It was our pleasure to welcome the college and law student interns from the Ninth Judicial District Summer Internship Program to our office for lunch, a panel discussion, and networking.

The discussion featured Partners David Lachtman, Brian Cohen, and Brian Belowich, and was moderated by Partner Hon. Joan B. Lefkowitz (Ret.), who led a thoughtful conversation about careers in the law, professional development, and the many paths available to aspiring attorneys.

We were also fortunate to have colleagues Jim Landau, Kerry Cunningham, and Joanna Sandolo join the discussion and share their experiences and perspectives with the students.

We were honored that Hon. Linda S. Jamieson joined us and offered her own words of encouragement and insight.

Most importantly, it was a pleasure to meet such an impressive group of future lawyers. Their thoughtful questions, enthusiasm, and engagement made for a terrific afternoon.

A special thank you to Lisa Wolland, who leads the Ninth Judicial District Summer Internship Program, for her dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for students to gain firsthand exposure to the courts, the legal profession, and public service.

We appreciate the opportunity to host this outstanding group and look forward to following their future success.

We are proud to share that our Partner, Brian Cohen, delivered the keynote address at this year’s Yom HaShoah Commemoration at the Rockland County Courthouse.

The program drew hundreds of attendees from across the bench, bar, and broader community, coming together to reflect on the enduring lessons of the Holocaust and their relevance today.

Brian emphasized the importance of truth and the rule of law in safeguarding a just society, and the responsibility we share to defend both.

The event underscored the need for vigilance, the preservation of truth, and the vital role of legal institutions in protecting fundamental rights.

We are honored to have Brian represent our firm at such a meaningful and important program.
