We are pleased to announce that Joseph Carlucci will be a recipient of the Westchester County Business Journal’s Above the Bar Award in the category of Most Socially Conscious Attorney.
Mr. Carlucci and four other leading Westchester attorneys will be honored at an event on June 8 at Whitby Castle in Rye, NY. Anthony Scarpino, Westchester District Attorney, will be the keynote speaker. Past Above the Bar recipients from Cuddy & Feder have included Robert Feder, Eon Nichols, Neil Rimsky, William Null and Lucia Chiocchio.
“We are proud to see Joe’s commitment to Westchester County recognized in this way,” said Chris Fisher, the firm’s managing partner. “Cuddy & Feder has a long tradition of giving back to the local community, and we intend to continue doing so, following the example of leaders such as Joe.”
Mr. Carlucci has been actively involved in bettering the Westchester community for decades, primarily in the area of education.
