Attorney General Tong Congratulates Matthew Larock, Walter Menjivar, Charlene Spencer on Nominations to Connecticut Superior Court Bench, Family Court
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong congratulated Deputy Associate Attorney General Matthew Larock and Assistant Attorney General Water A. Menjivar on their nominations today to the Connecticut Superior Court bench, as well as Assistant Attorney General Charlene W. Spencer on her nomination to serve as a Family Court Magistrate.“On behalf of the entire Office of the Attorney General, I send congratulations to all of today’s nominees, and especially to our own Deputy Associate Attorney General Matt Larock, and Assistant Attorneys General Walter Menjivar and Charlene Spencer. As Chief of the Employment Rights section, Matt has been an unflappable leader. His positive energy and reservoir of institutional knowledge will be sorely missed and very tough to replace. As an Assistant Attorney General, and through his service to the Governor’s Office, Walter Menjivar has been assigned to some of our state’s most complex and consequential matters. Charlene Spencer has dedicated three decades to the Office of the Attorney General, building a wealth of expertise across our Office. All three are highly respected, skilled and compassionate attorneys, colleagues and mentors, who will be a tremendous benefit to our state and legal system in their new roles," said Attorney General Tong.
Attorney General Tong also congratulated Stamford State Rep. Daniel J. Fox and former Assistant Attorney General and Commissioner of the Connecticut State Department of Veterans Affairs Thomas J. Saadi:
“It was an honor to serve with Dan Fox in the Stamford delegation. He is a close personal friend, and this nomination is such an honor for him and his family,” said Attorney General Tong. “Tom Saadi was a longtime, well-liked Assistant Attorney General before his exceptional service as Commissioner of the Department of Veterans Affairs. He is also a tireless advocate for and leader within the Danbury Lebanese community. This is a proud moment not only for him, but for his former colleagues here in the Office of the Attorney General, and for his community.”
