Profiles in Leadership: Lucy DiSalvo helps to provide the backbone for many local bar associations
There are plenty of people with the first name “Lucy” in the Brooklyn legal community. However, if that name is spoken on Court Street, in a courthouse or at a bar association meeting, people are most likely referring to Lucy DiSalvo.
DiSalvo has worked in the legal community for nearly 30 years: first as a paralegal for the law firm Fixler and Associates for seven years, then as the principal secretary to two different Supreme Court justices, Hon. Anthony Cutrona and Hon. Ellen Spodek, for another 22.
What DiSalvo is perhaps best known for, though, is the fact that she helps to run four separate local bar associations — the Columbian Lawyers Association, the Brooklyn Brandeis Society, the Nathan R. Sobel Inns of Court and the Catholic Lawyers Guild.
