Cellino Law

Last week, Tom Cleere, managing attorney at our Melville office, was invited to speak to students in the Plaintiff's Law Association at Hofstra University Tom spent time engaging with the students on the anatomy of a lawsuit from complaint to trial, as well his personal experiences as a seasoned trial attorney. It was a fantastic opportunity for up-and-coming legal professionals to learn first-hand how a lawsuit is handled outside of the classroom. We hope to be back soon for another speaker event!

Yesterday, members of our Buffalo team spent time volunteering at FeedMore WNY packing and sorting meals for the Backpack Program. Feedmore's Backpack Program assists students who rely on free or reduced-price school lunches by providing them with easily-prepared and nutritious take-home meals on weekends, holidays, and throughout the summer. Our team was able to fill 6 pallets for the program, which totals to 648 meals for children across WNY.

This past weekend, members of our Cellino Law team joined the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk here at the Outer Harbor in Buffalo. Together, team Cellino was able to donate a total of $777 that’ll help to fund breast cancer research and provide resources for breast cancer warriors. #makingstrides716 #breastcancerawareness

Although she has not declared a concentration yet, Bella is passionate about helping others, which is pushing her in the direction of civil legal aid.
