Attorney Dan Casagrande Exceeded Expectations

Cramer & Anderson Partner Dan Casagrande was recently praised by the national firm Copier Analytics for his work achieving a favorable settlement in a Connecticut case.

The testimonial from Martin Silver

Our business, Copier Analytics, analyzes the high costs of printing and copying for clients, including management contracts, and then saves businesses and organizations significant amounts of money—from $50,000 for a law firm to nearly $2 million for UConn and nearly $9 million for New York University. When a Connecticut client moved to break contractual obligations with Copier Analytics, we sought the counsel of Cramer & Anderson Partner Dan Casagrande. In mediation a judge offered us $20,000, which was unacceptable given the situation, though perhaps a sign an optimal result might not be achieved. Attorney Casagrande recently settled the case for an amount far greater than that mediation offer. The settlement validated the legal action financially and affirmed the legal principle that contracts forged in good faith cannot be set aside because of unrelated circumstances. Copier Analytics is successful because we exceed clients’ expectations, and by doing a wonderful job in a difficult case, Attorney Casagrande exceeded our expectations. As a result, Cramer & Anderson is now our go-to law firm in Connecticut. —Martin Silver President, Copier Analytics Benefactor, New York University Silver School of Social Work
