Rochester, N.Y., April 14, 2017 — The Daily Record selected Nicholas R. Miraglia, Partner, Burgess & Miraglia, P.C. to receive an Excellence in Law Award /Up and Coming Attorneys. Thirty-six members of the legal community throughout the area were recognized for their outstanding work.
The Daily Record’s Excellence in Law program honors members of the legal community with three awards: Top Women in Law, Up & Coming Attorneys and Unsung Legal Heroes.
The Top Women in Law awards recognize the outstanding accomplishments of female attorneys who are making notable contributions to the legal profession while inspiring positive change in the community. The Unsung Legal Heroes awards honor individuals from area civil legal services who have consistently worked to help those in need, often behind the scenes. Those who receive the Up & Coming Attorneys awards demonstrate professional accomplishment, community service and a strong commitment to the legal profession early in their careers. To be considered, nominees must be admitted to the bar for 10 years or less.
“Excellence in Law honorees go above and beyond for their clients and their communities,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record. “They demonstrate a commitment to the profession and to our Western New York community through notable pro bono work and other means. The Daily Record is pleased to honor them.”
The 2017 Excellence in Law Awards will be presented June 1 at a luncheon and awards reception starting at 11:30 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency Rochester, 125 East Main Street in Rochester. Winners will be profiled in a special magazine that will be inserted into the June 2 issue of The Daily Record and available online at www.NYDailyRecord.com.
