I participated in the ZOOM “Meet and Greet” with the newly formed Serbian Attorney Association. Not only was I impressed with how well it was attended but the “Meet and Greet” flowed perfectly with each person having ample time to introduce themselves and get to know each other. I am a licensed lawyer for over 35 years, and I was tremendously pleased to meet so many talented and successful people within our Serbian community. Congratulations to the Board of the Serbian Attorney Association and BRAVO to our extremely successful current generation of attorneys. I look forward to seeing all your future accomplishments!
