Sometimes the best picture of your firm has nothing to do with a courtroom, conference room or office. It’s this one. 👇

This year’s Abrams Fensterman Family Picnic brought together colleagues, families and friends for a great day of sunshine, food, games and fun. ☀️

Getting so many members of the AF family together outside the office is always special - and a great reminder that some of the most important connections we build happen beyond the workday.

We’re proud of this team - and especially proud to see so much of it together in one picture. 💙

Thank you to everyone who helps make Team AF what it is!
