Christine A. Szpet

Owner & Attorney, Finger Lakes Attorney PLLC

Years in current role: 1

What do you enjoy most about your position?

Having just started my own law firm, I am embracing the challenge of being a new business owner and a solo practitioner at the same time. I am grateful for the enthusiasm and support that my team brings to work each day as it has certainly made it more enjoyable to learn how to manage the many new responsibilities that I now have in addition to practicing law!

What is one thing you hope to accomplish before the end of the year?

By continuing to offer the level of service that my clients have come to know and expect, it is my hope that our firm may serve as a legal resource for those in need of guidance with respect to estate and long-term care planning, estate administration and probate, and elder law in the Finger Lakes region.

What do you enjoy most about practicing law in the Rochester area?

The greater Rochester area has so much to offer in terms of community — from artists and makers to restaurants and live music venues — it is simply one of the best places in upstate New York to work, live, and play in. To be able to practice law here is quite a privilege. The people I meet every day make it so worth it and I am looking forward to working with them and their families for decades to come.
