A Year of Gratitude

Phil’s Legacy

It has been one year since the passing of our mentor Philip M. Epstein on April 4, 2021. 

At the firm, we continue to feel his presence  --- in how we uphold the highest tenets of advocacy, how we serve our clients, how we seek to be collegial over combative with members of the bar, and how we strive to mentor young students and lawyers.

We are comforted that opportunities to share "Phil" stories within our firm and with other colleagues still abound.  

Phil's enduring legacy at this firm derives from his unwavering instinct to promote and support the careers and personal aspirations of all of its members.  While the firm has grown over the years, the robust culture of mentoring and mutual respect has never been lost and ensures that our reputation for excellence is underwritten and celebrated by all of our members.

The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude - Thornton Wilder
