Daniel Antonelli recognized for pro bono work during the pandemic
During the spring and summer of 2020, while New York City was still recovering from the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, lawyers in Brooklyn tried to figure out how they could help the situation.
One of the ways that was developed at the time was a pro bono program for families who had lost loved ones due to COVID, by which the lawyers could administer the families’ estates if those loved ones had died without a will and had less than $50,000.
Many bar associations in New York City pitched in, and Daniel Antonelli led the way at the Brooklyn Bar Association. Antonelli is chair of the Trusts & Estates section at the BBA and helped to organize efforts.
