The Judge Maxwell Heiman Memorial Award is presented to a Hartford County lawyer in his or her first ten years of practice who exemplifies the high standards of service to the profession, ethics, scholarship and devotion to clients that were the hallmarks of Judge Heiman's professional career as a lawyer and judge.
"I want to thank the Hartford County Bar Association for recognizing me with this award, it is a true highlight in my legal career so far," commented Fote. "I also want to thank my Day Pitney colleagues for their support, mentorship and comradery, without which I would not be here accepting this award."

"I've worked closely with Ashley for years; she is a consummate professional, trusted colleague, and a delight to work with.
