The law firm of Paley Rothman's collective attorney resume includes legal degrees from some of the country’s top law schools and faculty positions at universities, law schools and continuing legal education programs. Many of our lawyers hold leadership positions with a variety of local and national legal, charitable and civic organizations. And a significant number are frequently asked to speak at professional meetings, business seminars or community gatherings, providing information and insights of interest to the attendees.
It is not surprising, therefore, that our attorneys’ experience and excellent record of results have earned both the individuals and the firm itself a myriad of awards, acknowledgments and honors.
