We know that our Associate Attorneys Abigail Poole and Frank Mulé are smart, thoughtful and caring people and excellent attorneys, but it is good to know that others have noticed that too and that they are being recognized for it!

We want to take this opportunity to congratulate Frank and Abby for the recognition they have received this year:

• Both Abby and Frank have been chosen as Massachusetts Super Lawyers / Rising Stars for 2021 in the area of Estate Planning.  Rising Stars are attorneys under the age of 40 who have distinguished themselves in their practice area.
• Abby has been named the Chapter Member of the Year by the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (MassNAELA).  Abby has been an active member of MassNAELA for many years, and currently serves as the Chapter’s Vice President, as the co-chair of the Membership Committee, as a member of the Special Needs Steering Committee. Abby is the President-Elect of MassNAELA for 2022, and will become the Chapter’s President in 2023.  
• Frank has been named as the 2021-22 Chair-Elect of the Young Lawyers Division of the Massachusetts Bar Association, and will assume the Chair in 2022-23. The Young Lawyers Division has over 2,600 member attorneys and organizes regular continuing legal education programs and networking events in support of members of the Bar who have been practicing for 10 years or less.

We are proud of Frank and Abby, and happy that they are receiving the recognition they deserve as up-and-coming leaders and knowledgeable and experienced attorneys in the areas of Estate Planning and Elder Law.
