Law Day 2024

I was happy to attend the Milford Bar Association’s Law Day on May 3, 2024 at Southport Brewing Company here in Milford!  Nice to see old friends and make some new friends in our local legal community.   We celebrated Astrid Colello who has been a local poll volunteer for over 40 years!  We also recognized attorney John Walkley for his contributions to the legal profession for the past 40+ years.
