Susan Mauro takes over as President of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association

The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association installed its new president, Susan Mauro, during a ceremony that was held at the Brooklyn Bar Association building on Tuesday, June 14.

Mauro, who is taking over for Madeline Kirton, was installed by past president Hon. Sylvia Hinds-Radix, the current NYC Corporation Counsel, who formerly sat on the bench at the Appellate Division, Second Department. Dean Delianites served as the master of ceremonies for the event.

Mauro is a partner at Ahmuty Demers & McManus where she is one of the firm’s senior litigators who works in the trial court and appellate levels. A St. John’s University and New York Law School graduate, Mauro started out working for Zawacki, Everett, Gray & McLaughlin until 2006 when she went to Abrams Fensterman, where she worked for over 13 years.

While Mauro has become known as a litigator, she got her start as a paralegal specialist in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York prior to law school. There she assisted in prosecuting major drug cartel cases in the criminal division’s narcotic’s unit. She also has experience working as in-house and outside counsel for various insurance companies.

Mauro was installed alongside the new and reappointed officers, including Victoria Serigano, Raquel Miranda, Danielle Ciraola, Jovia Radix, and Angelicque Moreno. The directors, and the delegates for the Women’s Bar Association for the State of New Yorki, were also installed during the ceremony.
