Special Message from Linda C. Kramer

               This is a tough message for me, as I am announcing that after 33 years, I have retired from the practice of law. This has been a journey filled with constant challenge, learning and love; the experience of working with you and your families has enriched me beyond belief. I am humbled and will be forever grateful for the trust you have had in me and for allowing me to share your laughter and tears. As I reach this moment, I reflect with pride on my ability to “practice what I preach”, looking ahead to my own succession. My daughter, Deborah, who joined the firm in 2001 as a young mother and recent law school graduate, has stepped into the role of managing partner with intelligence, creativity, and a steady focus on the future. It has been a joy and a blessing for both of us to work together to serve our clients, support our community, and mentor others who share our values. I have been blessed to work with wonderful attorneys and staff at Kramer Radin and I know they will continue to honor the legacy I’m leaving behind, which is to always practice law with our clients’ best interests in mind and to do right by what we seek to achieve. The good news is that I am looking forward to my next adventure.
