By: Daily Record Staff//February 2, 2023//
We are excited to continue our Power List program with our first list of 2023: our Power 20 Family Law list.
This list includes lawyers who have spent much of their career working in family law.
The people on this list help clients navigate some of the most challenging times in their lives. They guide people through divorce, child custody and support, adoption, prenups and postnups, and more. The need for strong legal advocacy has been heightened over the past three years as COVID-19 has added even more stress and uncertainty to processes that were already full of both. These attorneys continued to serve their clients admirably while navigating new rules resulting from the pandemic.
As with our previous lists, the Power 20 Family Law list is presented in alphabetical order. And again, rather than tell you about all of these power players’ accomplishments and accolades, we decided to give them a chance to tell you more about themselves through their answers to a few different questions. For anyone who was unable to complete our questionnaire, we put together a small profile.
I welcome any feedback you have at [email protected]. If you would like to make a suggestion for a future Power List, you can do so at https://rbj.net/power-list-recommendation-form/.
