Law Clerk Anthony Simon Awarded at Haitian American Lawyers Association of NY’s 11th Annual Gala

Anthony Simon, a Law Clerk in the firm’s General Liability, Tort and Insurance Defense department, was recently awarded at the Haitian American Lawyers Association of NY’s 11th Annual Gala at Leonard's Palazzo in Great Neck. His essay focused on growing up in the underserved community of Spring Valley, NY, and experiencing systemic inequalities in education, which inspired him to pursue a career in law. Anthony has worked with the NAACP to support minority youth and organized several sports events to fund scholarships. He also created an Instagram page, “@Aspire2Law,” to mentor aspiring minority lawyers and provide resources to bridge the gap in legal representation. His goal is to empower others and increase diversity in the legal profession.
