In that capacity, he obtained a dismissal on behalf of a company that was being sued by the son of a former employee. Both the employee and son had died from mesothelioma and the plaintiff’s final demand was over $500k. Prior to that, Mr. Sanetti worked at a respected litigation boutique in New Haven, Connecticut, where he represented individuals in a variety of civil and criminal cases. Previously, Mr. Sanetti served as a summer associate, law clerk, and associate at a general practice firm in Hartford, Connecticut.
