In a bittersweet evening with firm colleagues (past and present), friends, and family, we said goodbye to former firm partner Don Frederico, congratulated him for a stellar career as a litigator, wished him great joy and happiness in his retirement, and shared memories and reflections of working together. You will be missed, Don!
