Bay Ridge Lawyers Association is set to honor a trio of distinguished past presidents who played pivotal roles during the COVID-19 pandemic at their 2023 Annual Cocktail Reception and Dance.

Slated for June 15, 2023, from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at The Vanderbilt at South Beach on Staten Island, the event promises to be a night of recognition and celebration. The honorees include Mary Ann Stathopoulos, William Gillen, and the association’s current president, Dominic Famulari.

“This year it is in honor of three incredible past presidents, our colleagues, our friends – Mary Ann Stathopoulos, William Gillen, and Dominic Famulari,” said past president Stephen Chiaino. “This group kept us together through an unimaginable pandemic. The association is now bigger, stronger, better for all three of their efforts. We need our members to turn out, I understand it is going to be in Staten Island, but if you can be there for them, we’d really appreciate the support.”

Stathopoulos, an alumna of Southwestern University Law and NYU undergrad, presently serves as a senior corporate counsel for global compliance at Cisco Systems Inc., earning praise for her meticulous attention to detail in contract review.

Gillen, known for his specialty in estate planning, administration, and real estate transactions, established his private practice in 2009. His remarkable career spans roles as a Guardian ad Litem in Surrogate’s Court Proceedings and Court Evaluator and Counsel to Alleged Incapacitated Persons in NYS Supreme Court Guardianship Proceedings.

Famulari, a distinguished attorney and law leader, is a summa cum laude graduate of St. John’s University and earned his Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School. Partnering with his father at the Law Office of John D. Famulari, he has held prominent roles such as President of the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn, and the Catholic Lawyers Guild of Brooklyn.

Join the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association in honoring these legal luminaries for their dedicated service and resilience in challenging times. Mark your calendars for this special occasion.
