Bressler, Amery & Ross, P.C.

This weekend, our firm's principals and counsel came together in the sunny embrace of South Florida for an unforgettable firm retreat. With the theme of "Leadership at All Levels," we embarked on a weekend filled with laughter, connection, relationship building, and invaluable insights into professional branding for leaders. The highlight was our Havana Nights celebration, where we were whisked away to the lively streets of Havana. It was a vibrant evening of camaraderie, reminding us of the strong relationships we've built at #Bressler. Together, we celebrated our professional accomplishments and goals for the future and the shared experiences that make our firm exceptional!

Last week, on Wednesday, October 23rd, Diana C. Manning, a member of #Bressler's Management Committee and Principal, received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Rutgers School of Law–Newark Alumni Association at their annual gala. This award is presented annually to a small and select group of graduates of the Rutgers Law School, to recognize their exceptional role in the legal profession. She was supported by her family and fellow #BAR attorneys Cynthia Borrelli, Emily Fetsko King, Esq., Nathania Reyes, Esq., Kyle A. Valente, and Erica Litvak. We are so proud of you, Diana—way to #raisetheBAR!

Our #Bressler team had a fantastic time at the 2024 Far Hills Race Meeting- The Hunt, this past Saturday, October 19th! It was a day filled with #networking, delicious food, and an exciting steeplechase. We enjoyed connecting with clients and spending time with our #BAR family.

On Monday, October 21st members of our #FL office volunteered at the Town 'N Country Hurricane Milton Support Station, set up by Hillsborough County. The Support Station provided air-conditioned cooling tents for individuals to take a break from the heat, free laundry facilities, showers, clean bathrooms, and two hot meals a day for those in need. These stations were placed in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene and Milton, where people lost homes and belongings to the storms. Our #Bressler volunteers helped package and distribute meals, disinfecting wipes, garbage bags, dish soap, first aid kits, pet food, and coloring books. When Hillsborough County Staff ran out of hot meals, our Florida team stepped up and purchased an additional 30 meals for those who needed it! Our Florida office also raised $1,800, which was used to purchase hygiene kits, blankets, towels, laundry pods, and additional materials for individuals who had been displaced, doubled up in homes, or had their entire homes destroyed by flooding. It was truly amazing to give back directly to the local community, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support from our entire FL Office. A special shoutout goes to our amazing boots on the ground volunteers: Lisa Vick, Richard Ruiz, Hope Zelinger, Amy Costa, Amie Maxant, Bill Tucker, Jessica M Aldeguer, Esq., Corey Roberts, and Roxanne Rehm for their hard work! You guys are rockstars! #bresslergiveback
